Explore

Welcome to the first post for Explore the brand new class from Shimelle Laine. There wasn't a huge amount of information about the class prior to today however I have faith in Shimelle so took the plunge anyway.

So the first prompt was to make a Play book which I have done. I used pink cardstock and some scraps of patterned paper left from projects. I found some explore related travel stickers and others bit and bobs. The pages are 6 x 4 but I made the covers slightly larger so that it would accomodate large objects depending on the class requirements.

The cover is hiding a wealth of messy inking which kind of had a mad attack all over the card! I ended up making a bigger detailed cover to disguise it all. I found the labels and stickers in my stash and the birdcage I had already cut out and thought of a bird wanting to explore the outside world. The stickers a puffy stickers and I splattered a load of paint down the front. What looks like a postal stamp is actually a sticker from a travel pack.
We were also told to find some photos which meant explore or adventure to us, here are a couple I found.

 The Paris Eye

 Bristol Balloon Fiesta

 Walking in the Yorkshire Moors

Me sitting overlooking a beach in Pembrokeshire.

 

Each of the photos have a travel sticker with a phrase added onto it from the travel pack I mentioned earlier.

Yesterdays prompt is taking a picture of urself which I still havent done as I dont have the right light or mirror placements. Today we needed to make or find a postcard. I found one in my bag of souvineers from Barcelona 3 years ago. I will complete the journalling later.

I will be back with more Explore tomorrow.
