Ok, The skies the limit. No large chunky things that the postal machines will eat. Everything else is fair game to use on your cards. Remeber please send interesting cards that are your best work.


Please take the time to read all the information below.

For this swap, everyone will create three different cards that feature the Nativity Scene/ Crèche- Please, use your imagination. Please send wonderful cards that show your very best work.We know that the night He was born there was Joseph and Mary and maybe a cow or a horse to greet Him. So the important can't miss person? Of course Jesus on everycard. I'd love the entire holy family. But Mary and Jesus would be just fine.

Jennie, I'd love to play.

When you say three different cards, do you mean one with the Holy Family, one with shepherds and one with the Magi? Or should each card depict all the nativity participants?
 
Each should depict the nativity participants, or at least the Holy Family. What I don't want is the same collage 3 times, or the same style of drawing 3 times.
Hope that helps
 
I'll have to wait and see...I've got a lot of projects going on right now, and I really don't know if I could handle this right now. If I can get manage to get some projects out of the way, I might sign up. But until then, I'll wait and keep an eye on this swap. So many things going on between now and Christmas! o_O;
 
Oh well keep us in mind lisa, were you the one preping for an art show?
 
I quit doing swaps because they were too stressful for me. (oldperson alert****):goofy::yes:
But this is a swap theme thats dear to my heart......so, I would LOVE to play!
 
And we love having you Suze. You are not old you are aged to perfection like a fine wine.
 
I will, Jennie :)

I have a few things in the art show right now, but I've got a LOT of commissions I need to get done, as well as a few trades and swaps, both here on this community and outside of the community. On top of that, I have some more illuminations to do.

Better to be kept busy than idle, I guess :)
 
I'm so glad that you decided to do the swap. There is a saying Idle hands are the devils workshop. Isn't commission work in this economy wonderful. I really have to start charging for my mosaics instead of just handing them out when people like them.
 
Here are 3 cards that I made for Suntrade's christmas swap. I'll make more for this swap but these were special because I really hadn't ever done tritychs before. I am not expecting you to do cards like this. Do what moves you.

Oops, I think you might have misunderstood me - I haven't signed up yet, I'm just watching it for now. If I can get my work caught up, then I'll join. But right now, I'm not sure how long it'll take for me to get caught up in my work.

The "I will, Jennie" was in reference to I'll keep this swap in mind ;)
 
Well we'll look forward to you getting caught up. Keep, keeping us in mind
