Bird Journal by Vanessa Spencer
for Stampington


Here's the link for you to download the template and see the step-by-step photos too!

What a lovely project - I can see so many possiblities for this, and will be dusting off my Bind-it-All immediately! This could be made from any paper - I can imagine this in earthy handmade papers, raffia, rope twine etc ... or a heavyweight watercolour paper, white on white, stamped and embossed... Then again, there are so many absolutely gorgeous scrapbooking papers out there... Or use up all your odds and ends of card and paper by using the template (cut it out in mountboard or even the cardboard from cereal boxes) and collage on a mix of papers, seerendipity-style, then trim down.

The possibilities are endless!

Happy New Year!

Anyone acted on their New Year Resolutions yet?

I have taken a step in the right direction: signed up for a postcard swap on UKPaperArts yahoo group, and am following the alphabet challenge on ByHandArtists yahoo group - where I saw this really interesting link for Alphabet Photography.

This site has really inspiration ideas for any photography, journal and font fan. It certainly makes you look at ordinary objects in a new way... I am dusting off my camera as we speak!
