Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Little Book Challenge Swap DUE 4/1

[ChristyB]

I have got a new swap for you all.
DUE IN MY HANDS APRIL 1. ANYTHING ARRIVING AFTER THIS WILL BE RETURNED.

The theme is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

The project 3.5x4.5 little chunky book pages.

You will construct your pages using stuff you are recycling, have received in the mail, or were given to by other artists.
The challenge of this swap is to make a 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 book using ONLY ORINGAL epherema that has been received from other players.......NO PHOTOCOPIES.
This is great to use up PIF envelopes, hostess gifts received etc.
The only thing that you can use of your own is glue, brads, staples, colored pencils, sharpies, chalks, paint, stitching etc.

Ephemera can include greeting cards, maps, postage stamps, paper scraps, book pages, handwritten messages, bingo cards, envelopes, clipart, stamped images, fiber, ribbon, tickets, anything that was sent to you from other artists. Recycle, pull that label off your bottle, save that candy wrapper, open that junk mail.

You may make either 4 or 8 pages.
Use a sturdy base 3.5 x 4.5 inches. 1/2 inch along side for binding. Decorate both front and back. Make sure to sign your work someplace in it.
If you add chunk only add to the right hand side of the page so the book can be bound.

You will be binding your own books when you get your pages back

Summary

[troublesmom]

Christy do they all have to be the same?

[ChristyB]

Christy do they all have to be the same?

nope
seeing as you are mostly using up things that would probably be difficult.
All pages/sides may be different.

[scrappin nurse]

I'll join! This will give me the opportunity to use some of the great things I got in my PIF envies!

[troublesmom]

I'll sign up for 4! Looking forward to it.
