Description:

Use lots of creative effort to make a 4 1/2 inch x 4 inch page for the theme.... whimsical house.. The 1/2 inch on the left is left unembellished for binding but should not be left uncoloured, some people punch holes in it others cut it off. You will have 1 partner.

Use any combination of paint, paper, pictures , words, fabric , fibres, ephemera, stitching and embellishments etc. etc. to make your page .
Remember this is to be a 'chunky' page.
A computer printout background with a few stickers is not acceptable for this swap. Printouts and stickers can be used in combination with other elements. The back needs to have some colour or light design with your name and swap information.

Use a sturdy base that will support your work and embellishments, and a glue that will hold everything on.

A piece of bubble wrap over the front will help protect it when posting in an ordinary envie or use a bubble envelope. If you use an ordinary envelope lots of tape is recommended.

We have a flickr page for any swaps within this group so please share your photos with us all.

What is a whimsical house? I tried to look it up at flickr, but there came so many different pictures, I am not sure how it is supposed to look

Whimsical means fanciful, playful. quaint. There is no one type of house. It is any kind of house that is not quite real. Think of something you might see in a fairytale . A gingerbread house is a classic example as it is not something you would see in reality. Let your imagination fly on this one.

I don't have a lot of imagination... and that 4" x 4" is such a tiny space to work in....!!

Go to flickr and look for chunky 4x4 and you will get an idea of what can be done with that space.

Don't forget chunky means more than just a few layers of paper. And with these pages you can have things that hang off the page.

There are some on our own flickr page.

I added some of my older pages so you can see that like all page swaps there is no one way to do them .
