Description:

USA and Canada only please. Good swappers only with no recent no-sends, and new swappers with filled out profiles are welcome.

Here is something a little different and fun! Choose a magazine like Woman's Day, a craft magazine, or a thick catalog that has at least the same amount of pages as a magazine, whatever you want. Then go to town with it! Decorate pages, draw funny faces, make a game on a page, activity pages, cartoon, something to use for crafts, whatever you want. Be creative and the sky is the limit. Just make sure to do a variety of things, not all the same thing, and use every page. It's OK if some pages are quick and easy and other pages are more detailed. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Please no pornography magazines or anything offensive.

What a cool idea! I'm in!

TeaNi 07/ 8/2008 #

any restrictions on how recent the magazine must be?

FischKisser 07/ 9/2008 #

A porn mag would be funny to do!! Like cover up the naughty areas or let your mind think of other things....

craftygirl 07/ 9/2008 #

No restrictions on how recent the magazine must be. I have no quelms about using a porn mag, but I thought someone might. So if your partner doesn't mind or your partner is me, go ahead and use one.

This sounds like such a fun and creative swap! But, please, I definately do NOT want to receive a porn magazine of any kind. But if this is going to be a problem, just let me know, and I'll drop out with no hard feelings.

Swappers must have permission to use porn mags from their partners, therefore PM'ing them first. My intentions of this swap was to just do what you want, just simple fun. When I was a kid my friend and I used to make workbooks out of mags. I thought as you flip page by page you would come up with cool ideas. Maybe doodle on a page, maybe add things to put on a picture of a table like a vase or whatever, maybe on a page add art to a picture, draw things on peoples faces, maybe decorate something on a page that your partner could use in their crafts, maybe a paper doll out of a page with a person on it, etc. Whatever your heart desires. Please ask me if you have any more questions!

No porn for me, either please.

Ayka 07/ 9/2008 #

Porn, no porn, I really don't care. Make art, free yourself and let the rules disappear.

salfra 07/10/2008 #

I'm good with whatever inspires you!

I feel like I won't know what to do, but I just got a new set of markers!! I'm in!

I'm going to have to drop out of this swap. Things are just getting too hectic for me now, with my son's wedding coming up in mid-August, and me doing the reception dinner and decorating, etc. I'm starting to get pretty stressed. I did start my magazine, but unfortunately picked an InStyle magazine which is 500 pages long! Good grief. I have graffitied, painted, drawn, mixed media-ed and collaged about 15 pages so far, but there is no way I can finish. So, I'm going to wish you all, all the best in this really fun swap. Maybe I catch another one in the future when things settle down. And next time, I WON'T pick an InStyle magazine! Ha!

I used to do this as a kid also. I am a little surprised and amused to find that others used to do the same thing! ^^

And as for me, I don't mind any 'risky' magazines, I actually would find it quite interesting to see what somebody would do with a magazine like that so if my swapper buddy would like to, go right ahead! Can't wait to start!

handmade3mailart 07/21/2008 #

I'm excited! I have so many Vogue magazines and fashion catalogs laying around that it will be exciting to donate one to the cause.

I am up for a "risky" or "porno" magazine.

Anyway, send me something cool. I promise to do the same!

does every single page have to be altered? this sounds like such a FUN swap!!!

craftygirl 07/22/2008 #

You don't have to alter every page, as far as decorating and going to town, but try to do at least something on every page. Even if you just make funny faces on one and put a quote on one, etc. Since there's quite a few pages in a mag. you may spend 2 minutes on a page and 10 minutes on another. I hope I'm explaining this OK.

I don't mind if I get a porn or a risque magazine...this sounds fun...I better get to work :):)

craftygirl 08/ 1/2008 #

Just letting everyone know that I will be on vacation from Aug. 3-10, so will not have a computer.

craftygirl 08/18/2008 #

I have moved up the send date to Sept. 17 to give everyone a little more time!

craftygirl 08/18/2008 #

Hi! The response that I got to extending the send out date has been that most people would like more time, so I have extended the date to Sept. 17, but no later. For those that are ready to send by the original date, please feel free to send. Early is always a good thing! Everyone keep in mind that lots of effort has been put into this, so I hope you will all rate according. Everyone has different styles and ideas, and different interpretations of how to graffiti their magazines. Also, some pages may not have as much done to them as other pages. Really it's what inspires us as we look at each page, and some pages are just plain difficult to do much with them. Not every page has to be "art" like I said. Some may want to make instructions on what to do with a particular page. Thank you for joining, swaps are not considered late now until after Sept. 17, and hope everyone has had fun!

You should make another swap using a porn magazine. That way ahead of time people can do this. And anyone who would be offened would not join. Plus have to be 18+ yrs old to join it. I would love to join but I have too many swaps to handle as we go into the busy season at work.
