Maybe you think they are great for using as a journal, or a place to make lists or record favorite quotes. You may be wanting to make a really cool scrapbook or use it as an art journal. For what ever reason you have... you are drawn to the practical and unexpected look of Smash books. I have made Smash books/ junk journals since I was a young girl using interesting envelopes, magazine pages, postcards, ticket stubs and notebook paper. Now that I am a grown woman of 37 years... I still create them... but on a much larger scale. </h3><br />
If you would like to do this swap.... here are the guidelines.<br />

<strong>#1-</strong>To join you must sign up at <a href="http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/116674">http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/116674</a> You'll need to have a Swap-bot rating of 4.80 or better and a well filled-out profile so that your partners will have an idea of what you'd like. Newbies are welcome with a completed profile. No recent or unexplained 1s or 3s. No flakers. If you are new to the site, you may join, but you will have a mailing deadline of a week earlier that those who have participated in Swap-bot swaps before. I will contact you individually about that.<br />

<strong>#2-</strong>In the comment section either on here or on Swap-bot you need to let me know what theme book you want to assemble and a specific size... so that if we want to cut or design a complete layout... we will know the size of your book. I will compile a list by the last sign up day so that you may begin to gather items personalized to your partners interests/taste. Some different theme's are: Poetry, Vacation, Beach, Love, Kids, Pastels, Neutrals, Recipes?Food Vintage, or if you don't want a theme just say Open theme.<br />

<strong>#3-</strong> On the sent by date (a week earlier for newbies) you will send your 4 different partners each an envelope containing at least 4 pieces of ephemera (see suggestions and pictures far below). <em>I would encourage any of you to go the extra mile and create <span style="background-color: white;">ONE <u>completed page</u></span> for your <span style="background-color: white;">partner such as the pocket page below or the cute cooking page above..... There are a lot of different ways to do one complete page. </span></em><br />
