A GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN
A sweet and very different acrylic book in the shape of angel wings. This book would be perfect for your little angel, baptism and/or confirmation.
The book contains many beautifully cut mats for your precious photos. On pages 5 & 6 the mats each have a halo. The photo slips right under the halo to give your picture a special effect.
There is delicate layering on each page that leads into the next page giving this book depth and details like no other.
Take your time looking at the photos and if you have any questions, I will be glad to answer them.

"She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"
John Deere Chipboard Book
Is this not the cutest 'boy' book you have ever seen? Want 2 Scrap sent me the paper and book. The above book is what my interpretation is. Love how it turned out. It is manly enough for any guy. All those photos you have taken over time can easily be scrapped on the various mats.
If you have any questions or suggestions, just send me a comment and I will get right back to you.
Have a great day and happy scrappin'. Try something new today.

MY LITTLE GIRL
12 x 12 Acrylic Scalloped Scrapbook
The beauty of this book makes it so special. The 12 x 12 size gives you so much room to add larger pictures and journaling. The cover is all hand painted, using paint pens and acrylic paints. Every other scallop, up and down, is enhanced with the hand painting. The painting will show through to the other side. Stickles are dotted around the scallops for an eye catching effect.
Using the Storybook cartridge for my Cricut, the large oval frames were made to encase a sweet picture of a little girl. The next page, 4, has the same frame, just opposite colors as page 3. On page 5 and 6 a large cutout flower is placed to the side and a line of pink flowers is added.
The last two pages are interesting. The frame is from the cut out flowers on page 5 and 6. I simply added ribbon and the flower inside the frame looks like it is suspended.
Acrylic scrapbooking has to be my all time favorite items to make. The layering is so important and carefully following the lines of your papers and the size of the book help to dictate how you will do the layering. Please take your time to look at the photos and I will answer any questions you may have.
Please sign up to be a member, don't be just a lurker, I would love to know who you are and what you are interested in.
Thanks and happy scrappin'.

MY PAL
A sweet book that will hold all the photos of your favorite 'pal' (dog). The book is in the shape of a bone made of chipboard and laser cut. Very nice to work with. I cut the paper to match the outline of the bone, adhered it and decoupaged it. This step gives the book a real nice sheen and will repel soiling. There are so many places to put pictures of your pet and room for journaling. A very nice memento to keep or give.
The kit is offered for sale on www.want2scrap.com .
Enjoy looking at the photos and happy scrappin. Remember, try something new today.

COVER of the book.
The 2 rings that hold the book together have been covered with white fabric.
The waistband is a beautiful lace with white ribbon going through it. Also around the waist is a trim that is tiny white pearls and just a touch of pink.







White Acrylic Book
I have been wanting to make an all white acrylic dress book for a while. I have been planning it and finally I put it together. The layering process is so much clearer when you actually see the book. The photos above show it some, but the detail is what makes this book so special. I also used a small shot of pink that has been muted with the use of white vellum paper. The waistline on the front of the book has an edging that is all pearls and a small pink pearl in the center. These are the only places with color. Oh, the little rounded dots have a small amount of color.
Enjoy looking at the pictures. Remember to become a member, just add your name in the upper right-hand corner of this blog. Don't be just a lurker, join us, it will be interesting and fun.

BABY LUNCHBOX TIN

The front of the lunchbox tin.


Back of tin
Inside of lid a place for baby information.

There are 9 cards of different subjects, 18 sides.
All Me - A book that holds all important vital information, along with the
very important first photos.







The month of May will see a sweet addition to our family. My nephew and his sweet wife are expecting their first child, a boy. This will be my 3rd great-nephew. I made the above tin to send them when the baby is born. The keepsake tin will hold lots of information and very special items from the baby's first days. The information noted in the booklet and on the cards is priceless and can be easily passed on when the baby grows up and has a family of his own. He will have this tin to show to his kids. That can be so much fun when you look back on years gone by and see the information kept by other family members or personally. Tokens and other remembrances are poked into the tin and special places on the cards.
I am starting the little girl tin for my niece, who is expecting a girl next month. So needless to say everything on and in that tin will be pink and very girly. I will post photos when I am finished with it.
