📓 Send a Journal Spread 📫🖊️🌻 March 2023 #1

📓🖊️ Do you love journaling? Reading someone else's journal? (With permission of course ;) ) But a 30 day journal swap is too much work for you right now? This swap is for you! Let's swap just one journal spread!

So I had the idea that it would be so cool to have a journal spread made by someone else to include into my own journal! I will try my best to continue to host these swaps as long as people are enjoying them.

This swap is NOT profile based, because it's about YOU! :) So feel free to start working on your journal page as soon as you sign up, no need to wait to get assigned a partner.

You will have one (1) partner to send one (1) folded 8.5x11 journal page to. You will have a week from swap close to mail by date.

INSTRUCTIONS

♥ You will Need an 8.5"x11" (Letter size) paper (simply any kind of paper will do, standard white printer paper or sketch paper is perfect!) that you will fold in half like a book so that it can be directly pasted into someone else's journal or be made into it's own journal book along with the rest of the spreads made during this swap series! I recommend plain white paper so that the decorating part is more fun! You could also use lined or dotted paper if that's what you have on hand.

Note: this is one (1) paper that is folded to have two (2) sides like a book, you will be writing on and decorating the two inner sides, but not the back (that part can be used to glue the page down). I hope this makes it clear!

♥ Decorate! paint, stamp, glue in textures, pictures, use washi tape, stickers, draw doodles, etc. Be Creative and Have Fun! ~Please put effort into this, not just throwing down a few stickers! Make something you would be proud to have in your own journal!

♥ Write! Journal about your day, answer a couple journal prompts you can easily find online, or write about what's on your mind, stream of consciousness, however you love to journal!

♥ Mail it to your partner! It may need to be folded down to send via flat mail so keep that in mind when decorating. After being pressed and glued into a journal the creases shouldn't linger! (and it just adds character!)

Requirements

Swappers with well filled out profiles and at least ten (10) completed swaps and ratings. Swapper must have at least a 4.98 rating and no unexplained 3s or unresolved 1s within the past 6 months. I will check profiles before assigning the partners and reserve the right to remove those that do not meet the requirements. (Please feel free to message me to explain a recent low rating if you would like to be considered) No flakers!

Remember to include the swap name and your swap-bot username in your swap so your partner can rate you quickly!

Rating Partners

If you receive a journal page that is decorated and written on based on the instructions rate them a 5. If your partner put a lot of effort into the journal page consider giving them a heart ♥ or if they included a few extras. Remember this is creator's choice! Your partner's design or what they wrote about may not be quite your cup of tea, please still give them a fair rating.

☆ I will angel if necessary. Please reach out to me with any issues. Happy swapping!
