@sleepingrover2010 Is it sender's choice so I could start now or do you want to have it profile based?

This is a sender's choice flip book. So I recommend you read through the swap directions carefully again as I did a little changing in the layout of the directions. Then you can begin to work on the Snail Mail Flip Book. Take your time and do quality work. Remember to go to Pinterest and You Tube to gather ideas as well.

Hi! I'm still pretty new to swap-bot but have seen "project life cards" mentioned a few times. Can you please explain what they are and maybe describe an example?! Thanks so much for your time. Patty

Project Life Cards can be found at Michael's. They have a section in the store where they have all kinds of Project Life supplies. Project Life Cards are of varied size with words on them like "gorgeous," "love," "adore," and "smile." I hope this helps you, Patty.

Do the flip books have to be 6X6? I've made them using the Larger project Life cards.

I looked through some youtube videos and they look so pretty and fun to make!
I am going to watch this one and see if I dare to jump in to this. It is rather intimidating to start out with an 8 pages 6x6 for my first one!!

Thank you for making it international! :)
