Description:

Let's put some of that "useless" paper to use. If you enjoy the challenge of putting together a journal from recycled, unexpected items, this swap is for you.

Here are the details:

  • The covers should be at least 6" X 9".
  • Add at least 20-25 pages (front and back are one page).
  • The pages can be varied sizes.
  • Add at least five pockets however you'd like.
  • Bind it however you'd like.
  • Please sign your creation on the inside of the back cover.

This one should be a blank canvas for the recipient, so the only decorating should be a small amount on the cover.

Here are some suggested page ideas:

  • junk mail envelopes
  • book pages
  • graph / grid paper
  • old notebook paper
  • manila envelopes
  • paper sacks
  • any other "repurposed" paper
  • maps

Due to the bulk of this swap, I've made it U.S. only to help with the mailing costs. (I'll do an international one if there is enough interest. Please PM me if you'd like to do an international one.)

I will angel if needed.

Please PM me if you have any questions. This will be a fun way to encourage our paper addictions.
