Girlfriends Book - my page 1

Katie started a book round robin thingy - and about 10 of us have joined.
This goes to Suki next - and was inspired by her search for a new home and also by some scrapbook paper that I had from Claudine Hellmuth. Suki has been looking for a new home for awhile and I decided to make the theme of my book - HOME. Have fun with it. The dimensions are 6 x 12 - and I'm going to leave it that way, no folding for this page. So all would just add a 6x12 piece next (if I have it right!).

Now I'm into house images!! Gotta work on the cover next. Suki - you should be getting this page soon.

wow, that sounds like an awesome project!
I love your theme and the reason for it. Purple is such a good energy color. I hope it brings Suki luck ;)

I'm not sure how this group works. I'll check out Katie's blog. I'm pretty dense!

beauty of a page Mim!

Well I like how the paper, especially the background paper looks like fabric to me, and the way you pieced it very much has a landscape art quilt look to it. Maybe we each see what we want to see? It's lovely. I am still working on my long fold out first page, and today started one for Soul. Glad to have your measurements. ;~)

mim, this project sounds totally wonderful? when done will you have a book filled with one page each of artists creating something on the theme of 'home'? do i have that right?

i agree with lynn that your cutouts look like fabric. and the color! purple is the color of the 'holy spirit' (not to be confused with my catholic background).

have a good monday, mim.
xoxo!

Oh Mim, this is so fun!! I love it. And I love the theme. Home is such a comforatble place. Should be an easy theme to follow. Good job!
I can't wait to see it in person.

Oh Darling Mim: Thank you so much. I received a lovely card in the mail and the best thing of all is that we looked like twins.

I had on a nice warm vest and one of my son's hockey sticks in my hand and then I opened a card from 'Stella' and I was like who the heck is Stella. And then I saw Mim. And I was super excited and really glad.

Mim I love it, the card is such a gift and so is the little envelope.

Thank you so much. It totally made my day and boy did you ever get Canada right.

Love Renee xoxoxo

I have been seeing these pages popping up on blogs. It is fun seeing the book come together. Your page looks like it is sewn.
