Details on N&N FBs:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friendship books must be neat, not just a bunch of pieces of paper strewn together. They cannot be slams, friendship sheets or crams. 

What is a FB?
Here are some links that should help:

What is a N&N FB?  

N&N FB = Nice & Neat Friendship Book

http://friendshipbooks.blogspot.com/2010/12/types-of-friendship-books.html

Guidelines for N&N FB swaps on this blog:

1. There will be NO staples in the front cover.
2. The FB should be laminated with packing tape, shelf liner, or laminating sheets.
3. Lamination should be done neatly.
4. Embellishments should be added to the cover. Embellishments include glitter, stickers, foil borders, sequins, ribbon, a nice background, cloth flowers. You can also do something fancy with pictures. Basically just a picture covered with lamination isn't a N&N FB.
5. Addresses should be printed legibly or typed.
6. Make it nice AND neat. Ask yourself whether you are proud of your work or not. 
7. For established N&N FBs, please make sure your partner hasn't previously signed it.

Description:
For this swap you will create one handmade greeting card featuring flowers. There are no set rules on what you can and cannot use for the card, use your imagination!   Please take care when making this card and make something that you would want to receive yourself. You will have one partner. This is an international swap, so you might get a partner in a country other than your own (costing more postage).  By joining, you agree to send anywhere. Please do not write in the card as you are making it for your partner to use in the future. Please also include an envelope. It can be for any occasion -- you can post here in the comments if there is a certain occasion you are looking for, but it's not guaranteed. It is a good idea to write your partner a note letting them know the swap name and your name and send it along. I will angel this swap if necessary, only if you have contacted your partner, have not heard from them within a few days, or have not received your swap within a month (remember, sometimes it takes longer to get mail from around the world.) To sign up for May swaps... click here: ** COMING SOON ** Click on "comments" below, and post when you send and receive your swaps! THANKS for joining! Have fun
