Ive been making this book for our altered photos class. ive recycled an old book and rebound and covered it... ive also include some eyelets so i can join in the fun with inkurable stampers this month...
the cover is collaged with all sorts of maps and leaflets i collected and painted with lots of twinklings and gesso.
i love the litle map signs peaking thru from the caravan park leaflets where we stayed....
and the way the bird prints (typo stamps) took the paint away as i was too impatient to let it dry properly.
i think it will be perfect for the photos/journalling of our trip around Australia wayyy back in 2005.
We took the girls out of school and hubby took 6 weeks of long service and we covered about 10,000 kms, gosh Australia's huge, you don't realise til you have to cover it...lol....originally i wanted to go to the great Barrier Reef before it disappears with the bleaching...
Hubby says lets go up the centre and then across to Brisbane , yes says me, happy to go anywhere.....i wish i checked out how many hours we would needed to spend in the car but it was well worth it, we saw and experienced so much.

It was wonderful family time before they grow up and flee the nest, and knowing mine they wont hang around ... oh and i didn't get to the Great Barrier Reef....
