Theme #2: Spring

New to the world of Smash Books, Junk Journals, and/or Art Journals? Maybe you’re not new and are always on the lookout for some new themed items for your pieces of work? Then maybe this is the swap for you!

I am very new to smashing and really want to get a push in the right direction. I designed this swap for that reason…a little help in my smashing quest. I will be hosting the Send Me This Smashing Theme two times a month if there is an interest in it.

For this swap we will send our partner at least 5 items (or more) that has to do with the swap theme. Please do not only send stickers…if you choose to send them, keep in mind that a sheet of stickers is considered to be 1 item. The object is to help your partner acquire stuff for his/her book or journal. It might also be helpful to look at your partners profile for inspiration.

Here are just a few ideas of what you can send:

images, stickers, magazine cutouts, ads, cut out words, articles

tickets, stubs, receipts

wrappers (clean)

small, mostly flat novelty items

handmade items such as envelops, edgings, cricuts, etc.

postcards, atc’s, tags

used or new postage stamps

ribbons, brads, deco tape strips,paperclips

You can send whatever you believe is relative to the theme, but keep in mind to only send something you would like to receive. Do not send things that are damaged, ripped, stained (unintentionally) or have an odor. If you need ideas on what to send: Google smash books. Remember you are not to send pre-made pages.

Since most of the items you will send your partner will be flat, I have opened this up to be international. I will check everyone’s ratings and feedback before assigning partners. No recent 1’s or 3’s. Newbies are welcome…this is the point of the swap. However, please have a well filled out profile (especially with likes and dislikes). Please send me a message if you have any questions.

Let's have fun and start smashing or junking!

Keep an eye out for upcoming themes: #3: movies/films

Can you please clarify the theme for the this swap. It shows "Spring" but also says '#3 movies/films' and I am not sure what that is for? thanks Will watch for now.

siouxx05 03/ 9/2013 #

@TurtleLove the theme after this one, which will be theme 3, is movies/films..

WendySue 03/ 9/2013 #

I am so sorry @TurtleLove for the confusion. I am going to edit that now. This swap is #2: Spring. The first of the series is #1 the color green and the third (which I have not posted yet) will be movies/film.

Thank you @siouxx05 for helping out on that. It is confusing the way I wrote it :) I would love any ideas for upcoming themes!

@WendySue - would love a theme with items from where you live - your Town, City, State, Province or Country - some but not all of these could be freebies from local tourist booth or museum.

WendySue 03/22/2013 #

@DonnaLeeDesigns that is a great idea. There are many things that one can gather from their area and there are things that can be printed out also :) I will put it in after the circus/carnival one (I think it will be #5) :)

Hello, i'm also a 'newbie' and i'd love to be involved with the swap as i've just started a 'smash book' and i'm almost done with my 'wreck this journal' so this could help me out alot and i also have alot of things in which i can help which will hopefully help some of you out!:)

WendySue 03/28/2013 #

Hi,

@Apek30 ..you will be assigned partners within 1 day of the signup deadline. On the left side there will be a link "partners you send to" and that is where you will find your partner and address. There will also be a link to "rate your partner" so after you receive items from your partner, please remember to rate them ")

Hi @Aliens ..glad you joined!

WendySue 03/28/2013 #

I will be going through everyone's profiles and ratings before partners are assigned. If you have any unexplained 1 or 3 ratings...you may be dropped from the swap. I read everything.... I really want this to be fair and fun for everyone! Thanks for joining! ~WendySue
