Nook U Finals #1

I'm thrilled that I made it to the top 15, and I'm now in the finals...  but what a scary first final!!  We had to design a mini-album, with at least 8 pages, and incorporate at least three of the previous Nook U classes.

I included elements from Art Class 110 (doodling), Art Class (paint), English Literature (journalling), Home Economics (stitching and ribbons).
Paint media used: Gesso; GlimmerMist - ; acrylic paint - Making Memories "Eat Carrots".

I also included Typography 101 (the front cover title) and Shop 101 (I used my scalloped edge punch to make flowers, and I even used those little thin paper strips from the edge of the punching to make some little 'starburst' flowers.)

I didn't have a mini-album to use, so I made my own by altering this newsletter:











I painted on a coat of gesso, then GlimmerMist-ed with two colours - "Terracotta Gold" and "Key Lime Pie". I had a little production line happening! It took ages to dry with all the wet weather we've been having lately, but I was happy with the result. It's got a gorgeous glimmery sheen.







I'm sure that this album will expand sometime soon, but for now, this is the completed version for the challenge.
