After finally getting around to ordering a ton of digital pictures, I figured I should really have somewhere to put our memories.

This is the title page.

I’ll likely add a picture of both kids below the word Cherish.

I tend to do a *summer memories* book each year but I’m not going to limit myself to that this time. I’m not really sure how this altered book/scrapbook will evolve. Since I’ll be including photos of family and friends I won’t be showing many pages. I will show the completed book, at least from the outside, when finished.

I had a chance to play a bit yesterday.

I mostly worked on putting the tip-ins I’ve received together with my own pages in a patriotic theme book. I think I still have a page or 2 coming so I can’t say I’m done with that one yet.

Although I did make one new spread in my just for fun altered book.



I can finally reveal the full picture from the sneak peek I gave last week.

Theresa got her gifts in the mail and is very happy, so I’m happy too!

Quite a while back I showed my circle for the anniversary swap on ABC.

Here’s my completed book.

I used CD’s that had been sitting in my UFO (unfinished object) bin forever.
They were colored on both side by pouring blue and green metallic inks on then swirling a bit.
The black swirls are two different rubber stamps and plain old dye-based ink.




I decided to drag out my coffee themed altered book over the weekend to try and get a few more pages done.

Here’s what I came up with…

When I decided to do this book I thought it would be a breeze.

I LOVE COFFEE. How hard could it be, right?!?

Apparently I like drinking my coffee, not creating art about it.


These are my map and napkin theme 4×4’s for a swap on ABC.

Here’s a little sneak peek at another item I’m working on.
More to come at a later time.

I was having art withdrawals so I whipped up these couple pages in my “just for fun” no theme alteredbook.

Everything on these pages is from my scrap heap. I keep trying to whittle it down some but somehow it multiplies when I turn out the lights.
