Hi swappers! I am taking over hosting this monthly swap from isabellasnow for right now. I hope there's lots of interest. The journal you create should: Measure 5.5" wide by 8.5" tall (standard 8.5"x11" paper would work for this--just turn it sideways and fold) The theme is sender's choice, although it would be nice if you looked at your partner's profile to see what they may like. Binding of choice (loads of YouTube tutorials on binding styles) Pamphlet stitch is probably the simplest, but use anything you like for your binding. 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 5.5"x8.5". 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. Hope to see you in the swap! |
