Description:

I have been wanting to try Chunky Books, so I am having a Rainbow Chunkky Book Swap. This will be an ongoing swap which will have a total of eight parts - red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, lavender, purple. So if you want a whole book you will need to join each section of the swap. The first swap will be for the red page.

Okay, you will make one chunky page for one partner. Red is the theme, and should be the predominant color of your page. The size of your pages should be 4" high by 5 " wide. We will be making these pages with a 1" wide margin on the LEFT side for you parnter to use for binding. Your working space will be 4" BY 4". If you don't know how to make a chunky book, you can find lots of samples online. Chunky books should have lots of embellishments. So lots of embellishments on the FRONT of the page. The back of the page does not have embellishments. But you should cover, paint or whatever the back of your page so that it is not just plain white. You can use the back for your name, and other info, or even write your partner a short note. Do a pretty and tasteful page, one you should be proud of and would like to receive. Maybe read your partners profile and gear it toward something which they are interested in, but not necessary. This is all about colors and your interpretation of them.

Chunky pages/books should be made on heavy cardstock, and the page should be glued onto a piece of cardboard backing from something like a cereal box. Then either put another piece of cardstock on the back, or paint it or color it in some way. You want the page to be really sturdy for all the embellishments

Newbies are welcome, and anyone with a 4.3 rating or higher. If you have recent no sends, please email me. We all have lives and ones and threes occasionally happen. I will take into consideration your overall swapbot performance.

Most of all, I want this to be fun and enjoyable for everyone. This will be an international swap, as it shouldn't cost too much to send one page.

I would love to join this swap if the swap deadline was later. I have been dying to try Chunky pages.

Hi! Before I join I would like to know that I understand well. I have made paper bag books, I think that its similar, or dont? What kind of paper do you use for the pages? Or its sender's choice? thanks in advance!

Hi,

Please consider making the deadline longer! Like, the end of May. I would love to sign up for these, but with school and work, doing it that fast would be really difficult. I'll be putting this one on my watchlist!

Hi, all, I have extended the deadline to the middle of may.

I have also added an explanation of how to make the chunky book. If any of you still have questions, just let me know.

Thank you all for your interest in my swap.

I have been looking for chunky page swaps. I made my first chunky pages for a Spring swap and loved it.

cynaemon 04/16/2009 #

Hi, Dory, I have been wanting to try chunky pages too. I am really looking forward to this. If it goes well, I will be doing others. Nathalie

Hi, all, It is great to have so many of you here. Please note, this is an eight part swap, and while you of course do not have to participate in each part, I hope you will. For those of you who plan to, be thinking ahead. You can make your pages anytime. LOL. :) All the best. Nathalie

What other Chunky page themes would you all like? Nathalie
