ARTJOURNAL PAGE#1

Oh, this sounds wonderful. I'd love to participate but I'll be on holiday right then which would leave me with only very few days to post the pages... :(

what measurements is "A5"???

A5 is half an A4 paper. That will be 148x210 mm or 8.3x11.7 inch. But it doesn't have to be exactly this size. It's just a guide so we will get all aprox. the same size pages.

Are you looking for pages that the partner can then use for journaling? Or finished pages??

Is this for 1 page or 2 pages

FarStarr, the pages should be finished. I would like to add other peoples work to my journal without sending complete journals back and forth (postage!) so I thought it would be nice to just send finished/journaled pages to each other.

Whisperwings, 1 page is fine (that will meet the swap rules) but A5 isn't that large, so when you draw, doodle, stamp a lot you might need 2 pages......or maybe you want to add a photo or a find or something that takes a bit more space.....it's up to the sender.

Do you just decorate the journal entry so the other person can write there journal entry on it or do you write what you did that day etc. like what you would if it was in your own journal ?? caz x

ellieelvis, you write a complete artjournal entry, so your partner just has to glue it in her own artjournal........write as much as you want, decorate with anything you want(just as you do in your own artjournal)......it has to be a finished piece of work that you send

ok :)

Is it ok if i sign up as i am a newbie ? xx

I cant wait to get started this is my first swap-bot swap !! I hope whoever i get will be pleased with what i send !! caroline xx

If I do two pages and work only on ONE side of each page, can the two pages be opposites and facing you together or do you want them, say, on the 'front' side of each. (Each page with one blank and one side decorated) Am I making sense here?

craftsgalore, you mean that the two pages 'belong' together? It's all up to you! Important is that one side of each A5 paper is left blank so you can glue it in an artjournal. Clear as mud?.....LOL

So for those of us from the US, is an 8.5X11 journal page is acceptable?

Oh, and craftsgalore...from your description do you mean making two pages, one a verso (left hand page) and one a recto (right hand page), that would be put into the journal facing each other?

LMM, 8.5x11 is fine! I gave A5 size as a guide.....not to be exactly that size. Your verso/recto idea of two pages sounds great!

Okay, now I'm confused...

A4 is comparable to 8 1/2 by 11 US. A5 is half that size so around 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 US, correct?

I was thinking we were doing the size of half an 8 1/2 by 11.

Yup, clear as mud...:)

Aussie A4 pages are 11 3/4 X 8 1/4 inches so my pages will be 1/2 that .

Enjoyed this swap immensely
