Description:

I will not be making a theme for this swap. You will buy a student composition book and alter it for your partner. This is a senders choice swap, but it would be extra special if you look at your partners profile to see what they like.

When altering your composition books you must use at least 3 mediums and layering techniques. You may draw, stamp, use ribbons, paint, embellish. Do not just cover with paper and slap a few stickers on it and call it done. Really put some work into this.

~~~~~~My swap rules~~~~~~

No 1's or 3's in the past 6 months

Well filled out profiles

Newbies that haven't been rated yet are welcomed

I do check profiles and if you sound iffy I will ban

Rate the swaps as by the rules by swapbot and not your personal likes or dislikes of the person or the swap. If it meets swap guidelines then rate a 5. If it was extra special you may want to give a heart. If it is late then a 3 whether you were notified or not. It is up to your descretion. 1's are for the flakers.

If you flake on my swaps you will not be allowed in anymore of my swaps.

If you do not meet my swap rules I will notify your with a PM. If you do not want to correct the problem so that your swap partner can provide you a nice swap then I will ban you.

I angel all my swaps.

If you have any problems or questions please PM me.

I can not control who smokes or has pets. If you have a problem with that then please do not join my swaps.

What size composition books are we to alter? There are at least 3 sizes that I know of and I want to make sure I use the right one :). Thanks for putting this swap together, great idea.

The size is the regular student composition book that you can buy at Walmart and they also sell a comprable one at the dollar stores. I am using the one from the dollar store and the size is 91/2" long and 71/2" wide. I like them more because the covers are soft and bendable. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for asking!!

What do you mean by 3 mediums and layering techniques? Sorry, im new to all of this.

Leigh 01/ 3/2012 #

TigerLily13, it means you use papers, ribbons, glitter, buttons, etc. Don't just cover the covers with paper and call it done. Add some interesting things to it. Stamp an image on top of the papers or add some vintage book papers. Stuff like that. :)

Leigh 01/ 3/2012 #

tessalou....is it only the covers that you expect altered? This isn't like a "junque" journal where you crumple all the inner pages and ink them, right?

HannahsMommy07 01/ 5/2012 #

A JUNK JOURNAL is not just crumpled pages ... it can be pages made from recycled material as opposed to everyday paper:>

I'm going to check with my partner if they want their pages somewhat decorated ... I prefer mine to have some pages decorated, but not a must.

HOPE WE GET PARTNERS SOON .. I AM EXCITED:>

Ohh I thought it was just the covers we were to work on. But if my partner wants me to do something on some of the pages too that's ok too!

I bought 4 items from the dollar store and made an absolutely gorgeous book. I love it so much I don't want to give it away.

Great swap idea.
