Description:

If you don't know what a smash book or junk journal is - please Google it first. You can find examples and thorough instruction on YouTube. Now that you know what it is, lets make it and swap it!

Rules:

  1. You have to have a filled out profile, have 4,85 rating and have participated in at least 3 type 3 swaps. Please no, unexplained 3's and 1's. I will be checking. I really want everyone to enjoy this swap. No flaking.

  2. Size - minimum 5 by 7 inches, or larger if you wish. It needs to have at least 50 pages (that is to say 50 pieces of paper), including smaller sized pages.

  3. Binding - you can spiral/wire bind it or if you you don't have a machine you can use binder rings, but at least 2 please, so it keeps a form of a journal, not flashcards.

  4. Please create pages that your recipient will be able to write on (i.e. no candy wrappers, chip bags and other junk), please don't put too much junk in it. You can by all means use ephemera, found papers and so on, I just want to ensure it will be used and loved too.

  5. If you want to theme it for summer, or travel or anything else - fine, but you don't have to. Please do not create a Christmas themed book, I think your recipient will have the urge to use it sooner than next winter.

  6. Please create a piece that you would be happy to receive yourself. Put your heart in it and aim for a star.

Oh I would love to join this swap! Do you think you could host one for folks with a little lower rating than 5.0? Maybe make it so the participants can send before deadline or something?

I would loooove to join! This is exactly what I was looking for when I joined, I just joined unfortunately so not eligible, maybe next time.. I had so much fun making these for all my girlfriends and relatives for Christmas this year!

Hi, Ashley! If this one goes well I will be repeating it and hopefully you can join then.

I am gathering supplies and luckily I have a machine to do the spiral binding at school. One of those things we teachers seem to just have to have.... Hope more of you will sign up. My mom gave me the K&G Smash Book so I have a little something to inspire to.

Is that a total of 50 pages (50 different pieces of paper) which would leave about 100 pages to decorate or is it more like 25 and then decorate front and back to make 50?
