Description:

I like making all kinds of books but lately, paper bag journals have been keeping me busy. They are small, fast and inexpensive to make. I participated in the Paper Art Journal swap here on Swap-bot back in May.

The idea for this swap is to make 3 individual paper bag pages and send to 3 partners. Then you will receive 3 different pages in the mail. If this swap is popular, we'll do it again to make our journals fatter and art-ier!

There are several paper bag art journal tutorials to help you get started. You can also look on Flickr and Google for ideas.

You will take your paper bag - I'm talking lunch bag size, 10.5" x 5.25" x 3.25" - folded in half. You will have 4 surfaces to decorate, and you can decorate the flap, or cover it. It is ARTIST'S CHOICE. You do not have to poke holes - that will be up to the receiver. You can choose a theme or do 4 random arty scenes. You can start your journal now by making a page for yourself and a cover if you wish.

These pages are ARTIST's CHOICE but if you want to wait until partners are assigned and make themed pages that s/he will like, that's fine too. You may want to add a section to your profile and list some themes you LOVE - you can also list them below.

This swap will be open to swappers in GOOD standing - I do check profiles. No recent or unexplained 1's or 3's. And this swap is for folks who want to try something new - not just use scrap booking stuff and call it finished.
