It is GOOD to be BACK...and I HAVE NEWS....Many THANKS to Memory Makers Magazine!!!

I have missed you guys. I have tried to stay in touch with some of you during our move and re-settlement in our new residence. I hope you all are having a great spring. I am up for some new projects and hopefully we will do some exciting things in the next few months.

I was published for the first time in Memory Makers Magazine. Here is the cover for the May/June Issue available at newsstands, bookstores, and their website.

Here is the page I submitted for "Mother's Day" of my Great Grandmother, Martelia Clementine Trent Fox. I never knew her, but my mother did and had nothing but wonderful stories about her.

Sweet Slumber

This layout reminds me of wintertime, when all of God's creation slumbers for a spell, only to awaken refreshed and renewed! Just as we slumber, to awaken refreshed and renewed.

Rejoice with me in RENEWAL!!!!

Crop Addict Lyrics Challenge

I just learned how to make these wonderful pinwheel flowers! They are so easy after you get the hang of it. Just make circles and fold in half. Then fold the circle sides up toward the flat side. Make sure you overlap in the same direction for each petal. Make sure you use double sided paper and ink for dimension. Glue them down on a circle and you have your flower.

The Layout that was REJECTED, boo hoo

So sad to be rejected, but in this business it happens! You gotta let it roll and get back to scrapping for the love of art!!

Early Embroidery Work

I used brads to write my dad a message in Braille. He loved it. Every page has something tactile on it to help him remember what was on each page. The front has this old skeleton key which was to remind him the key between us was "A girl NEEDS her Daddy!" We had lots of fun with this little book and it forged a great memory of both the making and the giving of it.

Father's Day






Mother's Day

This was a Mother's Day project for my dear Mother. I made pages for every child, grandchild, and greatgrandchild in a standup booklet form. Everyone, son in law, and grandson in law, was put into this album with their baby pictures. She just loved it and to this very day has it on display. It is designed to be able to turn to any page and display that baby.

This is a page I made for the congregational birthdays for the month of August. I usually make one page a month for them to display all the birthdays and anniversaries.

Baby to Bride

This was a 2 page layout challenge using
multiple photos.
