Chunky 4 x 4 ~ Personalise a Pig Swop! ~ Due Sept 8th

All media Chunkies due 8th September 2012
Swap Due Date - September 8th
Signup/withdraw date - None
Number of Pages - 3 for 3
Number of participants - Unlimited
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!

All media covers a wide spectrum, so use your imaginations and mix up the colours and techniques. You can use any media you like ...you can even use a combination of several.
The ONLY requirement is that you use the template I have posted. You can enlarge them, shrink them and have a herd, whatever you wish as long as one of this shaped pig is used on your page.

Send in work you're proud of...any slapdash, cards with bits falling of, undersized or oversized cards will be returned to sender. If using fabric, please also make sure to finish off the edges so the cards don't fray. This can be done many ways eg. overlocking, button holestitch around the edge etc.

Please put your user name and real name on the back of all your Pages
Please put your pages in plastic bags...each page should have it's own bag
Please make sure your return address is in the envie.

Please note I am in Scotland so try to post your cards if you are an International player at least 2 weeks before the end of the swap...Please...DO NOT SEND THEM THE WEEK THE SWAP WILL END, the Postal system is so unpredictable it can take at least three weeks to get here.

International Players please send a large address label and $5.00. Please don't send the small ones you use in the corners of your envies, I should rewrite it if you do, and that hurts, so I will use them! I will supply envelopes for all.

UK Players please send a stamped self addressed envelope.

While an extra card or goodies is always appreciated it is not necessary.

Please pm me for my addy when you are ready to send.

Life happens, but please if you have to withdraw, notify me so I'm not waiting for cards that aren't coming.

I THINK I do, Ibus! I want to experiment a bit, first though.

[Ibus]

Oh goody! Hope you do join

[turtlemountain]

I would like to make piggys!!! is there a specific size? 4x4 for chunky book?
Thanks

[Ibus]

Yes, the pages are standard 4 x 4 size, the piggies you can make as big or small as you like on that page, using the template in my first post.

[turtlemountain]

ok I thought that it was just the pig, so they have to be put onto a chunky page....

[dmnh]

Hi Ibus,
I'd like to join this swap. I've had a pig chunky book going for about a year or more now and it needs some new piggies to add to it! I've already started on my pigs!
