Description:

This swap is designed to help those who aren't quite sure what to send for a Smash Book/Junk Journal swap to get started. Even though I am targeting new smashers, all are welcome.

For this swap we will send our partner at least five (5) items (each individual piece counts as one item) that can be used in a smash book or junk journal. If you choose to send stickers, you must send at least 10, and they will only count as one item, no matter how many you send. You can consult your partner's profile for ideas, but this is sender's choice in the end.

Here is a list of items that you can send for this project:

  • Small envelopes
  • Small note pad pages
  • Colorful, mostly flat decorative items
  • Postcards
  • New or vintage blank forms of any kind
  • Images (stickers, pictures cut from magazines, etc.)
  • Recipe Cards
  • Any attractive items that can be written on or used to decorate
  • Postage stamps

If you are uncertain how a Smash Book or Junk Journal looks, really anything goes. Below are links to several pages that show Smash Book pages:

Please PM me if you have questions.

How big of an envelope are we filling? Any size requirements?

betty194 12/ 8/2013 #

You include five (5) items (each individual piece counts as one item), I think the size of the envelope is sender´s choice

Would smash book items essentially be the same as ephemera?

mizvicky 12/13/2013 #

Yes it is the same @AliCrafter

@ladyking , you cannot request to have partners from a certain region when the swap is set as international. The SB computer randomly assigns partners and the host has no control over the pairings.
