Computer Printing Frenzy II *EDITED*

This swap was originally hosted by craftygirl back in September 2007. Only 4 people signed up for it that time, including myself, but I thought it was such a good idea, and I so enjoyed the swap that was sent to me by craftygirl that I thought I would host my own version of it and hopefully it will get a few more sign ups this time around, because it really is such a fun idea for a swap.

If you're like me, you spend a fortune in computer paper and ink. More than likely, you've even invested in ink refill kits and boxes of printing paper at Staples . If this sounds anything like you, too, then this swap is just what you are looking for!!

For this swap, you will have one partner as two would be a bit much and could get a little costly and you don't want to have to use more than one color/black cartridge on them (keep in mind, you will be using a lot of ink and paper, so if you don't want to spend $50+ on cartidges and papers just to use them up on this swap, which is very likely, then this swap is probably not for you.) Also, there should be a minimum of at least 50 print-outs, so that everyone receives the same amount of them.

Ideas for things to print for this swap include:

• Stationery
• Envelopes
• Word searches and crossword puzzles
• Scrapbook papers
• Pictures of things that your partner is interested in, which you can gather from their profile.
• Greeting cards
• Photos you have taken
• Coloring book pages (for if your partner has children)
• Interesting news articles or current events that you might want to share...
• Pretty photos off Flickr or saved from image searches you have done
• Stickers
• Magnets
• Iron on transfers
• And anything else that could possibly be printed!

The idea is to have an all out printing frenzy and a whole lotta fun in the process.

You can use photo paper, card stock, plain paper, and various other specialty papers.

Since this is a rather easy swap overall, I will allow newbies, but there are a few things you MUST have to be a newbie in this swap. You must have at least 5 swaps completed, and all of them must be mailed swaps. In other words, not 5 e-mail swaps. Also, you must have all five ratings on all 5 of your completed mailed swaps. Hearts are not needed, but threes and ones will disqualify you.

As for the non-newbies who join, please have a rating of 4.9 or higher, no less. And no recent no sends or ones in the past 6 months. Threes are OK, if you have a good reason for being late (which is usually the reason for getting a three).

I hope this swap goes over well. I know it's rather pricely, but hopefully it will be worth it!!! Lastly, I will be keeping this one Regional to the US.

Have fun printing!!
