Description:

This swap is fairly simple. Make a 5 inch by 7 inch journal page for your partner and send it out on time. This is 'sender's choice', BUT please do NOT send religious, political, sexual or gory pages.

This is sender's choice, so you can make it entirely an art journal page OR you can leave space for your partner to journal in. It would be nice to ask which your partner prefers, but if you want to get it started on it before partners are assigned, you may do whichever you prefer. Like I said, this is sender's choice.

Draw, paint, color, write, doodle, zentangle, collage, whatever. Just make sure it is 5 inches by 7 inches. Leave the back of the page blank so your partner can glue it into their own journal if they like.

Include a note for your partner with the date, your name, location and the name of the swap. If you would like, add a little bit about the inspiration for your page. I like to glue the note in the journal, too, so make sure the note is not bigger than 5 by 7 and is also written on one side only.

So... one page, one note, one partner. You will have 2 weeks to finish the page once partners are assigned.

Now, for the technical stuff. Due to some problems we had with the last swap, I have to say no "one" or unexplained "three" ratings within the last 6 months. I will ban at my discretion. If you have not sent out the swap for the last round, you will be banned from this round. If you are new and have no ratings at all, feel free to sign up, though.

The day after the "Sign up by" date, I will assign partners. Come back here and look in the yellow box at the top right side of this page. Click on the link that says "See the partners you send to". The name and address of your partner will come up. Send the journal page out on time. When you receive your partner's page, make sure to rate them.

Rate a 5 if you receive a 5 inch by 7 inch page and a note. Rate a 5, even if you don't like it!! You are NOT rating on the quality of the page or on whether or not you like it. Since this is a "senders choice" swap, your partner is not required to read your profile first.

If you have any questions, please pm me.

Tesa, there are many ways to come up with a theme. Find an image you like out of a magazine, and center your page around that. Pick a random page from a book, dictionary, thesaurus or use an online random word generator to pick a word(s) or phrase to start a page with. Pinterest is full of wonderful art journal pages and there are plenty of youtube vids. One of my favorite channels is thefrugalcrafter. Then there are groups out there (facebook, swapbot, yahoo, etc-etc) that are there to inspire you with prompts they provide (vs finding one on your own which can be difficult in itself). Lastly, don't force it, have fun with it! I find my pages really start to evolve once a background has been laid down (which is usually just a smearing of paint).
