A Sweet Tweet Give Away Sneak Peek.....

"Those nimble little musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art."
~Izaak Walton~

I recently mentioned that I had reached my 300th post and would soon be hosting a give away. I am working on three art projects to give away and thought I would give you a sneak peek of the first project that is almost complete. This project was inspired by artist Vanessa Spencer while browsing the video library of Stampington & Co.; who publishes all my favorite art publications. You can also view other great Stampington & Co. videos here on StampingtonCo's Channel on YouTube.

I fell in love with Vanessa's Bird Journal and decided to give it a try. Her written instructions with supply list and product brands, as well as her video showing how to make the project made assembly quick and easy. This large board book journal measures 12"x5" and contains 14 journaling blocks.

I still have to bind the book and add the final embellishments. I will give you a peek at the other projects as soon as I get them started. I confess one page did not make it into the book, I have plans for that sweet tweet. I will be hosting the give away next week so check back then for sign up as well as project details. I also have some great tips and fun tricks to share with you.

(journal pages)
I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Blessings,
Miss Sandy
