Autumn Banner Swap Announced

for Paper Traders members only
Autumn Banner Swap
1-for-1 pennant banner swap
Skill Level: 1-Sprouting
Sign up by 08/27/2011; Mail out by 09/12/2011

In this swap, we will be making a banner that encompasses autumn colors and
images and using a bracketed pennant. The template is located in the Files
section on the Swaps site here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PT_Swaps/files/Autumn%20Banner%20Template/.

Each banner will consist of 6 pennants made of heavy cardstock or chipboard and
covered in paper. The back side of the pennants should be finished as well.
The size of each pennant is 5" across the top and the sides should be 6" long.
Spell out the word "AUTUMN" with your banner. You can embellish with ribbons,
lace, German scrap, glitter, rhinestones, buttons, or whatever makes you think
of Autumn. The pennants need to be put together in a banner by lacing ribbon or
fibers through the corners. One suggestion for preventing the ties from ripping
through the paper is to place eyelets in the corners of each pennant and thread
the ties through.

You will be partnered with another swapper, and you will send your wonderful
creation directly to them. Please sign up in the database here:
http://tinyurl.com/PTSwapsDatabase by August 27th. I will assign partners and
announce them to the group on August 28th. You must mail out your banner to
your assigned partner no later than September 12th. Please remember to upload a
picture of your banner to the album on the Swaps group before mailing:

Happy arting!
