Description:

I have been wanting to make my own smash journal for some time. I have made one journal but then I traded it, and of course got a great journal from my partner.

But in this swap, I am challenging myself to finally pull out all the stuff I have been trading and saving and make a journal for me to keep.

So in this swap you will sit down and make that Journal as part of your 2014, list of things of accomplish in 2014. Yep this is on my short list.

You wont send your journal. You will keep it, but you will send an email with at least 3 photos or links to photos to your partners. I might use flicker or I might just upload the images right to the email. Write at least one paragraph about your journal. Tell your partners about the items or techniques you used. Is there a theme? Share it all.

This will be a type 3 swap because you do have to make the journal, but you will send the images electronically not by mail.

I have been in electronic swaps before. I know sometimes the emails get lost in the junk folder of the person you are sending the emails to. Please send your emails on time. But please also communicate via pm that you have sent and received. I have seen some nasty and petty poor ratings because an electronic swap was not received, but the other 2 partners got the email. Let us be considerate, but that doesnt mean you have an excuse to email late either.

I am giving you and myself til FEB 1st create and send your images of your journal.

Hey no cheating and sending photos of past journals, make something new. please.

If you have read the whole swap and you understand that you are making a journal to keep and emailing images of this journal, please leave a comment below. I want to make sure all that participate understand.

This is a great idea because I love to journal, but my journals are also my scrapbooks and memories, so I would not want to give them away! I'm keeping this on my watchlist for now, but I have read and understand that I will be sending at least 3 photos via e-mail, not an actualy smash book. :)

I have read and understand I will only email photos of my journal...this one of my favorite type of things to do >journal but really still learning what to place in a Smash journal.....:)

Love the idea!!! Does it have to be a real Smash Book from K&Company or a home made one as well?

AZmom875 12/17/2013 #

You can do either kind of Journal but I want to do more of a JUNK journal. I just want to complete one about me and keep it.

Sending at least 3 photos by e-mail, instead of sending the journal itself, got it! (it's such a great idea..!)

MelinaBea 12/20/2013 #

Does it have to be a whole new journal, or just several new pages?

Angenita 12/20/2013 #

Make a smash journalpage (can be a junk journalpage as well) Take pictures of it. Sent an email to partner with at least 3 pics and a note about the page and/or techniques. Got it. I love this idea, it will be helping me to not only dream about journaling, but actually do it.

AZmom875 12/21/2013 #

MELINABEA, You are required to only send 3 photos minimum. I am hosting this swap so I will challenge myself to make a journal for me. Your question did make me ponder if I would actually get the entire journal complete. So my response is, again You are only required to send 3 photos minimum. You will not be rated down for not sending photos of your entire project. So you can get away with a few pages. Make sure you write about your pages.

I understand that this is an electronic swap.

I know this is an electronic swap, it was just the encouragement I needed to get started. Thank you and I hope you do another one in Feb.
