Thanks bunches. Altered book layouts are very, very planned but I also make layouts in my art journals that are spontaneous. You learn different things. Kelly
Great process video, as usual! I was up and down with all your choices - that yellow bird made my heart skip a beat- and calmed right down at the end. What fun!
Kelly, what a really cool layout this was. I loved the little girl, and it's always so nifty to hear your thoughts behind why/what you do on your pages. This little board book looks scrumptious, and I have several tucked away, that I need to get back out. You've greatly inspired me. Thank you.
Hi Lynn. Yes, you should make an altered board book. I am working on a new online course about making altered board books in several different ways. It started off small and is getting away from me so I am going to take my time and try it out in January. Also, these board books can be turned into art journals. Keep me posted!
I always enjoy watching and hearing how you choose your images for your layouts! I have a board book I have been sanding down and prepping for an altered book. I like the idea of backing each page with text! I think that is exactly what I will do with mine! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Susan. Yeah, I used to sand mine and peel and break a nail and cuss until I realised I can just cover the things with text. I still sand sometimes but it is fun to have the option. Kelly
@@BookandPaperArts that is good to know! So if I understand correctly, I can just scruff up the pages to get the gloss off and then adhere the text right to it without putting a layer of gesso first? That means I will be ready to go a lot quicker! Thank you!
Mmmm just what I needed on a cold Friday night. Thanks Kelly!
Thanks bunches, Catherine. I was just thinking that it is getting to be wine-mulling season. Hmmmm.
So enjoyed this metamorphosis

Thank you, Regina. I hated to choose. I really was leaning toward the blue flower but sometimes the book wants something else. 😎😎
Thank you for sharing your process. It really helps.
Diane, you are so very welcome! Kelly
This is so beautiful! I loved the way you explained the whole process of choosing the elements for the layout! It’s amazing, Kelly ❤️💙💚💛🖤🧡💗💜♥️
Thank you, Alexandra. It is always a mystery for me, too. Kelly

@@MissDaisyParsley Pretty much. It is way easier than peeling.
