Number of Cards: 3-3

One of my favorite swaps was the collage house. It's been several years and I've decided, let's do another. As this is only my second swap the limit has to be 20. Hopefully it will fill up.

Swap Info:
This swap is for collage/paper piecing only. You will make three cards and get back three cards. Your card must have a collaged house as it's focal point w/ a collaged background. No cutout house pics and no plain backgrounds.

Swap Rules:
~ All cards are to be 2.5X3.5
~ No bulky embellishments.
~ Back your card w/ something stiff.
~ On the back include your real name, user name, location and any other info you choose.

Mailing Info:
~ Put your cards in a protective sleeve or something similar for protection.
~ PM me for my address when you're about ready to mail.
~ US: Include a stamped, self addressed envelope w/ your user name on the back.
~ International: Include a US intntl stamp (if you have one) or a US dollar and an address label. I'll supply your envelope.
~ Be sure to allow enough time when mailing for your cards to arrive to me on time.

Other Info:
~ I will leave I-traders when your cards arrive.
~ Don't forget to leave me (host) an I-trader when you get your cards back.
~ Post to the thread and/or leave rep points when you receive your returns so that folks can know who got their cards.

Some examples can be seen in post#6.
Happy creating and I can't wait to see what everyone makes!

Yes, an example would better show what you are looking for.

Sign me add anyway. I think this swap will fill up fast.
 
Thanks everyone for signing up!

Here're some examples. I was waiting for the swap to get posted before I put them up. The first four cards are from a swap I hosted somewhere else. The second four are from a swap I played in here. All are cards I rcvd, not made. Hope the pics help to inspire everyone.

I was inspired, so I got out my masterboards last night and worked these up! I used Sharpie to help the separate pieces stand out, but all the layers are collaged from the masterboards (including the backgrounds). 3 houses and a city skyrise (which can be your hostess card if you prefer.)

Looking forward to see what others come up with!

Great cards, very inspiring to see your cards.
 
Great! Welcome CastleQueen5! I was actually going to send you an invite in a day or two because I was sure you'd like to play. Thanks for joining!
