Those of you who follow us on our [TWITTER] have probably already seen a little sneak peek of this before, but we’re finally ready to announce it properly:
If you & a friend have both signed up for our [SCRAPBOOK PROJECT], then you can team up to fill a whole 30x30cm page together — the way sexuallyfrustratedshark & matsuoka-lin have done in the example shown above!
Let’s call it a Scrapbook Relay… ;)
Here are a couple of simple guidelines to keep in mind:
❤ You & the friend you’ve teamed up with technically don’t need to live in the same country. You can send your submissions in separately if necessary — but you will have to make sure to include a little note explaining who you’d like to be paired up with in that case!
❤ The pages of our scrapbook are 30cm x 30cm. You are free to divide this between yourselves & use 99% of the available room any way you like. We only ask that you leave a little space for the “base” paper of our scrapbook to show through. (As you can see in the example, the navy blue of our base paper is still visible in some places! That is the effect we’re going for — to ensure the scrapbook will retain a unified look overall, despite the many different materials used.)
❤ As you can probably tell from the previous rule: PLEASE DO NOT GLUE ANYTHING DOWN YET! The likelihood of such a large envelope getting damaged or creased in the mail is far too big — and our scrapbook already comes with all the mook-coloured pages we need anyway!
Instead, send us all of the separate pieces you would normally glue down & leave the actual attachment work up to our team. We promise it will be done with the utmost care. (You can even send us a picture of how you’d like the layout of the page to look—we’ll copy it as well as we can!)
We know this makes things a little tricky, but we feel like keeping all of the base paper the same type & thickness will give the finished scrapbook a much nicer — unified — look. As you can see in [THIS NEWS POST] our scrapbook has three different coloured base papers: red, blue & off-white.
When mailing your submission in, you can add a request for us to use one of the available pages in the colour you like most. We will try to match the pages with our received submissions wherever possible! :)
If you really want to glue things down already, you can do so on a 29x29cm piece of paper. However, please make extra certain the page won’t get bent or damaged in the mail! You’ll be sending it in at your own risk…
❤ We understand these rules can be a little confusing, so please don’t hesitate to contact us at feelourhearts@harurin.net, or use the [CONTACT FORM] if you have any questions! ❤
If you can’t find anyone to team up with, please don’t worry — the team will do their best to ensure all pages of the scrapbook look equally nice! :)
That being said, anyone who wishes to help us in that endeavour is free to send in any and all scrapbook materials they wish (along with their submission, or otherwise) — for example, we could always use more stickers and adhesive tape. Small scraps of patterned or printed paper are more than welcome too. The team has a couple of differently sized cherry blossom punches we could use on those!
Remember that you have to have [SIGNED UP] in order to have the address to which you can mail everything!
