All about the envelope:

Completely decorate/cover a envelope back and front. Think pretty or cool. LOL Please no scrapbook paper/sticker slapping.

MInimum size envie 5x8. Give or take a bit. (which I used a 8.5x11 paper)

All Handmade:

Your swap says "nicely made".

For this swap we'll send 5 items that are cool, mixed media, collage, altered, upcycled, clever, recycled into something useable. LOL Big difference from nicely made.This isnt for 'nicely made' per se. LOL

These items are meant for junk journals.

I stress some sort of base layer on each piece bc I just think it adds interest PLUS its fun to see paints, colours, etc that the other person has/uses.

We will simply send 5 pieces of ephemera that have some sort of a base layer, colour, stamping, stenciling. etc.

Flops count. LOL For example I made some cool washi tape but it wont release from the paper. But its pretty and still usable. LOL

Copies count: I have a 12x12 sheet of cool collage paper I made. I make copies from the original. Limit one copy.

We'll wont send more than one category each to ensure a fun variety. Maybe a tag, book pages with a base layer, or mop up book pages, fails & flops, LOL, sheet music with a layer on it.

For black and white ephemera i.e sheet music, colouring pages, book pages add some colour, stencil, etc on those.

***No newspaper, magazines, scrap book paper, dies or cuts out, stickers.

***exception snippets/clusters using scrapbook paper.

Put all 5 items into your decorated envelope.
