I have become a huge fan of Smashbooks and zines. I have decided to combine the two into one.

Using patterned paper, ephemera, and all sorts of paper products you will create a mini smashbook/zine. Book size must be no larger than 4 1/2 inches x 6 inches and no few than 6 pages front and back. (Please use a variety of different types of paper or patterns)

You will make a cover (using cardstock or something else appropriate) and bind using staples or stitching or tiny rings.

Now... to make it more of a zine you will tell a story inside the pages of the Smashbook. You can use the Smashbook to create a page by page shopping list, or wishlist, share your list of ex-boyfriends and why they are ex's or places you have always wanted to visit with pictures. Include ephemera, collage, photos, sketches, words (handwritten or using a computer).

The point is... YOU ARE TELLING A STORY, NO MATTER HOW BRIEF. This book is NOT for them to tell their story when they receive it... it's for YOU TO TELL THEM YOUR STORY, so when they receive it they can know something about YOU!!!

Minimum Requirements: 4.95 rating and no unexplained 1's or 3's in the last 6 months.
