Poll for February Card Swap Ideas - Your chance to have your say.

[Merry]

Yes, the first month of 2012 is almost done. Time to start thinking February and what will we do as the card swap. Please put your votes in...remember you can choose multiple themes. I will keep the poll running until Sunday and then open a group on Monday with the winning theme.

Thanks Merry some good choices there. I will make sure I don't forget this time lol.

Is that last option really a normal little matchbox (eg redheads) or a bigger one? What size are we talking? (sounds like fun)

[Merry]

We did this once before Lauren, and we all swapped the smaller 'Redhead' version. If people don't have matches or want to buy them there are plenty of templates out there in Google world. Here is one at Mirkwood.

Lauren, I am sure you will be amazed at how much can fit into a small matchbox.

[camsmum]

Awesome... I wasn't sure, as I've seen some larger templates for matchbox-style boxes and wondered if that's what it meant. I'm voting for that!

can i be silly and ask waht inchies are?

[Merry]

Not a silly question at all Alex. I should have explained. They are pieces of chipboard (cereal box) cut to an inch square. They are then covered in patterned paper and embellished. Here are some links to ones that Craftmad members have swapped or used in the past.

Well we have a tie.....I have just flipped a coin and 'heads' was it .....the matchbox has won. I have started a group here if you would like to join in this swap.

[eyak48]

Thanks Merry, off to do it now so I don't forget this time.

[HuggiesCrafts]

I'm going to sit this one out girls. next month maybe.

[KARLEEN]

Somehow I missed the poll! I had decided earlier that I wasnt going to join in any swaps this month as I have a huge backlog of orders to fill, but a decorated matchbox sounds like too much fun NOT to do! I am in!
