Description:

I love doing altered mini composition books and this will be all that much better because we will be using our TH goodies to do it!

This swap is for ONE altered mini composition notebook. The requirement is that you must use at least TWO different types of Tim Holtz products (for example: distress inks and stamps, but not just two different colors of distress inks- distress inks, no matter how many colors you use, counts as one TH product). Alter your composition notebook in any TH style you'd like! Just have fun with it! Also, it does not have to be flat... it can have dimensional elements on it! Enjoy!

I am EDITING this to add that what you will alter are the front and back covers (you only have to do the outsides of the covers, but you can do the insides also if you'd like). The pages should be left blank for your partner to use however they please!!

If you have any questions at all, please PM me! I promise I will be checking all profiles/ratings of those who sign up to make sure this is a happy and safe swap! THANKS!

Just a question on the size of the "Mini Composition"...could you please just give the dimensions for clarification

Love the idea, and as always the opportunity to alter something is always a plus...

Mini comp books are generally 4.5"x3.25", but a little bigger or a little smaller (not much smaller though) is fine. It should be pretty close to that size though. I recently saw some small ones that were thinner, but longer. I'd never seen them before. They would be fine too (again, just as long as they are mini).

This sounds like an awesome swap! I'm watching for now, because I want to make sure I can find a mini comp book first.

AsAlwaysAngela 03/29/2011 #

If you are in the US and live near a WalMart you should be able to find them in the office supply section. I also get mine at the Dollar Tree sometimes. Office supply stores (Staples, OfficeMax, etc) should also have them!

Are these the ones that are most often black with a hard cover? Like the ones we get when the school supplies list comes out but MINI..... Want to make sure I can get it before I sign up.

I am going to Staples here in Switzerland at the weekend to see if they sell a composition book. I will be really disappointed if I can't join this swap. Fingers crossed.

AsAlwaysAngela 03/30/2011 #

@TurtleLove .. yes, those are exactly the kind. The front cover usually has sort of a "marbled" look. I see I am currently the only signed up now... I do so hope you'll all be able to join!!! These are sooo much fun to make!!

TurtleLove 03/30/2011 #

I will join if I can pick one up. If I find them and can pop one in the mail to Zoe can you consider bumping the date back so she can get in on it?

AsAlwaysAngela 03/30/2011 #

Sure, I would have no problem extending the sign up date... especially if it means not sending to myself! LOL! That would be a really nice thing of you to do!

Tynkerbelle 03/30/2011 #

i am on the watchers list as well...until i can get my hands on a mini :) sounds awesome

TurtleLove 03/31/2011 #

ok I was able to get a couple with similar measurements so I will send her a message and request her address to send her one.

AsAlwaysAngela 04/ 1/2011 #

Awesome!! I'm so glad I'll get to do this with at least one other person. I was kind of shocked to find out not a lot of people had heard of mini comp books or just couldn't find them. I hope those who can find them will join and find it really enjoyable to do!

iGirlZoe 04/ 1/2011 #

TurtleLove has very kindly offered to send me a composition book, so count me in! YAY! What a lovely group this is. :-) x

Tynkerbelle 04/ 2/2011 #

Im in....woohoo

AsAlwaysAngela 04/ 2/2011 #

Awesome! This is turning out well after all! Can't wait to swap with you all!

iGirlZoe 04/ 5/2011 #

Tynkerbelle was also kind enough to send me a composition book too, so I can join a second swap if you run another in the future. YAY. :-D

paperfairys 04/ 6/2011 #

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH .... This is what i'm talking about ( these are the kinda swaps we need ) keep em coming :D

Lishmo 04/ 8/2011 #

I thought about joining, but, you are all so good at making your Tim Holtz-y swaps, I feel a bit intimidated! Plus I've never altered a book. I think I will watch and learn, and cheer ya'll on. Have fun guys- can't wait to see your pictures! :)

TurtleLove 04/ 9/2011 #

I can't speak for everyone BUT Lishmo, I have seen your work in your Flickr album AND I have received a swap from you that absolutely knocked my socks off! It would be our loss for you to sit back and watch, instead of participating. Just my humble opinion though.

Tynkerbelle 04/ 9/2011 #

I agree with @TurtleLove it would be a shame for @Lishmo to sit out...we all inspire each other...no, only this way...no, wrong way...that is what makes this group awesome.....just my thoughts :)

AsAlwaysAngela 04/10/2011 #

I already PM'd her after seeing her comment and looking at her work encouraging her to join. She is very talented!

iGirlZoe 04/11/2011 #

I agree, @Lishmo should definitely join the swap. This is my first Altered Mini Comp Book too. :-)
