Transformed Into a Junk Journal/Smash Book - EDIT

Let's take a slightly different tack on the junk journal/smash book genre. Here's what you need to do:

• Dig through your pile of stuff, hit the garage sales, visit your thrift shops.

• Find a "blank canvas." Look for an unwanted organizer of some type, journal, or blank book of some kind. The only thing you can't use is a photo album that consists only of plastic sleeves. Please be sure that the item you pick will lay flat when opened so that it will be easy for your partner to work with.

• Your selection must have at least 16 pages. EDIT: SINCE I WAS UNCLEAR IN MY ORIGINAL POST AS TO HOW TO COUNT THE PAGES, I HAVE CHANGED THE NUMBER TO 16, BUT THIS MEANS "16 SIDES" OR "8 PAGES, COUNTING FRONT AND BACK AS ONE."

• Now the fun starts. Alter it. Add pockets. Cover up parts that you don't want showing. Embellish it. Please leave plenty of blank space for your partner to smash, junk and journal.

• This creation is sender's choice, but it is always a good idea to look at your partner's profile.

• I'm setting the due date for January 2013 because the holiday season is so busy for most of us.

Swap requirements:

You'll need to have a rating of 4.90 or better and a well filled-out profile so that your partners will have an idea of what you'd like. Newbies are welcome with a completed profile. No recent or unexplained 1s or 3s. No flakers. I will consider those with a lower rating with personal communication before sign-up. Please PM me if you have questions.

This one is limited to the U.S. due to postage costs.

I will angel if needed.
