Swap pages

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.

    What incredible pages, Valerie. I send to Annette next month, so I was glad you posted because I need all the help I can get. They certainly are fantastic. I am very, very impressed. And of course, sewing is definitely something that makes the pages more special in my opinion!

    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.
