Everyone loves to receive a hug on their birthday!  These hugs can come from your fellow Neighbors in the form of birthday cards, ATCs, bracelets, bookmarks, pendants, scrapbook pages... well, anything really, that your Neighbors want to send as a special birthday hug.

First-time participants only: Once you've joined, send a PM to "cs_karen" (PM=Private Message, click on "my name" in the participants list below and choose Messages>Send Private Message) with your birth month and which monthly Club Scrap® traditional paper memberships you receive. If you do not receive a monthly traditional paper membership kit (either CS, CSJR or CST) from CS, PM me your mailing address in place of your membership affiliation.

Every month you'll make whatever you like for the Neighbors that are celebrating a birthday the next month such as a card, bookmark, decorated tag, ATC card, etc. Then mail your goodies to the Clubhouse and I'll see that the birthday Neighbors get their goodies in their next monthly Pizza Box shipment. (If the birthday Neighbor doesn't receive a monthly Pizza Box, their items will be mailed to them during their birthday month.)

To Participate:

* Review the Birthday List below for the names of the Neighbors to receive birthday goodies.
* Make an item for each Neighbor on that list and package or envelope each separately. Please mark the outside of the envelope/package with "TO" (Birthday Neighbor's name) and "FROM" (your name).
* Mail an envelope containing all of the birthday items to Club Scrap so that it is received by the 25th of the current month.

* Post a Comment in this Swap when you mail your package of "hugs" to the Clubhouse.
* Upload pictures of your artwork creations to the Swaps>Birthday Group wing in the Art Galleria, if you wish.
* Link your Galleria submissions to this area in the "Comments" in this Swap, if desired. (Click here to learn how.)

Mail your swap items to: Club Scrap, Inc., Attn: Karen Wyngaard, W6484 Design Drive, Greenville, WI 54942

Rules:

* Make one item for each name in the Birthday Club recipient list below. The list is not finalized until the swap has been closed to new participants.
* Let your imagination and Club Scrap® stash guide you. Items can be: Birthday card, embellished tag, bookmark, postcard, bracelet, pendant, ATC, inchie set, 6x6 scrapbook page, small accordion book, embellished frame, embellished border strip...anything simple and small that comes to mind. Your swap item must be created with at least 50% Club Scrap® materials.
* Each item should be in a sealed envelope or bag with the birthday Neighbor's name clearly written on the packaging.
* Print your Neighbor name and full name as a "From" on the individual items so the Birthday Neighbor knows who sent the love.
* One large envelope containing all of your Birthday Club monthly submissions must be received at the Clubhouse by 11/25/11.

We love to learn more about our birthday month participants. If your birthday is in December, please take a few moments to post a Comment to this swap so that we can get to know you better!
