WELCOME!

I thought it was about time that I started to let people see some of the things I sit tucked away and create. Most of the things that I make I give away as gifts so it is difficult to go back and retrieve pictures once they have been taken from my hands. I have the messiest room on the planet that I work out of, which drives me NUTS! I am trying to be more organized but it is really hard! I own a jewelry business so that takes up some of my time. I do however love to make all kinds of different crafty projects. I am glad to answer any questions you may have, so feel free to email me and ask... I have posted the first set of pictures that will give you some insight into my "crafting adventures!" Please give me your feedback! This first book is one that I did after a trip to Paris and Amsterdam.
I had a ton of fun making this album!





This next book has a title that I must explain. We were on a cruise and we spent hours watching the Sopranos. The name of Tony's boat was "Stugot" which in Italian is a bad word! This book was done with the Bind it All and the Dreamkuts. I have to say that I still struggle punching the holes for the binding.


Each page is an over sized envelope that I put all of the memories from the trip in. I took our best photos and enlarged them and used some Photoshop tricks and made them into mini works of art. I do have to say that I was a bit rushed to finish this project so I feel that my embellishments lacked a bit!


Here is the final shot of the book. These pictures were taken by my boyfriend which is why the detail of the book is not as explicit as I would make it!

I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into what I make. This is only a FRACTION of the projects that I come up with. I will be posting more projects in time!
Thanks for looking...
