It's a Rainbow Journal - black

Let's make a journal/smashbook with pages the color of the rainbow! For October, we will do black since Hallowe'en is nearly upon us. Instead of doing a traveling book type of swap, we will make 4 pages for our partner each month. Take 2 pieces of art paper, cardstock, or whatever you are using, create a nice page on both sides and you have 4 pages! How simple is that? With that said, it may be simple, but please do your best work. All pages should have squared corners, straight cuts, no JUNK glued on them. These are smashbooks, NOT junk journals. Be sure they are something you would be proud to show your mama! We all want our books to be great when we are done! And make your pages sturdy. No flimsy paper pages, please!

Because our partners wll add photos or journaling, or both, we are going to make these pages 6" x 8". Be sure to sign them somewhere, too. (That's something I still always forget to do!) You can add a quote or saying or some personal writing if you like, but remember, the main idea is for your partner to be able to journal, or smash on them, which means they have to have room on the pages for their own additions. And just because the color is black and it's for October, DOES NOT mean they have to be Hallowe'en themed! Your partner may not celebrate that holiday, so check with them if you want to do a themed set of pages.The same will go for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

These pages will be sender's choice, EXCEPT..... please check your partner's profile to be sure that you DON'T include any of their dislikes. I know they will appreciate it.

This swap will be international, because we have some phenomenal international gals in this group, and I don't want to leave them out. If you make your pages relatively flat, postage won't be too high.

In case you want to get a head start, here is a list of the colors we will be doing: October-black, November-gold, December-silver, January-blue, February-red/pink
