I painted lots of pages in pastel colours and used one of Tim's new dies to decorate a few edges. A few pages were embossed with Cuttlebug folders and I added a few borders, but it's mostly blank, ready for lots of scribbling and stuff-sticking. All the coffee shops in Corralejo are bars as well, so I can see my doodling becoming more erratic, as I try to get round them all....
The pages are all cut from watercolour paper and I've left a few blank for my feeble efforts at painting. My suitcase will be full of artystuff and books to read, good job it's warm I won't need too many clothes!
I sort of made the cover, but I'll probably add stuff to it later, depends what interesting things I find. Note that it includes some of my wobbly stitching - more practice needed, I think.........
I'll blog some of it when I get back.
