Journal Entries and Sad News

Image
 Hey Gang, the Circle of Friends has finished up another journal round.  These are two of my entries into separate journals.
Image
 Andrea's Journal was entitled "Queen" and I took a rather broad interpretation of it making up my own story of the Princess Frog.
Image
 Sandi's journal was postcard size entries with the theme "Live, Love, Laugh" and required the use of acrylic paint.  I really love the way this one turned out.  Not my usual style but so fun and happy.
Image
Now onto the not so happy news.

You will be seeing less of me from now on.  I have terrible vision that has up until now been corrected with glasses.  But now it has gotten worse and crafting, reading, and being on the computer all strain my eyes.  I of course am still creating but at a much slower pace.  I plan on blogging everything but it is my lowest priority and of course I am still doing tutorials.  

So long story short, there will not be as many blog posts from me but I am still blogging and love all of you that have supported me over the years.

Travel Album

Image
 This month Alpha Stamps theme is Vintage Voyage!
 Who doesn't love vintage things and going on trips?  So you can imagine how much fun I had with this one.
Image
I decided to do a Summer Vacation Memory Book for three friends Betty Lou, Susan and Mom.
They of course had to have tickets.
Image
And what better way to keep them than in this cute little ATC sized envelope.   
Image
 Their journey starts out on a yacht.
Image
 Which takes them to a beach.
Image
 A fun little envelope holds a tag with information about their sea voyage.
Image
 They spend a few days flirting in Sea Bright N.J.
Image

Image
 Then it's off to Paris.
Image
 A fun little envelope holds postcards that they sent to friends and family.
Image

Image
The entire book is 7 pages long front and back and is ATC sized.
