Creating a book a month : March Meander

I have an Intention to create a book a month this year : small and gorgeous, mixed media and stitched. I had this lovely book out from the library again last month (published 2011)

and rediscovered this lovely project by Susie LaFond

It seemed the perfect inspiration for creating my book for March. I'm pairing it with Kellee Wynne's online workshop "The Layered Page" which she is offering free for a very limited time this month (EDIT : Now open indefinitely while we are practicing social distancing). Sign up HERE. This is an example of Kellee's work from this class : 

I've begun by cutting recycled book pages into 6"squares. The project requires 8 squares so I have cut 16 so that I can add stitch if I want and I will back them before joining into the book format. I'm working with nature's palette of blues and greens for my backgrounds. Here's how I've started with inspiration from Kellee's online class.
