Scrapbook Pages

Starting with a passion for photography, that passion soon combined with my love for crafting, so scrapbooking was a natural next step for me. That was ten years ago. Today, although not exclusively a scrapbooker, this hobby is an obsession for me. I have included just a small sampling of the pages I have designed below. I will continue to add more as time allows!















Christmas Cards

Another of my interests is cardmaking. Here are a few photos of Holiday Cards I made recently! I used my Cricut machine and several of my Cricut cartridges to create the "tag" card, along with various fibers and some embossing.
On the snowman card, I used Versamark ink to stamp the snowflakes, and then chalked over them to add color and a soft effect. On the snowman itself, and inside the card I stamped white craft ink onto navy blue paper. I then added fibers to the card.




























Altered Cigar Tin Gallery

Hi! I recently started altertering cigar tins. I have had a great time altering these tins, using a number of materials. I started out covering them with newspaper, then distressing and decorating them. I moved on to plain or printed papers, and using a combination of inking, stamping, distressing, and chalking among other things, as I began to further develop my designs. All of the tins feature 3-D design elements. They really are a lot of fun! I have attached a number of photos below. Enjoy!
