Altered Journal

I just finished my latest project, and I had a blast doing it. It feels so good to get the creative juices flowing! I started out with a chipboard album and used some great 7 Gypsies papers to cover it. Then I took advantage of all of Tim Holtz's metals to embellish it, and the computer to add a custom book plate. I love inking around almost every edge, even the gaffer tape. It gives a great distressed look. I made a pocket in the front inside cover, for little memorablia to be tucked into. This is a present for a special someone, with lots of symbolism thrown in for him...hope he likes it!

This is what love looks like.....

I love these new photos of my chick a dos and my hubby...those little guys have so much fun together! Here they're sharing a private joke....

New lo of our 'box sitter'

I was able to capture some of the funny positions Wyatt has gotten himself into lately. This is such a fun age. He's trying to figure out his size in relation to things around him and always seeing what he fits into. I love this crazy, funky layout cause it's a thing I'll always remember about him being a baby. I never know what he'll be sitting in next!

Favorite subjects.. My two little chicks...

These layouts were so fun to do. The All Aboard layout is my son's first train ride. The look of wonder on his face is just priceless. It was his first glance at the life size Thomas the Train. The Little Fish layout was great to work on. I loved painting the raw chipboard swirls in to waves with several colors of MM paint, and also some crystal stickles and dimensional glaze. The water spots are raindots...

Welcome to my new blog that is about all things scrapbooking, papercrafting and mixed media art.

I am so excited to have this new blog where we can share ideas, designs, techniques and all things related to the making of art that we love. I look forward to posting projects, sharing links to great sites and introducing you to other artists and their blogs, too. Please stop by and say hi and share the project you're currently working on. I'm finishing up an adorable Melissa Frances baby album, starting an altered journal that will be a present, and am in the middle of a huge venture to start up my own online store on Etsy! My goal is to be on an incredible design team one day soon and be able to experience this wonderful art form even more.
