Virtual Swap

I participated in my very first Virtual Swap, well my first swap of any type, actually.  Are you familiar with swaps?  A swap is when you agree to create some item of what ever specifications that are set by the moderator.  Usually you create a specific number of the same item, then you mail it to the moderator.  The moderator then distributes your item to each of the other contributors.  At the end of the swap you get back a copy of your item and then a copy from each of the other participants artwork.

I have never done a swap.  It sounded overwhelming to me.

Now a virtual swap is a little different.  Instead of making multiple copies of your one piece of artwork, you make just one item.  You  then  scan or photograph your artwork and e-mail your submission to your moderator by a specified deadline.  Our moderator collects all of the participants artwork and then puts all of those files into a slide show.

The purpose of the virtual swap is to be able to share our artwork with each other and with you!  The art work in this virtual swap is featuring items from our new Spring 2010 Idea Book.  So very cool!  Love that we can share ideas and art and fun and excitement all over the web.  What an amazing world we live in.

To view the Virtual Swap just scroll down to the bottom of this page and there will be a slide show.  Listed to the right are the names of all the wonderful ladies that contributed to this swap.

This is the layout I contributed to the swap.  I used the new One of a Kind (D1410) stamp set and the Veranda Level 2 Paper Packet (X7119B).  I love this 2 page spread. I used some photos that I love from about 2 years ago.
