Magazine Envie Swap

I'm not sure if a swap like this has been created before but I'd really love to host one ever since I got the hand of making envies out of magazine pages. There was a time when I spent almost the whole day doing all sorts of sizes of envies from magazine pages.

Anyway, I wanna share it so I thought of a swap! I'm sure some of you have already done DIY envies, so this ain't so hard but if you need tutorials or instructions, I found some blogs that teaches ya. Here they are:

1. http://www.ohsoprettythediaries.com/2012/08/the-diy-magazine-envelopes.html

2. http://blog.ecoetsy.com/2013/02/diy-envelope-from-recycled-magazine/html

If you need envelope patterns to base your outline here are some I found on the web too:

So here are the rules:

• 1 partner

• enevelopes should be made in the size of at least 3-1/2 inches high x 5 inches long (or the regualr envelope size)

• magazine pages must be something interesting and something that you would like to get so visiting your partner's profile is a suggestion and might just get you a heart!

• write a one page letter about anything (yourself, your day, a story, etc. - this could also get you a new penpal!)

• the DIY magazine envie should be the envelope that you use in sending to your partner in the mail, meaning this will be the envie you use in containing your letter and other stuff

• include at least 2 surprises (e.g. smaller diy envie that you made, notecards, tea, post-it, stationery etc.)

• members need to have at least 4.9 rating to avoid flakers because flakers are no fun!

Ok, so take out those old magazines and start making some envies!
