Hi swappers!

Let's create a 1-signature junk journal for our partners using autumn colors as our inspiration.

Joie de Fi has a tutorial, found HERE highlighting her process of selecting papers, creating pockets and folds and sewing. No need to follow what she does exactly; just use the tutorial for inspiration. One suggestion she makes is to cut your string 3.5x the height of the book; I make it LOTS longer to make the sewing easier and then tighten it up at the end.

Your finished journal should measure no smaller than 5"x7" and have at least 15 pages in the signature. Please leave room or insert cards for journaling.

US only since it will be too thick to mail as a letter and we all know the feeling when the postal clerk says, 'That will be $14.50.'

Autumn is coming -- hooray!

Is it 15 pieces of paper using front and back to equal 30 total pages?

It's 15 FLAT pages before you fold them in 1/2

Do we decorate the pages?

I would decorate some pages lightly, leaving plenty of room for actual journaling. You can also make pockets/tuck spots by folding some of your pages. A simple finishing accent--perhaps a rubber-stamped image, a paper cluster, a scalloped edge, a length of ribbon, etc--makes each page so special.
