For this swap, you'll create one ATC-sized mini art journal for one partner. The journal will be a standard ATC size of 2.5" x 3.5", but it's ok if tabs or pocket items stick out a bit past these dimensions. You can use poker-sized playing cards or ATC cards for the cover, your choice.

👉🏼 Here's a video by ShanoukiArt which walks you through making this little journal. You can use any mediums you'd like to decorate the pages and don't have to emboss the cover, but do need to create art on all but the back page; just make sure your inner pages are folded like she did and have the same page count and a pocket or two to add little journal card(s).

The binding is also your choice. You can choose to use a pamphlet stitch binding, follow her method with cord, or other method (no staples). Keeping any embellishments flat will allow you to send regular 1/4" thickness letter rate mail if you send the book in its open state, however, you may need to add a non-machinable postage surcharge if there are brads, beads, or baubles. (Swap image is my own ATC-size mini art journal).

Swappers must have a 4.98+ rating, been rated for 30+ Type 3 swaps, and no recent 1 or 3 ratings.

As a reminder, please take a look at your partner's profile to make sure you're not sending something on their dislike list (i.e. glitter, spiders, clowns, etc.)
