Hi swappers! Kristy and I are going to alternate hosting these swaps from now on. Thank you Kristy for sharing the hosting of this swap with me! For November, let's create a Sender's Choice themed journal. Please take a look at your partner's profile to make sure you're not adding something they don't like, but otherwise, let your creativity fly! The journal you create should: measure 8.5" tall by 5.5" wide (standard 8.5"x11" paper would work for this--just turn it sideways and fold) have an Sender's Choice themed cover that matches your theme of the journal binding of choice (loads of YouTube tutorials on binding styles) Pamphlet stitch is probably the simplest, but use anything you like for your binding, including hinged have at least 8 UNFOLDED pages (more is fine) This means a stack of 8 entire 8.5"x11" pages, which will double the page count when folded. You may use an assortment of papers for the journal you create--not all of them will have the same measurement; however, the cover should measure approximately 8.5"x 5.5". Please leave plenty of room for journaling. If most of your pages are not suitable for journaling, simply add some extra papers/tucks/etc. inside. Re embellishing pages: your journal should have several embellishments--a little something on nearly every page. That said, your 'little something' might be a bit of washi tape, a stenciled image, a rubber-stamped image, etc. DO add some tuck spots and pockets as well. | |
