Two years in the making, part 2

Happy Thanksgiving on Monday to my Canadian neighbors, readers, and friends, including my dear friend Cindy. 

If you were here yesterday, you saw the first set of signatures I made in

this scrappy visual journal for my friend Cindy.

It's time to reveal the second set of signatures.

This is where we left off yesterday with Page 48 and 49.

Pages 50 and 51.

Pages 52 and 53.

Pages 54 and 55.

Pages 56 and 57.

Pages 58 and 59.

Pages 60 and 61.

Pages 62 and 63.

Pages 64 and 65.

Pages 66 and 67.

Pages 68 and 69.

Pages 70 and 71.

Pages 72 and 73, the center of the second signature.

Pages 74 and 75.

Pages 76 and 77.

Pages 78 and 79.  There is a hidden place to write under the green stamps.

Pages 80 and 81.

Pages 82 and 83.

Pages 84 and 85.

Pages 86 and 87.

Pages 88 and 89.

Pages 90 and 91.

Pages 92 and 93.

Pages 94 and 95.

Page 96 and inside back cover.   The back holds a place to leave pens and pencils.  I included a pen so Cindy would have one to start her scrappy journal journey.

I know how much she loved Paris, so I tried to show as much of it as possible.  Of course, a few other images from France crept in here and there, too.  I tried to leave enough room she could write on each page, and some had no images at all.  Some had hidden areas to write on, while some had pockets to store ephemera.

I explained I used handmade shimmering mists and stamp ink, but no paint, since I didn’t want Cindy to accidentally lose or kill a pen when writing over paint like I have in the past.  Although this took two years to finish, I was happy with how it turned out.  I hope Cindy likes it and will use it, too.

BTW, I'm sure you can tell, my scanner seems to be on its last leg, therefore the line in the bottom third of each scan that was brighter or lighter than the top.

Thanks for sticking with me through this.  I am so grateful for your comments and sticking through to the very end of this post (both days).
