skinny book swap

these are two of my pages for chysti of the altered abbey's skinny book swap i'm excited to be in this swap, since i havent had the chance to participate in a skinny book swap before. chrysti is still taking sign ups, but i think spots are going fast, so get there quickly!



for these two pages, i liked the idea of using 2 inch squares and just working with white with small touches of black & grey to feature white in its beautiful light.

if you read the latest cloth paper scissors, chrysti's article about making skinny books pages is featured. pages are made of #140 watercolor paper and ephemera, size is 4 inches by 8 inches. i will post more pages as i am ready.

disappointment, etc

today i recieved the returns for an atc swap. the theme was candy. when i ripped open the envelope i only had one card, instead of three :(

but i did get some awesome goodies from hope of paper relics! she held a raffle and i won a collage sheet, some ephemera and five beautiful postcards! the collage on the postcard is lovely, but the only criticism i have is that the postcard is printed on glossy paper, which does not seem to suit very well for writing.

i finished one altoid tin for a swap at atcards. i think atcards is my favorite place to trade, it's got the most organized swaps for atcs, & no uneven swaps. there's not too many altered art swaps yet, but i think more will come. it's not too late to join in the altoid tin swap, the deadline is feb 28.
