Hi Everybody!
Today I am showing some mixed media pages I made for a swap organized by dear Elizabeth.
There are 6 of us taking part, and we send loose pages (tip ins) to a different participant each month, made specially to their chosen theme.
In March I sent my pages to Annette, whose theme is proverbs/sayings, and as they reached her on March 25th I can now show them. I was under a lot of stress to get the pages done, as I had my big knee operation and then boot camp, which didn't leave much time or energy for crafting. So I took my inspiration from some journal pages I made a few years back, and then, once I got started, things were a bit easier. I hope Annette is not totally unsatisfied with her pages.
I used a quote from Harry Potter for the first pages, and
a verse from Proverbs for the second set. I stitched 2 pages together each time to make them more stable. The shorter pages are meant to go between the larger ones to connect them.
The reverse side:
I wrote the quote from Proverbs in Hebrew and English:
This is the tag I sent with it:
And the accompanying card:
That's all for today, I didn't have time to process today's photos.
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by.
A fabulous set of pages, it looks like a great swap and I.m sure these will be welcomed when they reach their destination.

You never cease to amaze me - wonderful pages and Valerie, you know I love it when you write in Hebrew. It always looks so ancient and mysterious to me. Perfect for Harry Potter! Although I know that Harry did not dwell in Proverbs.
