It's that time again.:eek:

Who wants to join in this months FLAP swop?
FLAP means Fat Little Art Page
For new members it is a piece of 4" x 4" card that is decorated on both sides, the front is usually slightly more decorative than a plainer back.
On the front you leave 1/2" free on the left hand side, and on the back 1/2" free on the right hand side. This is so the recipient can make all the FLAPs they recieve into a little book. It is your own interpritation of the theme.

Here are a few examples:-

This months theme is the beach/ seaside.

If you would like to join, then add your name below, you are only joining for this month no longer, it is a bi-monthly swop and I make a new thread and theme then.
Many thanks
and happy FLAPping!!:)

I am maybe probably going to completely regret this cos July's a fairly busy month for me card-wise, but please can I play? I've been meaning to have a go at this for a while & as I've finally made my mind up to do it, I don't want to wait another 2 months LOL

I've never heard of FLAPS before but they look really good and I like the idea of making them into a book. Does anyone have any pictures of books they have made? so I can get the idea.
Thank you

I'd like to have a go please.

I will have to dig out the pages I have swapped and use my bind it all to make the pages into a book. Incidentally, the pages also fit into a bid it all box I have made, picture below:

Just one question - is a FLAP really only 4" x 4" because I've just cut a piece of card that size and it doesn't seem very big. I suppose it's hard to get the perspective when I saw the pics you posted of the other ones but I thought they looked bigger.

Marzipan

yep only 4x4 mrs D
