OK, time to get creative!

For this swap, you will make an altered book that is the size of an ATC. Since most books are a bit bigger than 3.5 X 2.5 inches, you can simply rip pages out of a book and use them to create your little book. You could have an accordian-fold book that has two ATCs for the covers. Some good ideas for altered book pages can be found at

http://www.art-e-zine.co.uk/alteredbook.html

The only element that MUST be included in your ATC altered book is book pages. The Dollar Tree has big fat books with lots of pages for only $1. This is an excellent chance for all you collage-ers to show off your skills!

You will make two of these neat little altered books, and send one to each of two partners, so you will send two and get two back!

I hope this hasn't been too confusing! Let me know if there are any questions.

Now, for recap, you will make a mini altered book that meets standard ATC requirements. Its closed size must be 2.5 by 3.5 inches, but when open, it can be much bigger. You must use book pages for this project!

Happy swapping!
