Christmas Present for Foxie 2008
















This is the first scrapbook I have ever put together...my friends all seem to be having grandchildren these past two years...8 all total....so I decided I would try my hand at making a scrapbook for my friend, Foxie - she is not a paper arts person so I know she probably wouldn't make one for herself...here are the pages I designed...

P.S. I have a few more pages and I will post them later....ran out of time... :-)

Checkerboard Booklet




Just playing around with some stored up ideas...now that I have some time to play my brain is going on overdrive...enjoy!...this is based on the Checkerboard pattern I found printed in my file...no idea where the original idea came from...didn't have a picture just a template...so I created this...I made pockets in each section....not sure for what but I love pockets...

Psbl Altered Pages Kit

Star Book Tree Card and/or Decoration - I submitted this for consideration to Altered Pages...I need to start making some things for publication now....


Samples for Beads & More/Stamp store


New Scrap/Stamp store is open in Frederick MD...called Beads & More because it started out as a beads store and has now grown into a rubber stamp and scrapbook store...yeah!!!

Here are some samples I made for them to use...they have hardly anything right now but will be getting lots more - one - Impression Obsession and who knows...

They didn't want to take this as a sample so they put a price on it in case someone wants to buy it....oh, well...

They are very nice people and I really hope they success in this venture....

Altered Page Gift Card Holder Kit










This is a holder for all of those Gift Card we receive. You can add a ribbon or wrap to keep it closed or I also like to use an old clip earring as a closure. I designed this kit for Altered Pages. My inspiration was my girlfriend, Diane. She is a teacher and she receives tons of gift cards mostly "Starbucks." The basic idea for a single card holder came from my friend Heather. Of course, I had to turn it into a booklet. This sample has four page/holders in it. You can make it one or an unlimited number of pages.
