This is a swap to introduce new people to the Altered Book Envelope Swap group. Here is the description from the group's page: "An altered book is a book, usually hardback with text only pages, that you paint, rip, glue, and alter. This group is for people who don't want to risk losing their book while swapping. Whether it's lost in the post or your partner flakes. Instead in the swaps for this group you will have your own book that you are going to alter yourself that you never send to anyone. What we're going to do instead is send our partners a envelope filled with ephemera based on a theme, and you will have to altered one two-page spread of your book with whatever your partner sent you. You can use your own supplies also, but make sure to use most of the things your partner sent. Send thoughtful, completely filled envelopes, not just a few things. Send things you'd be happy to receive. Items to send: Scrapbook paper, stickers, die cuts, book illustrations, bingo cards, atcs, inchies, zentangles, doodles, cut out sentences or words, embellishments, old photographs, flash cards, stamped images, hand drawn things, etc. Anything that counts as ephemera basically." This swap is a sender's choice packet to one partner. You can send any theme you'd like but it should be around a specific theme - check out previous swaps listed on the group page for just a few theme ideas. For this swap, because it will be new for many, there is a minimum requirement of 10 items in the envelope. Please note any questions in the comments, I will monitor closely. Minimum 4.97 rating. Newbies must have at least 5 Type 3 swaps. And be sure to check out the group page and the link to the Flickr Gallery. We'd love you to join! |
