Julie Nutting Prima Doll Swap #4 Thanksgiving

This is a swap using the fabulous doll stamps by Julie Nutting. They are large stamps and run from about 6" to 7 1/2" tall.

If you don't know what they are just do a google search and you can find them. All sorts of places sell the stamps and cards and embellishments to go with them!

For this swap you will make a tag for each of two swap partners. Each month we will have a different theme. This months theme is:

THANKSGIVING

Use your imagination. It can be anything that brings to mind to YOU what Thanksgiving is about. Cornucopia, pumpkins, gratitude, blessings, food, family, the sky is the limit, as always

You will need to have at least 5 different embellishments including the background. you can use stamps, paper, paint, colored pencils, pens,nice stickers,flowers, etc. The doll must also be well decorated, whether that be painted, colored or paper pieced. Feel free to add more if you like! There are SO many possibilities with this holiday

You will have two partners. This IS sender's choice, so even if you don't care for what you got, if it meets the criteria, you need to give a 5 rating. You CAN look at your swap partners' profiles and see likes or dislikes. At the same time, if it does NOT meet the criteria, rate a 3. If someone uses a print out instead of an actual stamped image, it's an automatic 3. If there are not at least 5 different embellishments, again it's a 3. Two different kinds of flowers counts as 2 different embellishments, etc.

I plan on doing one each month. We are back to the one month to make time frame. You don't have to wait for partners as this is senders choice!

You must not have any unresolved 1's. No recent 3's, without an explanation. I WILL allow newbies with a well filled out profile. Flakers will be banned from any future swaps. I WILL angel if need be, but let's make this fun and everyone send on time. If you don't think you can follow the criteria or send, then don't sign up.

I WILL be checking profiles. If you have been in previous swaps I've hosted and failed to rate, I will ban you for that too if it is not resolved by the time partners are selected. Rating is just about as important as sending. I want this to be fun, and rewarding.

happy swapping!

P.S., I recently did a private swap with someone who could not get the stamps herself. I stamped cardstock paper with my doll stamps and sent and she sent something else in return. If you don't have the stamps, try a private swap. I'm available, as I'm sure are others. Then you can join these awesome swaps!
