Description:

If there is another swap like this one,please let me know!

I love the idea of passing a journal around and getting a completed book full of other peoples awesome creations,but it is so expensive. :( I have another method that does the same thing,but costs less. I say we decorate a PAGE,send it to our partners and they can then bind the pages they receive in any way they choose.You will have 2 partners.I'll see how this swap goes,maybe I can make it a monthly one. Feel free to leave suggestions(although realize I may not take them,haha! )

The Rules The page must be 5X7 (12.7 X17.8 cm) made of sturdy cardstock,light cardboard(like cereal boxes) or other such material(like watercolor paper)

Leave one inch from the short side so it can be bound into a book later on.

Decorate using any mediums: paints markers collage embellishments stickers drawings. You can write on it if you want,or add a pocket or fold out page.Make what you would like to receive. :)Make sure its dry before sending!

On the back write a short bio or just your name if you prefer.

Must have a rating of 4.9 or higher,those not rated yet are welcome.I will be checking profiles.

Have Fun!

If you need an idea to work around here are a few starters: My Day,Things that make me Happy,Fave quote or song lyric,"I wish" "I believe" "I can", My Pet Monster,Fave cartoon/toy/memory as a kid, an art self portrait. The sky is the limit my little Artsters!

This is called a tip in...

I love this idea, but I cannot do so many partners...

Thanks Dakini55 for the name of this type of swap. :) @sagesparrow - if having 5 partners is too much for most people I will change it to 2

OK, I'll keep an eye on this and if it's 2 I'll join!!!! You can do a series, why the hurry? It would be cool as an ongoing series of good art....I love this idea....

I think having 5 is to many, 2 would be better. Also make it an on going series, each month you could decide a theme for that page.

Ok, the swappers have spoken...2 partners it is! Swap edited :)

This is an awesome idea. I was actually thinking about something similar to this a couple nights ago, so I'm so glad I found this swap! Going to watch till I have a few cleared off my list.

Thank you!!! I'm in!!!

Great idea! I would do this if I have the time... suggestion.. maybe remind ppl NOT to fold their art to get it into an envelope.... nothing worse than trying to make a book of art when some are folded and creased ;)

Happy swapping!

Love the pages I'm receiving, but I think there is some confusion to the side the 1" is to be on. I have one on the short side and I have one on the long side. Please let everyone know which side is the correct side. Thank you.
