Let the Swappin' Begin

The EtsyBloggers Journal Swap that is! Today is the start of a month long journal swap that I am participating in with other EtsyBloggers.
We are given a list of topics to write about during the month and then we mail our finished journal to a fellow teammate and we get one in return from a different teammate. It is going to be so much fun :)
I haven't made the cover of my journal yet because I want to make my journal kind of like a scrapbook. I have the general idea of what I want and the size I want it, but I want to be able to make each page separately and put them all together at the end.
I made my first page today. We were to introduce ourselves and tell a little bit about us. We were also to add a photo of ourselves and our shop banner. Here is what I came up with:
I loved the teal paper, but of course my first page had to have pink on it too :)
From here on out, we have 30 more topics to choose from and we can write about them in any order we want...just so we cover them all. I will keep you updated (maybe weekly) on how the journal is coming along.
So let the swappin' begin!!!
