Description:

Because I like smash books and squash books, I thought maybe it would be fun to combine the two.

Squash books are collapsed paper scrapbooks that can be filled just like a smash book where you have places to add photos and journalling and maybe some embellishments. They can be made in any squared size, but these have to be at least 3 inch squared or bigger.

So for this swap, you will make one squash smash book for one partner. It can be any theme, but you can send something of your partner's preference for inspiration but it's not required. Only the front cover has to be lightly decorated, but none on the inside. You can use any colored or print (scrapbook) paper but nothing plain white. Add at least 3 pockets and include extras like tags, photos, stickers, magazine clippings, ads, labels, cards, memo sheets, blank forms , die-cuts and etc., and there is no set amount. Just send enough on good judgement. So this is basically a smash book, but in squash book form.

If you don't know what squash books are, there are videos on youtube on how to make them, or you can check google. You have to use at least 3 panels or more in an odd number if you want, your choice. They just close better and correctly using an odd number of panels/sections.

I'm hoping this will be a fun swap and very inexpensive.

I'm not sure I'm reading correctly - I'm a little confused. Are we basically creating a "blank" squash book with lightly decorated cover and including some extras for our partner when we send? Or are we using the extras to decorate the squash book?

Yes Zuzu, the book is blank and we're sending the extras for our partners to use.

Oops that's the other package I sent today.

The correct DC is all of the same but the last four digits are 1226. So it's 03120860000057211226.
