Eeeeee- it's Paint Party Friday time and Friday the 13th-
who knows what will happen on a day like this? I'll be waiting to see....
In the meantime, I finished my December pages for the traveling sketchbooks!
I wanted to keep it simple and not especially traditional, so I did a
dove inspired by Picasso and surrounded by swirls a la Klimt...
and layers of patterns punctuated with lines from Christmas carols.
You might have noticed that I am totally obsessed with making pop ups right now!
and my signature page, again in non-traditional colors......
I had a lot of fun with this, and NOW, I'm all caught up- or mostly-
there's still a little tweaking I want to do on my November page.....
In the meantime, while I'm waiting to see which of the Sistas these books are going to, I'll be visiting PPF- won't you come too? There's so much beautiful art to see, and fabulous people to meet....
Happy PAint PArty Friday!

Friday the 13th started well for me, spilt my coffee all over the carpet and over my PJ's then I walked into a door........can I blame it on Friday the 13th.....no, this is normal for me.......lol Happy PPF, x
Lovely creations, color and composition and such a fun pop it ! Love how you credit the styles to various historical artists ~~ thanks, namaste, carol (Share the Creative Journey) Happy PPF ^_^
Love the way you wrote around the swirls and the pop-ups are so neat. I think it's good to keep going with something you are having fun to do-who knows where it might lead?
These are so lovely and I'm sure whichever sister gets this will be really chuffed with it - the pop us aspect is really clever!
Love how this page jumps out at you! :-)
Love your pages and of course the pop up! Hugs, Valerie
I cerainly looks like you had fun creating this one, Stephanie. Pop-up books have always seemed magical to me and yours is just lovely. I'm always a big fan of your work: the layers and color choices are bold and unique, and you always create something so amazing that I wish I'd thought of it myself!
I can definitely see the inspiration in the dove and the swirls. The pop up is so cool and your colors are yummy! Beautiful work, as always. *sigh* :)

Amazing pop-up! <3
I am in awe of how you got these pop-ups to work in a spiral bound book. The colors are lovely, too, and I like that they are non-traditional December colors. Of course, I'm not sure what "traditional" December colors really SHOULD be! Love these pages and the concept.
Who doesn't love popups? This made a beautiful spread!
These pages are awesome and the pop ups are great.

Beautiful idea, and wonderful execution. I always love getting a card during the holidays that doesn't use traditional colors or images. It stands out from the rest.
I just love your pages & the colors you picked are some of my favorites. Have a great week ahead!
These soft colors are lovely. And I'm fascinated by the pop ups. I haven't ventured into figuring them out yet, but they're on my list for 2012. Yours are an inspiration!
Beautiful page. I love the colors!!! Happy New Year!!
Great idea, I used to buy every pop up book I could for my children when they were toddlers... I still lust after them ;) Well done!
