Excellent diary tutorials

Annoyingly I can't add these to this blog but if you enter suziblutube into YouTube you will find a whole load of tutorials to give you ideas for your diary. I particularly like her self-portrait page. Layers is also a good one.

Another example of an art diary



The imagery used in this diary is a bit cute and girly but it is an excellent example of how to layer or 'mess up' the page first.
