Hello and welcome to my Photo Album.

Here you will find pics of my handmade paper piecings, my altered items or my 3-d pages, basically they are on this main album page because they don't fit in with my Cards or my Scrapbooking pages.

I'm always doing something creative! So check back here often. Please take some time to check out my Cards page and my Scrapbook page for more of my creations!

I hope that you enjoy my work, and if you have any quesitons or suggestions, please don't hesitate to write me.

I would also greatly enjoy seeing your altered creations! Please feel free to visit our forum and share your creations with us!

While you're here, can I ask you a favor? On the left menu I have a few buttons for supporting breast cancer, rainforests, and animal rescue. Can you please take a few minutes to click each button (they will open new pages). It will NOT cost you anything, but your click will give automatic donations to breast cancer research, saving the rainforest and animal rescue funds, just because you viewed the website. Again, you will NOT be asked to donate any money, simply clicking the buttons will donate automatically. If you don't want to view the pages, that's ok too, Thank you for at least listening to me and learning a few of the things that are really important to me that I support.

Happy Crafting!!

This is an altered chipboard word book. I've made this for my husband for valentines day, and I can't wait to give it to him!!

Here is another altered chipboard word book I've made. It will be given as a gift to my best girlfriend.

And here is another altered chipboard word book.It will be given as a gift in the upcoming months.

Here is a Wall Hanging I've made. It is basically a "scrapbooking page" that I've added holes and ribbon to, to make it a hanging wall photo frame. This particular wall hanging is 8 x 8 inch squares, though I have made ones as small as 4 x 4 inch and as large as 12 x 12 inch.

Here is my most recent chipboard word book. I have made this and I'm working on a poem to put inside. This book will go to my grandma when I'm finished with it. I'm going to have everyone in my family write something on each page and add a doodle or a picture of their own to make it even more special.

This is my most recent project. I got tired of looking at my ugly plain rolodex so I put it away and got an address book; but, I have the HARDEST time keeping up with my addy book because it's so small! So, I took out my rolodex and decided to play around with some ideas that I recently used on some receipe cards. I  spruced up my rolodex and got a whole new idea for gifts and creations! I completed this project on June 10, 2008; it was an early birthday gift to myself.
