Does anyone like chunky pages?

I thought it would be fun to build a book of chunky pages. If there is enough interest, I'm happy to host this swap monthly.

The 1st one will be Sender's Choice
1 page for 1 partner

HERE'S THE DETAILS:

  • Pages need to be 5" x 5.5" with the half inch on the left flat for binding by your partner.

  • Start with a thick page. Think, double thick cereal box.

  • Use embellishments that stick up off of your page. If you are not using that type of embellishments, use pop dots or foam squares to make parts of your page raised to give it depth and keep it from just being flat.

  • Let it get good and dry before you package it up or it will warp in transit.

The idea of a chunky (page) book is that when you have all of your pages assembled, it will not close flat.

Now, who wants to play? Is it a swap you would be interested in more than once? Do you want to have themes for future swaps or leave it senders choice? Weigh in with your answers below.

Need ideas? Search Google Images "Chunky page" or "Chunky Book"

ps: DO NOT punch holes. Let everyone do their own depending on how they choose to bind their book.

if we do this monthly it might be nice to have the same theme for at least 5 times in a row to build a bk.

Hi Bonnie! Yes, that would be nice. I would also encourage private swaps to hep build your books ups. The fatter they are the cooler they are :)

I REALLY want to do this! Hope there is progress on the postal strike this weekend! I love chunky!

Toothteri, I will angel for you to hold off your rating until you can send, if necessary. Just remember when rating, we can't send to you, either. I hate for all of the "Northerners" to be stuck. It seems like I send a lot to Canada :)
