Kenny's new grill

This was my brainchild.  Even though the guy that cut it says he takes credit, and the guy that welded it says he takes the credit.  I say without my artistic abilities neither of them would be able to do anything.  But men are, well, men.  They overrode me and made some of the spiders red, and where they placed them makes the car look like it has Boobs!  Try to make something classy and they muck it up and think it is wonderful.  Well Kenny I hope you like it.

White Baby Book

 First page I laid down some double sided tape so mom could just pull it off and lay the photo down.
 Then on this one I made some photo corners that hold the pictures on the next two pages
 I was not very fond of the photo corners, but those little flowers were the cutest.  I cut them with my cutter and then folded them to make the flower.
 The frame has an opening at the top to insert the photo.  I embossed the letters by hand.
 All those curly things were very hard to highlight with ink, but with the pages being all white, they would be hard to see.
 Here you can see that I incorporated a different kind of photo corner.  I got these cuttings files off the site of http://www.birdscards.com/ all her stuff is free.
 Again with the hand embossing, it got to be quite uncomfortable doing that.  I glued down flat beads on the flowers.

 Here is a page I did one night while we were in the hotel room and I was watching Bob sleep.
The grass and flowers at the bottom of this page is behind a piece of transparency, so I could use them as a pocket to place much more photos.

 More cutting glued onto transparencies.

 LOL these flowers look like bubbles, but they do actually have stems.  I wonder why I failed to ink them?

 This is a very dainty page, I have an enlargement of ink further down.  I glued alot of the tiny beads on this page.

 Here is the enlargement of the edging of the dainty pages.
 I also added little inserts that mom could journal into about the details of her baby.
 AAARGH!  More hand embossing.  I think this was Hotel work too.



 I did not have an embosser so the pages with embossing I did myself. This is just the enlargement of a page previously.
 I thought these flowers on the first page were awesome so I took a closer picture of them and the ones below of another page.
