more altered projects.....

OK-this will be a long post because I have many pictures to display. If this all works I will be amazed.

This first item is a notebook/journal for recording my favorite places to visit, eat and shop. When we travel I like to note those restaurants, sights or stores (a lot of scrapbook stores) we visit because my memory is not as good as I'd like it to be.

This journal was purchased and embellished with Melissa Frances floral paper and a scrap of "handwriting" paper from my stash, journaling card from MME Tres Jolie collection, vintage seam binding and buttons and the wonderful stamped image of the lady with the teapot body & hat from http://www.characterconstructions.com/

Amelia's dress is an 8-inch piece from sayitwithletters.blogspot.com/ Amelia is the adorable 4 month old daughter of my friend Bethanie. Twice a month I have the joy of watching her for the day while her Mommie is at work. I'm trying to teach her to scrapbook but for now she's content just to hang out with me in my studio while I work. Anyway, her room is pink & brown so I made this dress using Foof-a-La paper and embellised with a chipboard "A", sheer brown dotted ribbon and 2 sweet little paper flowers. I am trying hard to learn the Melissa Phillips signature bow....some day I'll get it.
