Description:

As a paper crafter sI am sure we all have some kind of book / journal we use for whatever. Some have Smash books, some have art journals. Others use shop-bought diaries.

This swap is to make pockets for these journals. A pocket can be made in different ways and here is some suggestions:

  • small handmade envelopes made from sturdy paper and/or reinforced enough to withstand frequent handling
  • two sheets of vellum sewn together
  • store-bought small envelopes altered enough to be journal worthy
  • library card sleeves - the kind they use for the check-out card
  • tuck-in matchboxes - the fold-over and tuck into the stapled bit

There are loads of ways to make pockets. Check out pinterest or youtube. Get creative and have fun :)

What to do:

  • Send a minimum of 5 pockets for your partner. Inserts are not mandatory.
  • Pockets must be interesting in some way. Do not just send 5 shop-bought plain envies as the pockets. Respect your partner and be creative.
  • Minimum size per pocket is 2.5x3.5" (Yes, ATC size). I'm not giving a max size. Use your noggin' to determine whether you are sending something that is pocket worthy.
  • Make sure pockets are sturdy for frequent use. Rather err on the side of caution and reinforce when in doubt.

The usual swap fineprint applies:

  • no recent / unexplained 1's or 3's (within 6 months).
  • 4.95+ to participate
  • Do not send unusable / dirty / junk and be fair in rating.
  • Sender's choice.
  • I'll boot where I feel uncomfortable.
  • I'll angel, but flake at your own risk. The wrath will be epic and memorable. Please don't make me fetch the dragons.

Any questions, please ask :)

I know right :) Found the image on Pinterest. Think that's a folded diecut maybe? Very cute indeed.
