A few months ago whilst browsing the net I was inspired by something I saw to make an album out of oddments of paper, scrapbooking paper, wallpaper, book pages...anything I could get my hands on. The result was this little album with pages of varying sizes and quality. So what to do with it?
I am lucky to live just a short distance from one of the National Trust sites...Mottisfont...so I decided to document some of the garden changes and wildlife seen at Mottisfont throughout the year. Each month I pop up there and practise my photography skills and then put the best half dozen or so photos into the album but the beauty of this is that I am able to practise some artistic techniques at the same time. I don't want it to be just like a scrapbooking album.
I have now completed pages for March April and May and will add some of those over the next few days but here is the album.

great book Jules. I especially love the page with the 3 ladies dressed all in their finery! It is going to be a great. Did you bink it yourself?
Just loving these winky wonky pages. Something else to go on my to do list. Look forward to seeing it as the months go by.
