Just wondering if there was enough interest out there to give this a go?
Here's a brief description of how a circle journal would work:
Basically, this is where everyone in the 'circle' does a page for everyone elses albums over a period of (theoretically) a number of months, and then at the end, everyone has a completed album with memories of a designated theme ( In this case, Disney of course) from their circle of friends.
I've done this in a face to face situation with a small group and it was very successful and no one got burned and the album is one that I treasure.
I think the keys to a good circle are:
a) small group of no more than 8 people.
b) small LO size so that it doesn't become a major production or a huge expense... a 6 x 6 page is cheap to produce and post - eliminating the cost of the huge (heavy) albums.
c)rather than everyone having a separate theme for their albums - designate one theme for the entire circle to scrap eg: Disney character photos, and repeat that page for each person so that once you have come up with your design, its quick and easy to do, in fact, this method can see the circle journal completed in just a few months rather than some of the horror stories I've heard of it taking years.
d) And here is the big one.... by sending just a little 6 x 6 page to each person, the postage costs are minimal and your album is not bounced around the country via Aust. Post, you just assemble it as each page arrives.
We have members all over Australia and it'd be wonderful to share this Disney passion in another media. There are some horror stories out there but most relate to the sending on of entire albums, which we would not be doing.
Because these circles take some time to complete ( cos life can get in the way of scrapping - I know, that sucks) I think this would be better run as a separate project to the monthly scrap challenges.
Ok,.... so.... any questions?
who's game?

I know that we have more than enough members who scrap to make this easy to accomplish.
