Since many of us go to 'last post' on threads, I'm reinforcing the info in the OP. Check it for your swapmate.
Now...
Sadie brought up a good topic about considering how we deal with the '3 item rule' when it comes to building our kits. Since we're in the throes of doing that, it might be worth discussing. But let's concentrate on working on our kits--rather than (just) talking about them. OK?
With the recent addition of themes for KIAE, some swappers have chosen to use that to choose the materials for their kits--images & other materials. Long as that route doesn't stall us out, I think it's not a bad way to go.
The pesky '3 item' has given some players pause--myself included & I'm a host!
In point of fact, it's possible for us to create a kit that only contains the required # of stamped images & nothing else.
It's true! Given what we all have in our various stashes of crafty materials, I sincerely doubt any of us (or others) couldn't do a 3 item from just the images combined with extras from our good junque.
Don't sweat! I'm not planning to go 'image only' for Dec.'s swap, but it's worth chatting about how we tackle the '3 item' in my Not Humble Opinion.
