This is number six in a series of page swaps I will be hosting with a nature-theme. When we finish, you should have enough pages to bind into a book. Of course, you are welcome to join at any time in the series! Please keep in mind that for this series I'm thinking more traditional, relatively realistic, or vintage botanical/animal images, rather than "cutesy" or scrapbooky interpretations (although some scrapbook embellishments may be tastefully incorporated). The theme for this chunky page is any "pretty" insect that isn't a moth/butterfly, since we already did that theme. Think honeybees, bumblebees, dragon or damselflies, lacewings, ladybugs, etc. Designing a page in this style is pretty basic. Layer your main image over "found" paper such as a sheet of music, a dictionary page, ledgers, the cover of a farmer's almanac, or vintage-looking scrapbook papers etc. Embellish your page with relatively realistic or vintage images, stamping, numbers/symbols, postage stamps or cancellation marks, text/found poetry etc. And don't forget to include a 3-D component to make your page "chunky." Finally, you should lightly decorate the back side of your page, and include your contact information. If you have any topic suggestions for future themes, let me know!
