Wishlist Theme Chunky Pages Swap #3

Yes, you may join even if you missed the first one or second one!!

Another "New to this Craft" Swap!! (Oldies are welcome also!!)

If you have wanted to "try" your hand at a Chunky Page but were afraid too, here is your chance!! This will be a series so as not to get too overwhelmed!!

If you participated in all three, you should have 6 pages at the end of this swap!!

The Swap Info

  • The swap is open to all-so be prepared for the possibility of sending overseas.
  • You will make 2 pages for 1 partner from your partners choice of themes.
  • After signing up for the swap, you will be required to go under the "comments" section here, and post your "Wishlist" of 3 different general themes that you would like to receive (similar to the Wishlist tag game) NOTE on your Wishlist: please use generic themes (i.e. "Birds" as opposed to "New Guinea's bird of paradise")
  • After partners are assigned, you will check the comments section to see which themes your partner is interested in, and make 2 pages for 1 partner based on one of their theme choices. Pages MUST be 4 1/2" x 4" on HEAVY paper (must be able to withstand all the embellishments).
  • You must be willing to accept PM's from your partner in case they have any questions regarding making your pages.

Other Stuff

  • It is very important that you stick to the page size guidelines. The pages should be 4.5 inches across and 4 inches down with 0.5 inches free to the left of the page for binding. Failure to do this will get you a 3 rating. A page that can't be uniformly bound into a book at the end of the series is of no use to your partner.

  • You must have a rating of 4.9 or above with no recent no-sends. Please have 5 completed and rated mail swaps. I reserve the right to ban anyone who I feel might be a problem swapper without giving an explanation as to why you were banned!!

  • My expectation on ratings is a 5 for on time chunky pages that meet the size, page number and other requirements; a 3 for late, too small, or pages not up to page requirements; a 1 for no pages at all!

ANY questions please feel free to pm me!!

  • 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!
  • The pages should be "heavily" embellished with ribbons, buttons, tags, charms, etc..etc..
  • 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! THIS swap requires the book to be 4.5" (across) and 4" (up and down).
  • Also, do NOT forget to leave .5" on the left hand side so that the book can later be bound.
  • Do NOT punch holes, etc. in left hand margin for binding, not everyone binds their books the same way.
  • Please use GOOD glue, as you would hate for your embellishments to fall off!!
  • 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!
  • If you are still un-sure, please ask, or do a flickr or google search. Chunky page info is one site.
