Round Robin Swap

Finally, A new Blog Post from me....
 
Over at Kindred Souls we are having a round robin journal swap where you make a journal, create your covers and a page then send it to the next player in line to create a page, and so forth and so forth until your book is finished.
Then the player that completes your last page sends it back to you.
 
Each player had to select a theme for their journal. Mine is Eclectic Vintage Gentlemen.
 
 
This is the cover of my journal.
 
 
This is the page I created. I used a photograph of old paparazzi. I have had this photo for a while and thought this would be the perfect place to use it. I covered my page in metal tape and embossed it for an industrial look.


 

 
This is the back of my page. I kept it simple with some patterned paper an a stamped image reminiscent of Laurel and Hardy.

 
I just cant wait to see all the great art that comes back in my journal for their are some great artist playing along.
