Fat Page Jam #1

For a change, my friends Piddawinkle and Flippinpest and I decided to swap fat pages instead of ATCs. As usual we all chose a theme for the others to follow. As Valentine's Day is approaching I chose Love and/or Marriage. Pidd chose Goblins and Faeries, which I really had to work at as they are not my thing and I own one fairy-ish stamp. Flipp chose Marine, always a favourite of mine.

I got amazing pages back from my friends, for which I thank them heartily. No doubt they will appear on their blogs very soon.

Here are the ones I sent Piddawinkle (Flipp's will follow). In case you don't know, fat pages (4" x 4") are decorated on both sides, with the back also containing information, date etc.



Fairy Rings are naturally occuring - either circular patches of grass or, more picturesque, rings of toadstools. For the background of the front side I used some powdery stuff meant for model railway sets. The background on the reverse is a mix of ink, acrylic and oil pastels.



The Sea, The Sea! utilises papers from digital scrapbook kits and. I used a piece of mica to cover the quote sticker. The pointer thing is Tim Holtz ideology.



For The Good Wife's Guide I started with an article from a 1955 issue of Good Housekeeping. It's been on the Internet for a while; you have probably seen it. I wonder how many eager young wives tried to follow it to the letter. No wonder valium became the housewife's little helper!
