EASY swap... Make & send 10 handmade envies to your partner. Five (5) of the envies must be mailable size; the other 5 are sender's choice, as long as they're not all the same size. Please make your envies from different papers, ephemera, etc. and don't use scrap-booking papers. Think vintage book pages, maps, ledger paper, brochures, sturdy magazine pages, neat wrapping paper, etc! A week & a half to sign up; a week to send. Let's see who's active in the group. Usual group swap rules apply; no 1's, 3's or no-sends in the last 2 months. Please PM me with any questions.

Does each envie need to be made of a different paper, or can we repeat papers, say... no more than twice?

Sure, you can use the same paper or style/kind of paper twice. Maybe it would be good if the envies made from the same paper were different sizes? I'm not trying to be difficult; just want everyone to receive a good variety!

Watchers: please re-read swap description as I have edited it a bit :) Thanks!

The most difficult part for me is finding large enough papers for 5 different mailable size envelopes, without using 12" x 12" scrapbook sized papers!

A mailable size can be note card sized too, like 4"x5" or something like that. It doesn't have to be huge. Cute paper shopping bags, brochures that fold up & place mats from diners are also options :)

most of my cute paper is not very sturdy the only other paper that is sturdy is scrapbooking paper can i use my thinner paper?

I think that's fine, as long as the envelope is use-able. You could always line the envelopes if you wanted.
