Description:

In this swap you will make three mini books for your partner to incorporate into their altered book/art journal. It's senders choice but if you check your partner's profile and let that drive your creation of at least one of the books, that would be spectacular! ;)

Make sure they are pretty small, not only to keep postage down but also to make it possible for your partner to slip them into an already working journal. You can make pockets to slide the mini books in or create other ways of incorporating them into a larger journal...or let your partner figure out how they want to work the books into their journal. These books should be small enough to fit three into a reasonably sized envelope and not have outrageous postage requirements.

The type of book is entirely up to you, however I am challenging everyone to make them by up-cycling something you already have and work on different techniques to make them interesting for your partner. :) Some ideas are: any paper scraps, toilet paper rolls, gum boxes, playing cards, hotel key cards and sleeves, cereal boxes/packaging/cardboard, greeting cards, recycling, junk-mail, envelopes, magazine pages or newspaper.

Please add any of your favorite links in the comments. This is a nice opportunity for us to share techniques we like or that we are just curious about. It might be nice to share how mini books can be incorporated into journals/altered books.

I will look over profiles and make sure that there is no funkiness, low ratings, recent no sends before I hit the assign partners button. This is a group swap so we should all be able to feel safe with each other at this point. Yes? ;)

I will angel this swap if something comes up and someone cannot follow through.

Most of all socialize, share ideas and have a ton of fun!! :) <3

Shannon, we are making these for our partner to art on correct?

Yes! The idea is that they can add them into an altered book it journal. :)

Do we prepare the pages but leave them for the receiver to add a focal point or do we decorate the pages to make the book complete?

You can do it either way. I usually just leave them blank. :)
