Swap #18=> Simon Says!!

Hello everyone,

Welcome to a brand new swap.. This month we have a surprise up for you..We will be going back to the our childhood days and play the SimonSays game with a twist..

This is how it will go... What we will be swapping is CARDS but what kind you will get to know only after registrations close...

How this will work..
  • Sign up only if you can commit...
  • Watch our blog for topics. Every 3rd day beginning from 8th Sept, we will post a new topic, theme, color swatch etc...and you have to create a card based on that in the next 3 days and send us the picture as soon as you complete it. There will be 5 themes, so you will be creating 5 cards only. One for each topic or as we say, One for each Simon Says!
  • You can opt to send us all pictures together in the end, but we will want them on 25th Sept. Not one day later. So preferably send us as soon as you do it. 
  • The dates on which the topics will be announced are as follows, 8th Sept, 11th Sept, 14th Sept, 17th and 20th....and we will expect all cards to be done by the 25th September!!
The rules are the same..

1) Kindly put your name in the link tool below, if you want to join the swap..

2) The registrations would be open till the 7th of Sept.

3) Do not join if you cannot complete. From this time onward if you back out from a swap you are automatically barred from the next one.

4) THIS IS A SECRET SWAP. WE USE FACEBOOK TO COMMUNICATE TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT WE WANT SINCE IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEND MAILS TO ALL.
 KINDLY DO NOT REPLY TO US THERE. IT KILLS THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF A SECRET SWAP. DO NOT REPLY TO ANY FACEBOOK COMMUNICATIONS WE GIVE UNLESS EXPLICITLY ASKED TO REPLY.

6) Please pack your swap well. Pay homage to your hard work.

7) Do not share pictures till we reveal them on the swap central blog..

8) For any queries feel free to email us at swap.central.india@gmail.com
