I felt like a kid in the candy store today when I got my package! I am in love with all the borders! Everyone did such a great job! Thank you, thank you for your time and effort and everyone! Maggie: Thank you so much for organizing the swap. I can't wait to use them!

I'll get my picture here in a bit!

ETA: I misplaced my gondola polls for my border. Can anyone post a picture of my borders for me? Pretty Please!

Thanks. That was a VERY lucky find at Joann that matched the blue I chose. I was originally thinking of doing actual mosaic in paper, but you would have never gotten them as I'd still be working on them.

They are ALL very well done and very creative. I love your helmet and "hair" and embossing and queen2's banner!

Thank-you, Cinderella, yours is so cute, love the braids. I love all of them, each one is very special to me.
We are going to Disney in the Fall, hope to take lots of pictures around the world. Maybe I will post a few layouts.

I keep taking them out & looking at them over & over. I must have looked at them a dozen times since I received them.

Wow, what great work! Can't wait to see the rest.

[QUOTE=queen2;3910481] Now I don't like mine. Awesome work

After opening my package and seeing all the wonderful work, I was put to shame......but, I now have works from "the masters" to learn from and inspire me. Michele will post my pictures as (if you can believe it) my computer skills are worse than my scrapbooking skills . I'm technically challenged.
queen2.....I love your work with America and your extras....that was so sweet....thank you all ...I have to go look through it all again.

Hi guys! I am glad that so many people received theirs already!

Thanks for posting the pictures. I was busy all day today since it was the first day of the new quarter at school and I am leaving for a conference in the morning, so I didn't have much time today.

I won't be able to post mine until Sunday night or maybe Monday, since I think I fly back in late on Sunday night.

EVERYONE did a good job, so be happy. I told you in the beginning that all were welcome and you didn't have to be perfect. The key is that we all now have a set of borders that we can get our EPCOT pictures done quickly!! Woo hoo!

A couple people commented/sent PMs about any extra cost of postage. Don't worry about it. In actuality I only spent about $3 out of my own pocket extra and it was definitely worth it.

The lady at the post office said the package to Canada would take 10 days, give or take. Sorry you have to wait.

Maggie

Rella, yours is good. Like you said we have learned to inspire more. This was our first time. I hope to join in again.

I bought paper from Scrap your trip, that will go prefect with all the borders. Today I 'm going to put them all in a bag, so they ready when I need that Country. Can't wait to look at them again.

OK guys.................after looking over all your work for the 100th time (well, a number of times).....and enjoying all the offerings......what kind of machines did you use? I have a basic sizzix and cuttlebug and I always thought that was all I needed, but now that I see what you can do......I WANT what you have...This sounds very childish but I'm very envious (childish again, oh well).....Everything is so neat and clean and so detailed...I love it all. With Mother's Day and my birthday coming up....I could put out "hints"......Please let me know what you recommend, just remember it's ME and as you all know by now....technically challenged...so I need simple to understand and use. Thank you

Well, I use a Silhouette SD (they now make a 12x12 Cameo) which I probably wouldn't suggest for someone technically challenged as it hooks up to your computer. You can download die cuts from their website like iTunes. As I'm a graphic designer, I can draw whatever I want in Adobe Illustrator and it cuts it out. (It's super cool) I'm not stuck using others designs. It cuts very small pieces and can do many other things, like print and cut and drawing.

Many have Cricuts - which are easier to use, but require you to purchase cartridges that can be expensive. You can only cut what they design but they offer Disney carts. They do not require a computer. My friend has the personal Cricut (smaller model) which works well. She paid $70 on sale at Michaels. You just can't cut very small designs as the blade can't handle it.

[queen2]

mine were hand cut or punches.

Rella don't you just looking at them. Just fantastic creations.

[rella]

hand cut and punches.......I had to go and check it out again .....amazing work queen2....

I'm loving the ones I've seen -- you folks were so creative.
I love the textured paper in the Norway Mickey, and I'm borrowing the American Experience idea to modify for my DC trips. I need to find that paper for Morocco.
And I need to get to Epcot again ASAP
I can't wait to see the rest.
