My White Book

My White Book

I’m doing another Round Robin with the same group as the Things Book.  We added 4 more people to our group and we are basing the RR on the True Colors Book by Stampington.  I LOVE this book!  Whenever I’m stuck and need some inspiration, I pick up this book.  I always see something new in it that I didn’t notice before.

So, everyone in this RR picked a color scheme for their book and we will all work in that scheme when the book comes to us.  We tend to have a lot of brown/tan/ivory going on but I think it will be fine.  I picked White for my book.

Here are a couple of shots of the spread I did in my book.

[image:150:c] My Sign-in Page.  I stamped in gesso on muslin for the hinges.  Turned out great and I’d like to add more of this to the book when it comes home.

[image:155:c]My first Spread.  The title of the book that I used was “Revelations” so I thought it might be interesting to carry that through as a theme.  This bride has a secrete…

[image:156:c]You can lift up her skirt and see her read petticoat underneath.  I used a bunch of different magazine images to create this spread.  The bride is made up of three different brides and the groom’s pants were from a picture of a woman on a sailboat.  Jayson wanted me to make it so that you could open the groom’s head and see him thinking about the red petticoat.  :)  That would have been awesome but the book was kind of small and i didn’t have time to do it.

Ten Two Studios is sharing more free images with its St. Patrick’s Day Countdown.  I love these countdowns because she shares some wonderful vintage images and her own digital creations totally free.  I have a nice little collection of images from countdowns for Valentine’s, Mother’s Day and Christmas.  Also, be sure to check out her FAQs for the images.  Some people blow this off but I think it is really important for us to respect copyright and acceptable use for anything we find online.  Now, go get the images because they go away after St. Patrick’s Day!
