Butterfly Fat Book

I have been busy recently making fat book pages. I had never even heard of a fat book let alone made one before it was mentioned on the Card Making & Papercraft Forum. Not one to turn down a challenge and with the lure of trying something new I signed up to the first swap with butterflies as the theme. 13 other people signed up which meant I needed to make 14 fat pages.

Fat pages are 4 inch square and are decorated on the front and to a lesser extent the back. The idea is you receive one page from each person in the swap and then bind these into a book.

I struggled with ideas for the first page, it seemed such a strange size to be working on, larger than the ATC's and smaller than the cards I am used to. However, once I started there was no stopping me and I made all my pages over 3 days. They have all been sent off and I am now eagerly waiting for pages to arrive here.

Here are the fat book pages I made for the swap.
