NEW GLUE BOOK FUN

"EN MASSE" :

Dictionary Definition for En Masse....
"Adv: In one group or body; all together"

***********************
Above is my Title Page on the right and
some of my categories on the left.
[Thanks Shannon Green (YT-er)
for these suggestions....]
💋
Here is the first double spread
all squares and rectangles:
"ROSES"
and
the 2nd :
↧↧↧↧
"FACES"
Using squares and rectangles once again.

Followed by
a double spread in progress
↓↓↓
"Fashion"

You can see from the Fashion pix that 
I have cut out each single "fashionista" or
group and fit them
together puzzle-like to cover
all the cream colored background..

These are more difficult as I have "fussy cut"
a lot of the girls--so fitting them together
is a bit challenging.

Working on these pages reminds me of 
this Yo-Yo fabric Coverlet--
Which I would dearly love to make
for a Summer bed spread...
AND

my Ojos works:

******************************

I am so enjoying working in these
glue books, searching for images
and fussy cutting...
It is really very  relaxing
 with my
Pandora radio on in the
background shuffling a 
variety of musical styles...

*******************************
I am working out of a lot of back issues
of mags that I have been 
hoarding 
over the years and
not really knowing 
W H Y ???

[answer to Tom's question:
"Why do you need all these
old magazines?"]
HAHAHAHAHA
It is great to be using them up👌💋😊
***********************************
I hope you are enjoying this Saturday...
It is raining pretty hard here with
lowering grayed clouds...
but it is
"sunny" in my craft space;)))
