card no 2

to Anton & Linnea

reason They're getting married

materials
card Elle Erre 260g/m2 paper in a cream color, photos, scraps
envelope Made from a plastic pocket and decorated with some rub-ons

For Anton and Linneas wedding I came up with the idea of squares and from there it wasn't difficult to fill the squares. I printed some photos of them, of the lindy hop dance floor (which is where they met) and of the woods in Dalsland (where Anton is from) and punched some other squares from scraps in pretty colors. The one with the "married" text is from an old English - Swedish dictionary I found. And then I wrote "grattis" on the last square and called it done.

now book from week 26

Working in a large, thick journal hasn't been working for me these past few years, which is why you haven't seen anything from me lately. I just feel trapped by the commitment of something that seems neverending and unfinishable, and I hate not finishing things. So I decided to keep it light and just make one of these now books whenever I felt like creating.

This one is from two weeks ago, made almost entirely from scraps and stuff thrown in the paper recycling bin, and captures a lot of restlessness and anxiety. Those feelings have gone away now, but this little colorful thing is still here with me. Just the way I like it.
