Alaska Friends.......

Are moving out of state so I did a couple of Deco pages that will be going in a specially made book for the each of them.

We will truly miss them both, but I know the medical care for her daughter is lots better and closer for them should they need it!

Added pages for Book Swap

I had to add a couple pages because I didn't have 6 stamped images on my pages so ....... Judy will get a bonus in her book!

Hope she has gotten it by now in the mail, and she's enjoying her Winter Themed book as much as I had putting it together!

Stampin'Up! Deco Page

I really need to get my PSP program loaded back onto my computer so I can make a sharper image of the photos that I take..........anyway this is stamped with a retired stamp set but by far one of my favorites. Flowers was the theme for this book and I had fun making this for Mary Kay, she was the local stamp store owner until she closed shop .....we all sure miss her!

Deco Page

I'm on a local deco list here in town and Dody themed her book "Wild Side" ........LOL .......She so loves her kitties too! I just couldn't resist using this kitty, with him being so bad snorkling in the fishbowl.......the fish are SU and are painted with Twinkling H2O's.

Angel Deco

Searching I finally found a Angel stamp that I liked for my page in Julie's Deco Book. I used Radiant Rains for painting in the purple flowers & Green vines, Prisma Colored pencils, SU markers, and stickles on her wings for sparkle. For the life of me I can't remember who the angel stamp is from?
