Description:

Sorry I was late assigning partners, I had my dates mixed up..thanks for the nudges!

We will be swapping 4.5"x4" Quote Chunky Pages with a Spring/Flower/Garden theme in quote and design think birds, snails, butterflies, flowers, ladybugs, garden gate, wrought iron, birdhouse, daffodils, Iris, Peonies, daylilies, roses etc.

For Example:

"Knowledge is like a garden: if it is not cultivated, it can not be harvested" African Proverb

Please leave the extra half inch to your left side free of embellishments to make it easier to bind.

The back does not have to be as decorated as the front but must include your username and any other information you want to give regarding your page.

Please make your page "chunky"...that is what makes these books special. Use lots of ribbons, fibers, charms, buttons, brads etc..the more the better!

You can be a beginner to making chunky books as I am but you must have experience in scrapbooking or cardmaking to join this swap.

Use a high quality sturdy cardstock, but not chipboard.

Rating: 4.9 No recent ones, if its one that is from someone international that rated too soon, that can be worked out, just let me know.

Partners: 9 You make 10 pages, keep on for yourself. 10 actual originals, no photocopies.

International Since this can be mailed in a fairly small envelope, I think the postage would be reasonable for overseas.

Please do your best work and send something you are proud of, also you must rate your partner in a timely manner.

I reserve the right to ban as I see fit in the best interest of the other swappers, like if at time partners are assigned you have any swaps past due you will be dropped from the swap.

Please contact me with any questions!!

Happy Swapping!

Coming Soon There will be another swap soon in this series..it will be Garden Critters/insects only (butterflies, ladybugs, frogs, fairies, gnomes, dragonflies, etc)...then another one with a Floral theme only. We will end up with 3 sets to bind together.

I think it would be great if you post your saying/quote here that way we don't have alot of duplicates. Would it not be great to get 9 pages with 9 different quotes?!

I plan to use:

"Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come" Chinese Proverb

From my collections of quotes here are some you might like:

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul. And sings the tune without the words. And never stops at all. Emily Dickinson

Poor indeed is the garden in which birds find no homes. Abram L Urban

The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp. John Berry

How helpless we are, like netted birds, when caught by desire! Belva Pain

A cage went out in search of a bird. Franz Kafka

The wind, a sightless laborer, whistles at his task. William Wordsworth

Nature and wisdom never are at strife. Plutarch

Come forth into the light of things. Let Nature be your teacher. William Wordsworth

Are we supposed to use the same quote for every page? It's possible that I will make them all the same or nearly so, but usually every page is different.

tangledthreads 03/19/2008 #

No, not every page or quote has to be the same. All my ten will be the same as its just easier for me to come up with one design then crank them out!

RowanWillow 04/10/2008 #

RowanWillow..sorry I missed your question, some people, punch holes and bind with ribbon, others have bound at a place like Office Max or Staples (Office Supply place) and others use the binder rings.

I am thinking I am going to have this one bound by somewhere like Office Max, as I want it to be bound nicely, where it s easy to turn pages etc. I am sure this is going to be an awesome book with all the sets!!

Hey, please add all your pics to the Flickr group for our pages...can you believe I forgot to take a pic of the pages I sent..then only made nine so still have to make the 10th for myself...lol

xoxo

RowanWillow 04/21/2008 #

Thank you for the advice, I think I will use my rings and add lots of ribbons...Too cute.

I also wanted to see if there is anyway to resize the images I uploaded to the swaps slideshow, I posted them without checking the size and they are HugE!

I am looking forward to making more pages for the other swaps...toodles :0)
