Paris in Springtime

Image
By
Recently finished a book using one of the Glitz chipboard albums--it was a good news/bad news type of scenario.

The good news is, the background papers are already gorgeous for you . . .

The bad news is, it made it hard to cover them up with my own collages!

Paris In Springtime
This two-page layout is from my Paris In Springtime book, which shows off some of the beautiful papers, charming collage images, and a bit of the poem that is included.  I'd never used the Core'dinations papers before, either (the black mats on both pages), that paper is mighty fine to work with, let me tell you.

The poem, by the way, is included in both English and French, for you to cut into and use at will.  

Happy Friday, everyone!

    Thank you! Eunice, it was SO hard, but I finally just DID it. One page, I smeared paint all over it, with some of the original background showing, and REALLY like how it turned out.

    Ingrid, if you'd like to see a bit more of what I did with the book, you can find more at my blog. Most of it, of course, is reserved for the kit pics!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
