Description:

We will make our partner a playing card journal book using at least 10 playing cards. Don't just send plain old cards with holes in them. Cover the cards with paper and add things to it and make it something you'd love to receive.

Out of the 10 pages, 3 pages must be something from your partner's like/love list either on their profile or in the comment section below (that is the first area you should check!!). Otherwise the rest of the pages are sender's choice.

You must have at least 50 type 3 swaps under your belt, must live in the USA (due to postage), no 1s or 3s in the last year. I do check profiles. I do not angel so this is why my requirements are strict.

You can put the cards together by string, ribbons, book binder rings or any other object that will keep the pages together.

You decorate and add what you want to put into the journal....this is more like an art journal than writing journal.

What you put on each page is up to the creator, google art journals and such but just make it on playing cards.

You don't have to decorate the backsides of the playing cards (unless you want to), just the number/suit fronts.

As I said, this is sender's choice but make sure you look at your partner's profile page to not send something she dislikes.
