Discussion and Gallery thread Details of swap:In the style of all ongoing swaps, I thought it was about time we launched an ongoing inchie swap. I’ve chosen to do it at this time of year when many are snowed under with Christmas crafting or socialising and need just a small swap to slot into their busy schedule.
For anyone who is not sure what and inchie is or how to go about making one, here is a great post on the papercraft forums by phizzychick (who makes amazing inchies!)
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=303188.0You will need to make a list of at least 8 themes for people to choose from. I will put up my list first and will wrap up the swap by making the last claim. Once you claim you will need to craft and send 8 inchies of the chosen theme and send them within 2 weeks of the claim date.
Friends of craftster will be allowed 5 claims, people who have completed one swap or more may make 3 claims and new swappers may only make one claim at a time. Once these claims have been received, you may claim again. You can make as many (or as few) claims as you want throughout the duration of the swap as long as you never go over your allowed amount of outstanding claims. (An outstanding claim is a set of inchies that has not been received; when that set is received your number of outstanding claims goes down leaving you open to claim again.)
Making a claim:When you make a claim please use the following layout in the swap forum:
Send by 29th November 2011
Nilmerg to anothercraftster for underwater theme

Sending and recievingYou MUST message me and the co-organiser (nilmerg, kimchery) when you send or receive. When you message me about a send or receive, Please title the message OIS Sent or OIS received and please copy the first 2 lines of the claim you made ie:
