Inspired by postage stamps green booklet #3

For this swap you'll have 1 partner and make for them one little green (recycled) booklet with things you learned through the postage stamps!

I have been thinking how to include everyone and not set up swap with one person for each country and here is what I came up with:

Select 10 postage stamps from ANY country except your own and your partner's (used is preferred!!!), look up for the story behind the image on the stamp and write it down in your booklet.

Rules for making booklets:

• booklet should be at least 6 " x 4"

• booklet has to be handmade and 100% made of recycled materials (you can use for covers: greeting cards, thin cardboard from cereal boxes, etc. / for pages: old book pages, magazine pages, junk mail, leaflets, etc. / for writing: hand written, hand drawn or clips from magazines or books)

• it's strictly forbidden to use computer to print out images / text!!! No stickers! (unless they are recycled from envelopes and such)

• try to keep story behind each stamp on separate page and don't forget to glue a stamp along with a story!

REQUIREMENTS for participants:

• Have completed at least 10 type 3 swaps and have them rated as well. I will automatically remove from the swap participants who do not qualify.

• Have at least a 4.90 rating with no recent 3s or 1s.

• Make the package sturdy to keep booklet from being damaged during the mailing process.

I'll host this swap each month with different theme so keep an eye on future swaps!

I'm posting this swap early and will leave 20 days to send out your booklets so you have a chance to collect needed stamps to complete it.

If you have any questions, you can send me PM or leave comment here!

Happy learning and happy swapping!
