Description:

I have been looking at some beautiful chunky book online. This swap is for one chunky book in a winter theme. The front and back covers must be made from heavy cardboard or chipboard, any shape. Go overboard on the cover decorations! ~~See sites below or do a Google search.~~ It must have 6 decorated pages inside. Be sure to use a heavy paper or cardstock for the inside pages. Size is 4-inches x 4-inches OR 5-inches x 5-inches. It can be held at the side by any means, senders choice (ribbons, rings, spiral, etc.) One album for one partner. These sites have some great ideas:

chunkybook1

chunkybook2

chunkybook3

chunkybook4

chunkybook5

leesiebella

Go all out on this and have fun!

This is not for someone new to scrapping or making mini journals.

EDITED - I added a blog for leesiebella with a chunky book that leaves some spaces for photos or journaling. Your chunky book can have these spaces or it doesn't have to. Sender's choice. BUT if you choose to leave spaces be sure you have gone all out on the decorations to make up for them!!!

No 1s or 3s in the past 2 months. (If you feel you have been unfairly rated, PM me and we can talk. I'm fair!) This is international and we are heading into the holiday seasons for some countries, so PLEASE BE PATIENT with the mail times. When you receive your mini album, thank your partner by rating! It is so rude not to rate when your item arrives!

I looked at the sites. Wow, they are beautiful but I'm wondering if they fall more under the chunky page/book theme. when I first looked at your title I was thinking a different type of mini album. Just a thought.

Those are sooo nice! I could never do something that pretty LOL...

I felt the same as kimpe, is this winter, or winter/christmas?

I'd like winter only, because Santa doesn't visit us, and we have no tree either, we are visited by Sinterklaas a couple of weeks earlier :)

homeandheart, it is just winter. Snow, snowflakes, sledding, snowmen, mittens, hot cocoa, etc. Chunky Book, huh? Maybe I should change the title?

Minnie12, I bet you could make something wonderful!!

Okay, I am totally computer challenged. I changed it to a Chunky Book Album. I also tried to list it under "books", "journals", and "paper crafts" but couldn't get it to stick. Hopefully this won't cause folks to miss out.

i really like this idea!! and just to clarify, what do you mean by 'leave space for a photo'? is it like creating scrapbook pages? because i've been making chunky books like this - http://robinsbluenest.typepad.com/robinsnestblue/chunky-books-and-pages.html

madamegooseberry 09/10/2009 #

Okay, I have rewritten the requirements. Thank you mag for clarifying that a chunky book is not a mini photo album. My brain knew what I wanted I just didn't know how to express it. Thank you, also, for the robinsbluenest page.
