NEW YORK - GIRLS TRIP Mini Album 2008

Here is a little album I did of a girls trip I went on. It was a completely fabulous trip.  All of my sisters and mother were there.  (I have 5 sisters, plus me and my mom--basically built in party!)



We went to the restaurant Serendipity.  It is featured in the movie "One Fine Day".

We also saw a Broadway Show - Mary Poppins.

It was Practically Perfect in Every way.  This is a close up.  I used the map from a brochure in the album.  It was a fantastic way to show where we were in the city.


We saw street vendors;
we enjoyed beautiful buildings;
we went to central park;
we stayed in a posh hotel.

It was a fabulous, fast and furious adventure.
  We ran through the rain and the slick streets;
we sang in the subway;
we had a pregnant mommy to be;
we walked and walked and walked.

Absolutely want to do it again!
I hope you enjoy the album.

I sure enjoyed the trip.
Have you ever been to New York?  
What was your favorite part?

Lil Green Suticase....All fixed up!

This lil altered piece of luggage was not too pretty.

This is the
  after shot: I know it is a little out of order, but i was excited to show off!

and the before!


I took out all of the insides and put new insides in.

I also left most of the original outsides intact.  I just added some paper and painted a few things on the front (like a crown).

Then I  added some BLING.

  I think it turned out pretty good.  I am using it for some storage things in my craft room!

Let me know what you think!

Altered Journals - Gift Set

Just a few things I have been working on lately.

I have been making these altered journals that are gift sets.
I Hand embellished each item with glitter and micro-beads.  I also hand tipped a pen to match the journal.
They make great gifts.  I am going to give one of these to my Beautygirl's teacher this year.

These are just a few that I am selling at the boutique on Saturday, Dec 3, 2011.

It is called Paper Moon Craftique.

Come over and check out all of the cool stuff!

Fishin' - Altered-Art Book Mini Album

This is a book I did for a dear friend for her birthday.  It is an altered-art book (which means take a book and turn it into something else.).

We had gone camping together and I got a few great pictures.


Details.





Details.


Edge tabs.

 

 Here are some of the insides.  This little girl thought the crawdad looked like a "buggie".







Even the dog named "Dottie" posed for her picture.

She Loved the book....  Enjoy!

Gratitude Mini Album

For Thanks Giving Last year, I made an album where all of the gathered family wrote something they were grateful for. I added Tags with each person's name on it.  They could write to one side, on the lined paper,  I then printed off a photo (taken on Thanksgiving) and added it next to their thoughts.

Back inside cover, Don't know why it posted sideways... but Whatever!

Here is a close up of the front detail.  This tag has been embossed and micro beads were added as an embellishment.

Just another view of the front tag, showing some of the other details.

So what do you think?
