CC: I'll Cut; You Paste #1

Way back when in the old Cut + Paste Group, I hosted a swap by this same name. I was recently asked if I would run them again, so here it is. :-)

This is sort of like a chain letter but with collaged envies instead. First of all, make an envelope from a calendar page, an atlas page or other strong enough source. Then collage it with some cut outs from books, magazines, etc. include some pieces on the back of the envie also.

Inside the envie include at least 15 pieces of collage goodies that you have cut out from magazines, books, etc. please cut these out so that your partner doesn't have to trim excess off them, as in ready to use. If you want to include extras for your partner, tuck them into a piece of folder paper or a small envie marked as extras so that they know.

When you receive your envie of collage goodies, you will use them to create a collaged envie with that you will tuck another 15 (at least) pieces of collage goodies into to send out the next round.

So one collaged, handmade envie including at least 15 cut out collage bits to one partner.

Swap graphic is from one of my own sent out in the original swap.

Edited Oct. 11 to add: you may use additional non collage elements on your envie... ie: stamping, inking, some paint, etc. however, the main component must be collage.
