C+P Paper Bag Art Journal - Free Theme

Stephiedee has kindly permitted me to coordinate this swap based on her previous C+P Paper Bag Art Journal - Rainbow.

This time we will do a "free theme" anything goes theme. We will be constructing our journals in the same way as we did on the Rainbow Journal swap using a tutorial by Sacredyoli which can be found here

Once you have cut and folded your paper bags, you will have 4 double-sided pages (8 surfaces) measuring approximately 4½"x5" each. The theme of your artwork is sender's choice; you do however need to incorporate cut and paste collage techniques into the design of your pages. You can also mix it up by adding paint, pen/pencil drawings and other media as well. You will have a month once partners are assigned to complete your journal (and included surprise) - be creative and have fun!

The Rules:

•Use paper lunch bags -- the ones that open flat on the bottom and measure 5⅛" x 3⅛" x 10⅝". You may choose to use different colored bags than the standard kraft paper brown.
•You may choose to bind your journal differently than what the tutorial suggests (hole punching), as long as your method still produces pocket pages. Machine or hand-stitching are great alternative methods for binding here.
•Because of the way these journals are constructed, the pages also double as pockets (in this case there will be 4 pockets). You must include at least one surprise for your partner inside one of the pockets of your journal. The surprise is sender's choice, but it is always nice to take some hints from your partner's profile. Your surprise can be handmade (an ATC, skinny, altered tag, photograph, etc) or store bought (stickers, magnet, crafty supplies, etc). You can include more than one surprise if you wish, but you must include at least one
