'm still having RA issues but will continue with this swap monthy as long as I can and there is still interest. This is a repeating Swap miss one there will soon be another one.

Swapping art journals and RRs of art journals is getting expensive with Postage costs going up every where. My answer to this is swap art journal pages monthly.

Post below what size journal page you prefer and if you want it tip in or not etc. Please use sturdy base paper that can be bound into a journal later or used as a tip in page. Any style any media or combination. Please use both sides of the page as you will have lots of time for this one. Make something you would like to receive yourself. All media is welcome however Stickers unless hand made by you are not encouraged.

I will post this swap monthly sometimes with A theme sometimes not. This months Theme is "Artists Choice" Its probably a good idea to check your partners profile to make sure your not making something that may offend them, otherwise have fun and do what feels right.

If you have suggestions for page themes let me know.

Any questions etc... Ask I'm on line most every day sometimes twice. Be sure to include your name and info on the page or include a note so your partner easily knows who to than,

The usual Swap-bot rules apply. Flaking will not be tolerated. If you have a problem let me and your partner know. If your flaked on let me know

I had planned on binding all my pages together into a book once I had a nice collection from all of you. I've been keeping them in a pretty box while I collect them. It works pretty well. I still can look at them or show them off easy enough. I think I will just collect pages until I fill the box as it looks really nice on my book shelf just as it is.

btw I'm collecting 5" x 7" pages.

Lurking. . .if I end up being able to sign up my pages are
5 1/2" wide, and 8 1/2" tall, and will be a tip-in

I'm OK with any size - no smaller than 5 X 7.

I will use whatever size you send, surprise me!

I'm okay with any size, but would prefer nothing smaller than 5x7. And I'm new to art journaling so I was wondering, what does tip-in mean??

tesscalhoun 03/30/2011 #

Anglegirl, "Tip in" generally means both sides, ( both faces) of the page are worked on equally. To use the page you cut out a page from the book, journal your adding it to leaving an inch or so of the cut out page in the book so the " tip in" page can be glued in along this edge and replace the removed page. :)

I hope that made sense.

I'm glad to see this swap is still popular. Don't forget I'm going to close this group in May and start posting "By the Page" swaps in the "Page by Page" group. Please go sign up.

One more thing. If anyone wants to do a 1 to 1 swap with me just ask and I will set it up. :)
