This is the SEVENTH AND EIGHTH AND FINAL round of an 8 round series swap. The inspiration comes from Natty Malik's In the Sun 2011 art journal free class. http://2011.inthesunclass.com/

I WANT TO THANK THE AMAZING SWAPPERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS SWAP FOR THE SUMMER AND SHARED SO MUCH OF THEIR LIVES WITH US. WE WILL DEFINATELY HAVE TO CONTINUE OUR SMASHBOOK SERIES... LET'S THINK OF A NEW THEME. O.K...... NOW BACK TO THE SWAP.

Because we are combining the last two rounds things will be done a little differently. You will pick 3 TOPICS and create at least a one page layout for each theme. This swap is different from most all swaps on Swap-bot because you get to keep YOUR WORK in YOUR BOOK. You will take a photo of what you create and email the photos to your 4 partners. This is a Type 3 swap because of the amount of actual work involved to create the pages, though you will not be physically mailing anything.

PROMPTS FOR SERIES #7 AND #8: (pick THREE)

*SUMMER WRAP-UP/MEMORIES OF SUMMER

*SOMETHING I DIDN'T GET TO THIS SUMMER THAT I WANT TO DO NEXT SUMMER

*ANIMALS ENJOYING SUMMER (YOUR PETS)

*TOP NEWS STORIES OF THE SUMMER

*BIGGEST SUMMER PURCHASE (EXPENSE)

*1 PHOTO THAT BEST REPRESENTS SUMMER

*LOOKING FORWARD TO FALL

*DESIGN A COVER FOR YOUR BOOK
