A Bevy of Beautiful Book Pages!




I'm finally putting the finishing touches on my chunky book pages for a swap at IllustratedATCS.com! I think the pages are coming together quite nicely since I decided to skip elaborate backgrounds and let the girls take center stage. I've had the girls done for a while, but just couldn't wrap my head around the background. I started playing with artist crayons on scraps of velvet mat board and loved the way they blended into the material, which inspired me to cut the girls off their original backgrounds and frame them with swirls and flowers. I'm pretty happy with the result...only a few more to go and some embellishments to add this weekend!

It's been snowing like mad all day, which is a motivation killer for me. I just wanted to crawl in bed and nap. I'm hoping that the weather relaxes a bit before Artfest next week so I don't freeze my little toes off!
