Description:

I will be hosting this series of swaps page-by-page as long as people are interested. The intent is to fill a US standard three ring binder so the dimensions are important. International queens are welcome to join, however they will have to find the right size paper until I can come up with a better solution, I'm very sorry.

For this swap you will create one art journal page which is 8.5"x11" for one partner.

Art Journal Page Requirements

December's Theme: Let It Snow

  • The front of the art journal page must be done according to this month's theme. You can add writing or a short journal entry but the main focus should be the artwork you created.
  • The back of the art journal page must be lightly decorated according to this month's theme. It also must include the swap name and your username.
  • The overall dimension of the page must not exceed 8.5"x11".
  • With the page in the portrait orientation (shorter side on bottom) leave at least a one inch border which is free from hard embellishments, staples, fasteners, or anything which will prevent your partner from being able to punch holes or bind the pages together as they wish. The one inch border can be decorated.
  • Feel free to experiment with different techniques. This swap is open to art journal beginners but I expect that you will put your best effort in and make something you would love to receive. There is a lot of space on one of these pages so don't just slap some stickers or a few cutouts to a background, add a border, and call it 'art'. Spend some quality time on your page to coordinate with the month's theme.

Please let me know if there are any questions. If there is interest in doing a size that is standard in other countries please let me know so we can find a host from around there.

I will angel provided you have rated your partner a 1.

Not sure I'm reading this right, does the background need to be painted as opposed to stamped etc?

No requirements as far as any technique or material, you're free to do as you wish. I edited the swap as that part was just leftover from the previous swap. I tried to get all of the references to painting out of my copy/paste but apparently missed one :P Hope it makes better sense now.
