INT'L~New to Chunky Pages~Wishlist Theme Swap #2

1. Please do not make your card just on flimsy cardstock, it needs to have a "thicker base". I've been using "re-cycled" cereal boxes, etc, as a base, then cover it with pattern paper. Make sure the "back page" is covered with paper also!
2. The pages should be "heavily" embellished with ribbons, buttons, tags, charms, etc..etc..
3. The pages should be embellished to the extent that (when bound) the book does not close. If it does, than it isn't "chunky" enough!
4. THIS swap requires the book to be 4.5" (across) and 4" (up and down).
5. Also, do NOT forget to leave .5" on the left hand side so that the book can later be bound.
6. Do NOT punch holes, etc. in left hand margin for binding, not everyone binds their books the same way.
7. Please use GOOD glue, as you would hate for your embellishments to fall off!!
8. On the back, you will NOT put heavy embellishments for this swap. However, you WILL put your name and information on the the page. Similar to an ATC!
9. If you are still un-sure, please ask, or do a flickr or google search. Chunky page info is one site.

My wishlist choices are:

• Fairy Tales
• Nursery Rhymes
• Vintage

Im so totally supporting this swap. Im not so much a newbie but Dana your my hero so hey. what else could I do?

My wishes for pages...

• Ginger Cat
• Black Cat
• Rabbit Prince (feel free to interprit this any way you want I love to see what people come up with for that one).

Ooo, I missedthe first one, so yay for an ongoing series!

I hope these aren't too specific-

Vintage Halloween Black cats Day of the Dead/or Sugar Skulls

if none of these appeal to you for religious reasons, I'd love some retro.

At the moment my themes are:

• Birds (please only do 1 bird per page, any type of bird is fine.. I already have Owl, Jay, Kestrel..so a different bird from these would be welcomed :))

• Asian/Oriental

• Nursery Rhymes

If none of these appeal to you...let me know and I will pm you different themes...

By the way: I already have Mary Mary, Quite contrary Nursery Rhyme so any other type of Nursery Rhyme would be welcomed!

• Celestial (sun, moon, stars..)

• Fairies/Goddesses

• Sea (beach/shells/mermaids/ocean etc)

This will be my first! Sounds like a lot of fun :) I'd love to have a "chunky" book and love ATC's... so here goes!

Themes I'd Love: *Black Cats and/or Fat Cats (I love the vintage/spooky cats and fat orange & white cats, just like my two boys!!) *Celestial (Sun, Moon, Stars - my name!) *Retro 50's (Especially the kitchen/cooking imagery and pin-up cheesecake girls) *Painters/Artists pages (Painted colors, wheel, pencils, chalk drawings, etc... anything to do with painting and the process and act of would be fun!)

How fun, cant wait to try this...........I love all "altered" type projects..........a quick question though since this will be my first......when completed is the object for your partner to be able to journal or add pics to it...........or is it purely decorative. Thanks in advance for answer.

Themes Id like are: - U.S. Navy - Americana (red, white, blue) I was born July 4th - Shoes (its an addiction) lol - cupcakes - Vintage 50's,60's houswewife theme

I'm sticking to my original list! Vintage Clocks/Time cats

Sound like fun, count me in! Vintage/retro pin-up Owls Whimsical Have fun with it!

(To: @ThePinkPosy no, there shouldn't be any room to be able to add pics or journal to it. When completed -you just add all of your pages together and bind it). Hope that makes sense!

So, does 2 pages mean a front and a back, or 2 fronts and 2 backs, or 2 fronts with your personal information on the back of each?

Oooooh! I was in the last one and had fun making mine. My themes:
mermaid
Coraline (from the movie)
oriental

I'm so nervous!!!

My Wishlist themes are as follows, in order of preference, but I'd be happy with any of them!

1. fish
2. birds
3. flowers (my favorite is daisies)

Heidi, could you tell me since you were in the last one- does 2 pages mean a front and back, 2 fronts and 2 backs, or 2 fronts with your personal information on the back of each. Maybe I'll PM the coordinator.

1. Birds
2. Embellished quotes/poetry
3. "A Day in My Life"

If those don't appeal to you, pm me and we'll chat! :)

Paris
Chinese Zodiac (Ram)
Toadstools

vintage children/people Asian fairies/mermaids, but not the cutesy Disney kind...

@magpie55 this is what dBowie said in het fist post:

Make sure the "back page" is covered with paper also! On the back, you will NOT put heavy embellishments for this swap. However, you WILL put your name and information on the the page. Similar to an ATC!

As I read it, you only decorate the front, but make the backside also pretty to look at :-)

Brand new to these, but willing to give them a go - they sound so much fun. My top three choices are:

• Mario (my favourite character is Yoshi, but love them all)

• Seahorses

• Egypt

but if my partner is not inspired, pm me, I could think of more!

My themes:

• Disney
• Celestial (sun, moon, stars, & planets, etc.)
• Vintage

I keep thinking about this swap. I'm so excited! :o)

Can I add a theme? In case my partner wants more of a choice, I thought either frogs or bugs would also be fun! Ooh! Several of mine could even be incorporated into each other if someone were so inspired -- frogs/bugs, flowers/frogs, frogs/fish, bugs/flowers, birds/bugs, flowers/birds....oh, the possibilities. I simply can't wait to see what you come up with, partner! :o)

I have been wanting to do one for these for so long now! I can't wait to get started!

My wishlist themes: • Food • Tim Burton • Animals

Partner feel free to PM me. Thanks dBowie for hosting!

My three wishes are:

1. fairies
2. quotes
3. cats

2 - the forest or the beach... I like all plants, animals, fungi, even the weird and gross ones!

3 - inner&outer space... i.e. planets and galaxies, and/or molecules, atoms, quarks, microscope images, etc. If you wanted to mix it up with geometrical patterns, that's cool too.

...I hope that's enough of a range... if you're not inspired by this, PM me and we'll think of something else :)

Did anyone else miss this swap & want to do a private swap? I had a great time doing the first one.
