What the journal block says...

We might be cousins but it goes further than that.

There might be 13 years difference in our age but it doesnt matter.

We might fight and disagree but we get past it and become closer.

There might be days when I make her laugh and

There might days when I cry on her shoulder.

We understand each other more each passing day.

We are different in a lot of ways but then

We are a like in many as well.

She is who I call when I need to vent.

She is who I call when I'm in a bind.

It's called.....

"Best Friends"

This is to my Cousin Sharon, my Friend, my pal, my crafting buddy, my encouragment and cheering me on as I make my journey down this Crafty road one more time, my biggest fan, my running buddy. She has given me advise and lead the way for me many times as we grew up together. She has taught me so many things and stills continues to do so and she doesnt even know it.

I so love you My cousin, my "Best Friend" Thanks for all you do for me!

love,

Tinkerbell

School's out for Summer

Welcome to the School's out for Summer Blog Hop.
I want to first thank Jessica and Nancy for allowing me to be a part of this Hop.

If you are coming from Jess then you are on the right Track and making your last stop here. If you just happened by and want to start at the beginning of the Hop please start with Jessica .

Now for my project for this Hop. I made a Paper Bag Mini Album titled Summer Fun.
it consist of 10 pages plus the front and back. It has 3 big pockets to add fun things like the ticket stubs to the Zoo or more picture. All three of these pockets have a pull out to journal on or again add more pictures. It has two small pockets on the inside as well. All the embellishments are hand made. I really loved making this little book. I kept thinking about that first day of school when the teacher asked us to write about our summer vacation and viola' the pages were born lol. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. I would so love to read your comments on what you think of this little mini album. It is also for Sale just email me for info. Thanks and here it is.

The book is made with a #10 Paper Bag. It is larger than a normal lunch sack and measures approx. 6 1/2 x 6

Cuts are from the Cartridge, "A Childs Year"

The Popsicle's were a rectangle and I used a corner Punch to round the edges and then did a free hand center dip
(pop dots used here also)

The clouds are cut from Create a Critter and I used my gypsy to change the shape by stretching it some.

The Sun and the Clouds are cut from Create a Critter and I just changed the size of the clouds to give a variety to it.
The Sun I just added Google Eyes to it to give it a little more character.
Clouds have been raised with pop dots.
