Description:

For this swap, you will create a chunky book page in one of your partner's favorite themes. When you sign up, please leave a comment with the following info:

  • Three themes you'd like to receive (your partner will choose one)
  • Which side of the book you'll be binding it on (top, left, etc.)

Chunky pages must be 4" x 4" for this swap and must be on heavy (at least cereal box weight) cardstock or something heavier like chipboard. You can glue multiple pages of regular cardstock together if you'd like to make it heavier. Please leave 1/2 inch on without embellishments on whichever side your partner says they are going to bind it on.

Newbies are welcome, as are all levels of artistic experience and ability. Just do your best work! I will ban people with recent no sends without an explanation.

This swap will be held monthly. The idea is that you post the same themes each month until you get enough swaps for a certain theme to bind them together in a chunky book. Please feel free to keep joining them until you have enough pages for each theme!

Suggestions to improve the swap in coming months are always welcome, especially regarding number of partners, etc.

Sorry, this swap is US only right now due to time constraints. However, if anyone is interested, I'll host an international one every two months. Let me know!

I will be binding on the left. Themes: Vintage fashion; Shabby chic/vintage-type love; Nature field-book. Only wholesome images please (no nudity, lingere, risque images etc.). Thanks!

The 1/2 inch is included in the 4 inches. You can still decorate with paper or whatever in that space, just no bulky embellishments that will interfere with punching holes for binding.

My three themes would be: trees, GREEN, fruitfull
