EDIT 4/27--It has been brought to my attention that the quality of our pages is going downhill. Is eveyone getting tired? Do we need to take a break for a month and then start again? Let me know in the comment section how you feel about it. I don't want to lose participants because we have gotten tired or lazy. We all want quality pages to add to our books so they will be super books when we are done. Maybe a little break will get our creative juices flowing again. Let me know.

Here is the next installment of the monthly smashbook page swap. Feel free to join at any time. Instead of doing a traveling book type of swap, we will make 4 pages for each partner each month. Take 4 pieces of cereal box, art paper, cardstock, or whatever you are using, create a smashbook page on both sides and you have 8 pages, 4 for each partner! For May, the theme is "This is the time for....." Complete the phrase with any word you like, but please be considerate. Here are some suggestions:
PLAY
LOVE
SUNSHINE
FAITH
REMEMBRANCE
MEMORIES
FAMILY
COMMUNITY
SERVICE
ORGANIZATION
CREATING
REALITY
FANTASY
MAKE BELIEVE
GROWING UP
BELIEVING
ENDURING

You get the picture. You might want to take a look at you partner's profile to see what they like or don't like. For instance, if they say they don't want anything religious, then you probably don't want to use the word faith. If they talk about their family, then that's probably a good word to use. Etc,. etc., etc. Make the pages sturdy and be sure to sign them somewhere, (That's something I keep forgetting to do!) You can add a quote or saying or some personal writing if you like, but remember, the main idea is for your partner to be able to use them in their own smashbook, which means they have to have room on the pages for their own additions.

Note:You don't have to use the whole phrase on every page. As long as you use it once, you can just use one of the words on the other pages. ie. pg. 1 says PLAY, pgs. 2 and 3 say This is the time for SUNSHINE. pg. 4 says MEMORIES. (This is how I'm doing mine. Pages 2 and 3 will be a two-page spread.)

We will set a general size of 5x7". If you need a different size, leave a comment below for your future partners. Don't add any kind of binding so that your partner can choose how to put them together. These shouldn't cost too much in postage, so I 'm making this international.

Participants should have a rating of 4.5 or better, and newbies with a well-filled-out profile are welcome. Let's have some fun and create some pages to be proud of!

Dang it! I tried to make it a link, but t didn't work. If you just highlight it, you can either copy and paste or if it puts it into your search window, just hit search and it will come right up.
