**New Member Swap** Altered Book

This is a New Member swap. See Forum Post for details. But all are welcome to join!

Alter the cover and some of the inside pages of a blank theme book, inexpensive journal or spiral bound book for your partner.

Book should be at least 4"x6" but not bigger than 7"x9" to keep shipping cost down.

Paint it, color it, collage it. Use tabs, pockets, bookmarks, clips, ribbon, string. Add a closure or not. Draw on some of the pages, leave little notes, add photos, stampings or clip art. Glue in fancy pages, random pages, vintage pages or glue a few pages together. Use your watercolors, markers or pastels.

Make it interesting, themed or random but be sure to leave space for the recipient to personalize it. Mostly, have fun! There are very few rules besides it being something you would like to receive :)
