Description:

I hope to make this an ongoing series with a new Continent every few months. Let’s make a Chunky Book that has a World theme. This month is Africa. Pick a country on the African Continent and create a Chunky Page for two partners based on the climate, people, artwork, landmarks, culture, music, food, flags, etc, of that country, the possibilities are endless. So, in total you will make 2 pages; 1 page for each partner. Hopefully, by the time we are finished we will have all sorts of wonderful international pages for our books.

Each one of your pages should be 4.5” across and 4” down with .5” on the left kept empty for binding. Please do not punch holes or use other binding methods as each person may wish to bind them differently.

Decorate and make chunky the front page. Cover the back with some sort of paper but no embellishments and write your name and the country you have chosen to represent on your page. You may also write a little bit about the country if you like. Please use heavy cardstock so these will stand up to all the embellishments you are putting on them.

This is International. Please have a full profile and at least five mailed and rated craft type swaps with a 4.9 rating. NO recent no-sends or flakers. I am hoping to make it fun for everyone; that means everyone keeps their end of the bargain and sends out a thoughtful and timely swap. Please PM me if you have a 4.8 due to an unfair rating and I will consider adding you!

If you think you would want to get started on other Continents for future months, I will be going in this order: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia (I guess I should say Oceania), Europe, North America, and South America. Obviously, when we get to Antarctica it won’t be based on an individual country but instead think about the climate, native sea life or birds, etc.

Any questions? Ask away.
