More Sketchbook pages

I have been having a very creative day and finished another two pages for the sketchbook prompts. They are Family Traits and Numbers. The numbers page is in relation to numbers which are significant in our lives so I chose numbers representing events in my life.

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.

Sketchbook page 2

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

Sketchbook

On my Art-Venture group Trish has challenged us to create a sketchbook, using either a store-bought one or home made one. I used some magazine images and rubber stamps to incorporate into my pages.

The first prompt was to produce a page using the letters of our name with words to describe our self.

The second prompt was eight things we love.
