Description:

This swap is an idea from the lovely joyceann88, copied with her permission. I have used some of her wording but also made some changes, so read carefully. :)

This one is for everyone who loves SMASH journals. You will be creating tip-ins that your partners can add to their journals.

How To:

Take an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of cardstock and fold it in half to make a 5 1'2" X 8 1/2" "booklet." Now you have four pages which can be bound into a journal with a Bind-it All, rings, sewn binding, etc.

Take the "booklet," which has four pages. Decorate one completely however you'd like, using the theme of CATS

Lightly decorate the other three pages, again using the Cat theme, leaving plenty of space for your partner to add to them. Now mail it to your partner, who can add it to an existing book or incorporate it into one they are just making.

1 booklet for 2 partners

Who may join:

Must have completed and been rated for 10 type 3 swaps

No 1’s

No 3’s due to not following swap directions, swappers with more than 4 threes may join by special request only (pm me)

I’ll be checking profiles for unsent swaps and other ify behavior and will ban as needed.

New to smash books and I can't participate anyway but I am curious if there is a picture of the type of booklets you are talking about making? Links? Thanks! Since seeing this swap I've been googling smash books and they look really fun.

I don't have any pictures, but it would be really helpful. Does anyone have any? I will do some searches.

@yardsailingmama Smash books are great! Everyone should smash. Welcome to swap-bot. :)

What is a smash book ?

YardSailingMama 07/20/2012 #

Thanks, I would appreciate it! I ran out and bought a semi pre-made one by K & Company today because I had a coupon for Michael's. This is just what I've been looking for, for all the bits and pieces like ticket stubs, old keys to long gone places, and random photos that don't have a home but need their story told.

A smash book is a journal that you glue stuff into. There are offical ones, but a lot of people make their own. Here is a great link.

I've just started pinterest, but I am compiling SMASH ideas on a board:

mini booklet

clicky link...I'm not a programmer at all. ;-)

Thankyou CFlowers. For this swap you are actually only required to fold a sheet in paper in half once (although the booklet in the video is very nice too!!!).

Since there doesn't seem to be anything on the web, and we are all visual people I will try to take pictures and upload what was made for me in a previous swap. It is very simple :)

Oops...your description is clear. I shouldn't be online when I'm sleepy. :-)

Sorry I haven't been able to get pictures up. I hope some of you will still join :)

Thank you to everyone who has signed up. Anyone concerned about the ratings of catladybj she has received special permission to be in the swap. I am willing to angel is she happens to flake, but I do not think that will be an issue.
