Postage Stamp Passport Book Swap

Sign up by July 15, mail out by July 31.  

Hosted by Nancy Slaby

Hope you can join the fun! This swap is for a passport book, featuring a different postage stamp (either cancelled or un-cancelled) on each of the pages.

Each player will create 6 double-spread 5.5"H x 7"W (landscape) pages. Each side of the page (left & right) should feature a different international country stamp (think countries you would like to visit) and leave the back of the paper undecorated. Decorate each spread with images & sayings related to the country associated with the featured postage stamp. Use white paper please, no cardstock (printer paper will work).

This is a two-page spread; the pages will be folded in the middle so the passport book will end up being 5.5"H x 3.5"W. Keeping this in mind, you will want to leave a small margin in the middle of each spread. The finished book will contain 6 double-spread pages, blank pages, plus note pages. I will bind the pages into a book with a cardstock cover.

Here is some inspiration found on Pinterest:

Sign up by July 15, mail out by July 31.  If everyone is "on time" I will mail out the finished passports to you around the middle of August.

Hope you can all join.  Thanks!
