for the ScrapStars Handmade Holiday challenge

www.scrapstars.net

come play!!

an 8×10 made for my son’s 2nd grade teacher, it will be put into a frame and given to her at the class Christmas party. i scanned it rather than putting it in the frame because it’s too dark to take a pic and it looks better with detail!

scripture is NIV translation of Mark 10:14 — “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the Kingdom of God.”

this is another one that is an 8×10 for the frames i am hanging on the wall in his bedroom — man is 8×10 HARD to work with (and you’d think there wasn’t much difference between 8×10 and 8.5×11 but you sure miss those extra couple inches!!!)

another page for my friend Autumn

i wanted to include more, because she has so many pictures from this Prom, but i guess i will just have to do a series! i wanted to find a nice way to incorporate the Prom program-thingy… i added the tabs to the side to give it a little flair… i think i would have been able to do more w/ this page if not for that little detail!!

also did two things w/ this page that i haven’t done in a LONG LONG time — inking edges & using flowers! well maybe not SO long on the flowers… but i think we need to bring ink back! i almost forgot i had it!!
