Weekend Update




Wallpaper Pocket above
Pages from yesterday. Remember this is a gift journal and I'm just to put a little decoration and inspiration on the pages.
Tuscany is not the theme, however, it will be the color pallet and underlying element. At least that is what I'm trying to do.
The photo to the left is just to show you how I cheat a little. You can too.
I used a piece of wallpaper border and traced the scroll onto vellum. Cut it out and use it as a patter to paint on the page. I'm doing several pages with the scroll but moving it around in different positions and using different colors.
I think it is looking fab so far.
More later,
Sharon

  1. Thanks for the tip about making a pattern.

    Now some questions... How many pages will the finished book have? Do you remove pages when you glue some together? I seem to recall that you didn't on the last book. I'm always concerned that I'll have a bulky mess if I don't remove pages.

    Whatever you do, it looks great and I'm sure the intended recipient will be thrilled.
