Edit 8/06: I changed the color copies requirement to only if you make a collage

Edit 8/06: I added information about the back of the page and paper stock

Ok everyone. Here we go with part one of the journal page swap!!

The size of the page will be 5 x 7 inches, oriented like this:

Leave 1 inch of the left side of the page blank so that it can be bound into a book without any of the artwork needing to be holepunched or wrecked or anything like that. =P Decorate the page with all things mermaidy! Make a scene or a collage or whatever your mind comes up with! The end result of the series of page swaps will be something people are proud to have as a coffee table book! =P Use a sturdy paper like cardstock so it can be bound easily without having to worry about tearing. Make the front of the page your focus, but don't ignore the backside! Put something nice as well! I'll leave it up to you guys to figure out what you would like to do there. =)

The number of partners will be determined once we know how many have signed up for this swap, so please only sign up if you know you are willing to send out to several different people. You will be sending to everyone that signs up for this swap. One page per partner. You will have one full month after the signup deadline to send.

If you want to make one page and color copy that to send out to everyone, that's fine, but only if you have made a collage or something that could possibly fall apart over time. But please make sure the copy is of good quality. Copy centers often have pretty nice color copiers.

If you have any comments about this swap and the requirements, please post them below. Since the signup deadline for this swap isn't for a while, we have time to change this until the final signup deadline.
