Description:

Have you ever been looking for that perfect embellishment for a spot on your page that is only "yea big"? Or looking for a new way to border a page? Then this is the swap for you!

As their name implies, Deco Squares are simply squares used to add decoration. They are very inexpensive since they are composed primarily of scraps of paper. Deco Squares can be all the same or all different but are always made in sets of 3 or 4. They normally are squares but can be rectangles if it suits their theme (such as the giraffes in the picture).They can be practically any size, but are typically bigger than an inchie but smaller than an ATC.

For this swap you will make a set of 4 Deco Squares for each of 2 partners (total of 8 squares). There must be at least two layers of paper (the cardstock and the background paper) and at least one embellishment. However, you may use as many as you would like, this is just a guideline.

Remember you should send items you would be happy to receive. This swap is international because deco squares are relatively light. :) Anyone is allowed to participate, but please no no-sends; everyone like to receive something when they commit to a swap. Newbies must have a filled profile.

If you would like to receive squares in a particular theme... post a message up on this swap, otherwise, check your partners profile. Any questions? PM me :) Happy swapping!

Does tthat mean total 4 cards? Sorry!J

Rose827 12/ 2/2008 #

Yes... it means 4 squares :)

I actually just finished up a set that I think I'll post. :)

Im still confused....Two partners with 4 sqs. per person which would be a total of 8 or will each person get two squares if you mean total of 4 cards...

Above it says each set usually consists of 3 to 4 cards so I assumed it meant 4 cards per person. Just want to clarify before I think of joining.

I read it as two sets of 4 (total 8). Is that right?

Rose827 12/26/2008 #

Yes...two sets of four squares... (for a total of 8 squares)

Confusing how many cards to send if I get it wrong let me know.

Jingles, as long as there were 4 in the package you sent to your partner and they were sqaures...it is just fine. :)
