THE SWAP!

This is going to be a fun and creative swap. You will have one partner to create an original squash book for. The theme is: "I Am..."

This book will be all about who you are i.e. a writer, mother, skateboarder etc. Share with your partner your talents and what makes you..YOU!

This swap is for everyone, scrapbookers, ATC makers, art journalers etc. so use your talents to create a FANTASTIC book about you.

==================================================

WHAT IS A SQUASH BOOK?

A book that opens up to reveal journaling, photos, art, a story or whatever you would like. Once decorated you would squash it into a small book, it will open up "accordion style" to reveal your master piece! You can use scrap booking supplies, mixed media, ephemera, etc.

See this TUTORIAL to learn about how to make a Squash Book.

Ooohh, that's so funny! I came across one of these books just the other day. I made it around the time that the kid was 4, so it was full of cute photos like "1st trip to the barber" :)

He was 13 last month....

I need to practice making them before I sign up. Looks like fun.

I just finished a 'test run' and I absolutely love it. I may have to make a copy for myself. And this is a great way to use up scraps of paper for all the inserts and decoration.
