Description:

Themes will be posted soon.

This swap is to help us use the blank storebought and handmade Smashbooks that we have accumulated. I know that many of the Smashbook swaps require you to create a layout and then send it to your partner, but I get a little possesive of my own personal work and would like to hang on to it. I am one of those people who think my future grandchildren will one day stumble upon my journals (scrapbooks and Smashbooks) and be be able to better know what kind of person I was by reading them.

Here's the The Scoop...........

*Each round has THREE topics (see BELOW), BUT YOU ONLY CHOOSE TWO FOR YOUR BOOK to interpret as you wish- with art, photos, journaling, or smash in some ephemera or other scraps to tell your story. You will create the TWO layouts in any Smashbook you wish. For those of us who already did Rounds 1-3 just continue in the same book.

*You may get to work immediately on your pages. At least ONE decorated/embellished page per topic is required... though more is fine.

After partners are assigned: You will photograph your 2 layouts and send them in an email as an attachment to your 4 partners.

The Nitty Gritty: Your partners will rate you a 5 for sending it and it would be great if they could comment on what they thought about your layouts/interpretations of the theme. As long as you did something in your book you should get a 5. Hearts may be given as you see fit. All participants much be rated at least a 4.9. No recent 1's or 3's. Please folks, let's be responsible and carry through with what we commit to do. This swap is a Type 3 because there is work involved EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE NOT MAILING YOUR SMASHBOOK TO YOUR Partner.

Round 5

Topic 1:

The Year I was Born

(What were the world events, national, events, who was the president/gov't leader, what was the newest invention or technology, what was the toy of the year, how much did a loaf of bread cost, a gallon of milk, what movie won the Oscar that year? etc..)

Topic 2:

Favorite Photo of Myself

(show the photo, why do you like it, tell when it was taken, who took it, why it was taken, etc)

Topic 3

I Like, I Love, I Want, I Need

(use words, art, photos... magazine cut outs... whatever you want!)

This is similiar to the "Currently" page from Round 4. (topic idea from http://inspirationeverywhere.blogspot.com/2011/06/my-red-smashbook-is-complete.html )

NOW THE TOUGH PART... WHICH 2 OF THOSE 3 TOPICS DO YOU CHOOSE?

@beadqueene created a Flickr group for us to share our Smashbook pages with everyone. The link is: http://www.flickr.com/groups/2157168@N22/
