Description:

I'm continuing this swap series that HoneyBunny created. The idea and the swap description are hers but we haven't heard from her in a long time and this is a great series of chunkies!

Since we are in the holiday season, I've made the due date a little longer than the other swaps were, just so we don't have some pages due right in the middle of the busiest time of year for most people.

Here is the next 7 Continents Chunky Pages Swap! This one is for North America. Pick a country on the Continent of North America and create a Chunky Page for two partners based on the climate, people, artwork, landmarks, culture, music, food, flags, etc, of that country, the possibilities are endless. So, in total you will make 2 pages; 1 page for each partner. Hopefully, by the time we are finished we will have all sorts of wonderful international pages for our books.

Each one of your pages should be 4.5” across and 4” down with .5” on the left kept empty for binding. Please do not punch holes or use other binding methods as each person may wish to bind them differently.

Decorate and make chunky the front page. Cover the back with some sort of paper but no embellishments and write your name and the country you have chosen to represent on your page. You may also write a little bit about the country if you like. Please use heavy cardstock so these will stand up to all the embellishments you are putting on them.

This is International. Please have a full profile and at least five mailed and rated craft type swaps with a 4.9 rating. NO recent no-sends or flakers. I am hoping to make it fun for everyone; that means everyone keeps their end of the bargain and sends out a thoughtful and timely swap. Please PM me if you have a 4.8 due to an unfair rating and I will consider adding you!

If you think you would want to get started on other Continents for future months, I will be going in this order: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia (I guess I should say Oceania), Europe, North America, and South America. Any questions? Ask away

Yes, having been told that there was no such thing as a stupid question~what's a chunky? I sort of have an idea, but am not really sure. Is there a page I could go view? I am interested in doing this, but I want to be sure of what I am doing!

remember- no such thing as a stupid question............ :)

@BelleSouth Chunky pages are pages where you decorate theme according to the theme or whatnot, but so that it is 3D and not just flat. More embellishments and the like. The idea is that when all of the pages are bound together the book will not close shut.
Here are some examples on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=Chunky+book&m=text If you go to my profile I've got the link to my Flikr where i post my pages too.
