I am tickled pink to have been selected as the “May Muse” over at Gingersnap Creations.
“May is upon us and that means another new theme and new focus! To help celebrate National Crack a Book Month, we’ve decided to make the printed word our theme for this month – reading, writing and integrating text and writing instruments into our art.”
Gingersnap Creations asked a few months back if I can create a tutorial on how to make altered book pages. I made a tutorial which features using poetry from Hilda Conkling and images from Paper Whimsy. The tutorial I have to offer in downloadable PDF format and a link is available on Gingersnap Creations blog! Hope you can stop by and join the fun!:)
OMG this is so beautiful and darling.
Gorgeous pages Nancy. Love them.
