Description:

You must use only one piece of 12x12 paper to create your mini book. Your mini book must have design elements on both back and front, and at least one of the sides must have some sort of pattern. Use your imagination to stamp, ink, chalk and use lace,fabric, paper pieces, ribbons etc to embellish and create a unique mini book for your partner. Make sure to use something to close it up such as ribbon, twine etc.

Youtube has some amazing ideas on how to make and style your mini book, if you have never used one 12 x 12 piece of paper to make one check it out-- it is a huge creative source for mini books (and may other things too!)

Thanks to heidiling and her swap of "creative christmas mini book from one 12x12" for the inspiration. For all our international friends check out her swap!

Is that back and front of each page or front and back covers? And obe of the sides? Sorry not sure what you mean.

I'm watching this swap. Waiting for slewis234 to get answer to above questions. I don't understand the description either. Went to You Tube and watched vids on making mini books, it looks like fun.

I have made a couple before. :) With one of them, there are pockets all over too that tags can be slid into! :D

i just finished making one of these for another swap sherreeg and plushiecat and it was so much fun. we actually made it like a "round robin" where we had two people work on the book and then send it to the the 3rd person who will keep the finished book.....it was a lot of fun. sorry for the typo in my above question, i've had problems with my computer typing in to a different spot when i'm typing...it has a mind of it's own! anyway, hope we get some answers...enjoy your crafting.

Is there a rating requirement for this swap? There's someone in here with a 4.1...which is very low. Watching for now.

Not sure why this is a "bath and body" swap. I'll assume that was a finger slip,,,, @user2637 how did you check the list of participants? I can only do that when I am host!

HeideC 12/10/2013 #

@Lady once you join the swap you can see the list of participants. (You can always drop the swap if you do not wish to participate)

And this person with the low rating has 14 1's and 5 3's. I think that I will go back to watching too. Don't want to get flaked on......

They are also called Meander Books when you are looking for tutorials

slewis234 12/16/2013 #

I guess none of my questions above were worth answering? or perhaps you forgot.....

user2637 12/18/2013 #

The swapper with the 4.1 rating was let in...despite having a late swap on her dash...and not logging in since Dec 10th. :(

Ugh is right. My partner is partially suspended...

Mini books can be may styles, there is no right or wrong way. I have seen mini books with three to five pages. You can decide the style and details.

if anyone does not receive a mini- book please let me know and I can get one out to you! Thank you for joining!
