these are a few . . .




of my favorite things! I a currently obsessed with mini albums, embossing (especially in metallics!), and feathers!! here are peeks of two mini albums i did that i just love. the first i took prima flowers and folded them in half and used them as the skirt portion in a Cinderella-themed book about me and my hubby, ian. i also used the text from the actual book as the journaling and called this mini album, My Own Fairytale. I love how the inside just pops with hot pink (thanks to some yummy pink paislee papers) and turquoise (from the gorgeous prima paper flowers). it is a perfect blend of my addiction to clothes and art!




the other mini album, Note to Self, is my first attempt at an acrylic album. it was a challenge, but, if you know me at all, you know i LOVE a challenge and am not afraid to try anything! so, between trips to google to find out what the best adhesive is to use on an acrylic page, dabbling with alcohol inks, embossing on acrylic (it CAN be done, just hold your heat tool a little farther away), and using the see-through quality of acrylic with a ton of clear stickers (hambly) and transparencies (fancy pants/hambly), was too much fun! i'm sure i'll be lovin' me some acrylic again really soon!

Is that a picture of Ian with a hardhat on while driving? If so, that is hilarious!

You are very talented in your work, I can only hope to aspire to your talents one day!

Ok--now that I look closer it IS you! haha. I generally forget to put on my glasses when I am at the computer...when I am supposed to be wearing them.
