I and J Celebrations!

I have kept these two quite plain and flat as I have realised that the book will be pretty chunky and may resemble an old Encyclopedia Britannica lol.

I is for INDEPENDANCE DAY. So it was stars & stripes all the way! I used a couple of those coffee stirring sticks that I had 'borrowed' to make the flagpoles. I stuck some foam tape under the middles of the flags so that they look like they are waving a little.

J is for JANMASHTHAMI, this is a celebration of Lord Krishna's birthday. As I don't know too much about this diety I found a picture of Krishna and worked around the colours in that. The background paper is a gorgeous green paisley from BG Boxer range again.

Thanks you again for looking, have a good day whatever you are doing X

Well, I would never have known that! Not sure I could have come up with a celebration beginning with J. Love the chipboard swirl on there, it looks great with the BG paper!

That green paisley background paper works so well and I love the red ric rac on your stars and stripes.
