CRS Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Well, my insane weekend is finally over, and I am looking forward to seeing all of the heritage layouts on Friday!! The chat is at 9 pm et on Friday. How is everyone doing? I saw that many of you have finished up already! Do you all like having the extra week to scrap, or would you rather go back to having 2 weeks to complete the layout? I'm just trying to get an idea for the dates for next month. My bil scanned in over 600 heritage photos from both sets of families on dh's side and gave me copies! I can't wait to look through them all and start scrapping them! You can add your layouts to the gallery here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS_Scrapper Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Wow! That is a big project to undertake. Should be rewarding too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBarnes Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 My layout for Carol (lorac) is well underway but not quite finished yet. She's already gotten two done for me! I'm not sure whether I'll be able to make the chat but I will have my layout posted before the chat time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodScrap Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Well-I think mine is going fine. I'm still intimidated by doing someone else's photos. I am super excited to see the layout my partner does!! This is my first swap-I like the extra time, but doesn't really matter!! 600 photos-how fun! I have a bunch I want to scan in, but I'm thinking of sending them off to be scanned. Back to work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&K Mom Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 My LO for Kim (podiumchick) is in process, again. The original LO is on my EHD that went AWOL during my recent time away from home (along with most of my scrap supplies). So I had an excuse to buy a new collection and start again. I won't be able to make it to the chat on Friday as my DH is coming home that day on leave for a week (he's been gone for 6 weeks!). We'll be having our first family meal together in a while. YIPPEE! But I will miss being part of the chat. How often do we have two great things to do on the same day??? Too bad for me. And, of course, I'll post my LO for Kim before the chat (hope you like it Kim) probably some time in the morning as I'll be traveling all day to pick up DH at the airport.

angdrumm Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Mine for Michelle(shelbi) is done, I won't be able to make the chat either (way too late for me), but will upload sometime in the afternoon here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry Lynn Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I have one done for Julie and am working on the second one - I like the extra week! How fun 600 heritage photos - that is so exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bride Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 My LO for Jennifer is finished! I can't wait for the swap/chat!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorac Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 My lo's for Pat (PBarnes) are done. I couldn't make up my mind between two that I did on one of her photos, so I'll be uploading two different lo's for her, and then only one on the other photo. So, there will be a total of three layouts for Pat. I keep changing them around, so I'm not even going to look at them again until it's time to upload (when do we do that?). I think I'll be able to make the chat, as it's 6pm pacific time for me. I love the extra time, but then it gives me too much time to redo and rethink what I've already done. Ah, such is the life of genius..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Carol, you crack me up! You can upload your layouts anytime on Friday, or earlier if you aren't able to do it on Friday. I am so excited to see them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrappinchar Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm done. I think. Maybe. lol I keep thinking maybe I should do something different. I already did the layout 2 different ways. Will just post both. I'll try to make it to the chat...might be a little late. How long do they usually last? 1/2 hour...1 hour? longer? I like the idea of the "extra" week. But this is my first swap...so not a good judge here. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 The chats are an hour, sometimes a little longer. Depends on the crowd size and how chatty everyone is. I'll be there for at least an hour. It sounds like everyone is doing great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoannB Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 My lo for Angela (Payne) is finished... I think. Unless I decide to change it, which is a possibility.... Argh. But, it's done for now. Fun stuff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J9Buckles Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I've been done for a couple of weeks now..........patiently waiting for the chat. Please don't make me wait another week, I don't think I could stand it! I'd go crazy, I tell ya, crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regulargal Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I've done two LO's for Ann - yes, they're done, I'm not looking at them anymore!! lol One is heritage - or as close to heritage as I could do. Ann sent me some great photos of her family, I loved them all and used as many as I could. The 2nd LO I did is more of a traditional scrapbook page, colourful and sort of fun. Hope she likes them both! I probably won't make the chat - or won't stay for long if I do manage to log in, we'll see. I'll get the LO's posted on Friday for sure tho. This has been fun!

CRS Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Janine, I just have to tell you how much I love your siggy! The extra week is nice, but I see a lot of you seem to have too much time to change things on your lo's, and change things, and change things! I don't have a partner this month, but I bet I'd be doing the same thing to my lo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie - scrapaholic Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Okay, I must confess, I have not even started. I was way to busy last week, so now I have to get it going this week for Friday. Don't worry Sherry, I promise it will be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeschaff Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 My LO for Angela (Nussbaum) is done! Had fun with this one, can't wait for her response! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medi8Amy Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I've had Opal's done for a while and I have stopped trying to change them. I think I did them over, completely, three or four times. I kept changing my idea of what made a heritage layout exactly that. I hope she likes them. I felt as if I got to know her, and her family a bit by doing this, mainly because her journaling was so complete. I am hoping to make the chat... see you there!

scrappinchar Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Oh boy.... after reading the responses...I'm wondering if mine is 'heritage-y" enough. lol I might need to go make a duller looking layout. Sorry Vaughnde. Maybe I'll have THREE for you to look at. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixyA Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 My layout for Sara is just about done. I have one spot that I can't decide... keep turning layers on and off and on and off and on.... you get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabethp Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Tracy sent me some really neat pictures. I was truly inspired. Although I don't think it classifies as traditional heritage (never did one before.) I have it completed except for fony choice and one layer that I am trying to decide on or off. Guess we think alike Tracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

podiumchick Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I'm just getting started. I'm glad for the extra week this time because it fell during spring break! The truth is, I'd probably wait until a few days before because I am ruled by deadlines.... I may also be missing the chat--long story involving a DD home from college over Easter whose car decided to die and a chance to return it and see her perform on piano Friday night. Looks like Debbie (B & K Mom) will also be busy that night. Either way, I'll get the LO posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richelle Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I think I am done.. Not sure though.. I think it needs something else... This is my first swap, am I supposed to do more than one LO?? If so, it is fine I just need to get busy on it This has been a fun one to do. It was challenging doing someone elses pics since I usually pic the colors of the LO to the type of person they are. This one I had to depend on the journaling and still keep it heritage... I think MaryJo is gonna love it.. I hope so anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRS Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Nope, only one layout is expected. If you want to do more than one, that's up to you. Don't stress over whether the layout looks "heritage" enough. The focus is the photo(s) and journaling. As long as the layout makes the photo shine, that's all that matters!
