Well flockkkkkk me, but can anyone tell/show me what a matchbook looks like? I think Im going to jump on this one but to be honest Im scared!
Do we just pick the section that we are interested in and let our hostess know? Buffy said that when I start I should post alot, you all are going to get sick of me!
Also, do we make exactly the same thing for eveyone in our group or can there be a little variance?
Im going to have 100 qs before I even get started!

Questions are good.

If you are thinking about Group 1 or 2 - you tell me the character you're going to do. A land group, you tell me which land you want. An attraction or restaurant, same thing, you tell me which one you will be doing. You do NOT have to tell me the element choice. Since each subject in the topics are different, even if we have 6 tags it'll be okay because you probably aren't going to use each subject on the same page. It'll get a flockin' crowded.
Let me get my camera ready and I'll go photograph the matchbook I did and one that Buffy did.

Hooray!! A newbie!

Nope, can't help you with the matchbook, but I can with the other questions.

On the signup thread, read through the posts ahead of you to see what is already taken, and then state what you want. Like this:

I'd like spot in the character group. I'll do Marie from the Aristocats.
For the Studios grp, I'd like to do Honey I Shrunk the Kids Playground.


The items are generally all the same. Say I run out of Navy blue brads, but a different color blue works too, this is okay. Or I buy a set of stickers that has Mickey and Minnie -- maybe half will have Mickey and the other half Minnie -- as long as the substitutions are comparable and in theme. If my theme was Mickey, I couldn't submit half the sets with Minnie. I also wouldn't use dimensional stickers on some, but flat ones on the others.

Does this help?

Now, you have more answers than you need!

Thanks! I didn't even think to tell some one HOW to sign up.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Here are some matchbooks. Buffy's is the more elaborate one, it had lots of embellishing on the inside.

Mine was a bit on the simple side because I made an envelope/pocket for it.

 

[MazdaUK]

Ah, flock me I guess I'll be watching the openings on this DS(8) is PANTING to do another swap so it might just be him signing up

 

[party of 3]

holy flock do i love those matchbooks. how are they made? cricut, sixxiz, what? do tell! please....

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Buffy hand cut hers.
Mine I had a flip over card from Stampin'Up that I used as my base and then hand cut my inserts, stapled them inside and covered the staples with ribbon.

New Technique: Matchbook-style Scrapbook Journaling Boxes

How To Make Mini-books for Scrapbooking
by Rebecca Ludens


On my layout for the PS Scrapbook Page Challenge, I used mini-matchbook journaling boxes to hold five additional, small photos and matching journaling. These mini-books are both fun and easy to make. They can coordinate with any theme of scrapbook page simply by changing the colors of cardstock used to make them. They can hold photos, journaling, or even small memorabilia. Create larger matchbooks following these same directions and you can use them to make a themed mini-scrapbook. Make tiny matchbooks for holiday gift tags.

Click here to see the sample layout and use your browser back button to return to these steps to learn how to make your own matchbook journaling boxes.

Paper used in the sample shown here is from The Paper Loft.

Step 1) Cut a piece of double-sided cardstock into a long, thin rectangle. The paper used in this sample has boxes on it, making it easy to decide where to fold and cut. The width of the sample mini-matchbooks is 1 3/4".



Step 2) Fold up approximately 1/2" of the end of the strip.



Step 3) Decide how tall you want your matchbook to be and fold it again at the point. The sample is 2" tall.



Step 4) Matchbooks have some depth to them. To create the thickness, fold one more time just 1/8" from the last fold and then trim the remain strip so that it will just tuck inside the first fold. See photo below.



Step 5) Trim pieces of coordinating cardstock that will fit inside your matchbook to use for pages. You will want to limit a book this size to 3 or 4 pages so that a staple will be able to make it through the layers.



Step 6) Insert the pages and staple in the center of the bottom fold as shown.



Step 7) The cover should be able to fold down and be tucked into the bottom flap. If needed, trim the cover slightly so that it just tucks in and stays without bowing outward.



Step 8) Add journaling and photos to the inside of the book and attach to your layout.



Step 9) Embellish the cover as desired.



Tip: To place this page in a page protector, you will want to use a craft knife to carefully cut away the protector around the matchbook so that readers can access the inside of the book without removing the page from the protector.
