Circus Tip-in

I just finished my circus tip-in pages for a swap. The front and reverse pages are below. I decided that I would do the pages with a vintage type look, rather than lots of colour, only because of the images I had chosen for the swap.

Doodle artist trading cards

Another challenge was "thrown down" for one of my groups and we were asked to create some artist trading cards by doodling. We now have a swap sending out 10 cards and getting 9 back and they must be as identical as possible, when creating by hand. I have decided to send the doodle one with the abstract look as it was the easiest to recreate en masse.

Sketchbook "The Year I was Born"

 This is my "Year I was Born Page". I am the baby of the family as my Mother did not want any children while World War II was still in progress, being as we lived in Britain, so I came along the year after the war ended.

I could have written many things about that year, such as: I do not like eggs much as due to rationing there were only powdered ones available. My first taste of bananas was not enjoyable as fruit was at a premium. I decided instead to just pick a few key points about the year and add them to my page.

Used stamp pads to colour the backgrounds then added some stickers.

Sketchbook

This is my sketchbook page for "What I Want to be When I grow Up". I have always enjoyed travelling and I would love to visit more countries. I have been fortunate to be able to explore Western Canada and a few provinces in the East. What a wonderful experience to see the diversity of the country!!

I have also been to a few countries in Europe and also the USA, but my husband and I want to take another trip, however we just can't decide on the location.

The background on this page was done with Lumiere paint scraping. I added images from Dover art and some scrapbook paper.
