Build an Album, Snowman
I don’t think this can get any cutter than it already is. I used a DCWV current (2011) paper stack for this project.
Recycled materials in this project include the snowman on the front cover, cut from a flat rate box and then painted and embellished.
Many of the interior pages where cut from recycled medium weight chipboard found in paper packs. The lace is up cycled from my collection, along with the buttons.
I used some Crayola air dry clay to cover the inside snowman, I heat set the clay with my heat tool which gave the material a wonderful texture. It is fun to touch it.
Have a great Christmas! Stamp happy and be a blessing.
Some Stamp Happy Projects! Loads of pictures!
A few more pictures of Dorthy that I took of her at a local mall. We really enjoyed our time together, but it was difficult to find a wheelchair. You would think they would be readily available. You would be wrong.
I enjoyed our short trip.
I made the altered clipboard and the post it note holder for friends who will be joining us on Christmas for lunch. I really had a nice time with the concept.
Have a great night, Stamp Happy be a blessing.

Queen Kat on Tuedsay — Star girl
This wonderful stamp is by Kristen Palmer and is available for purchase from Queen Kat stamps.
I colored the image in with my copic markers and use a small piece of plastic bubble wrap to create a more textured back drop.
The card is meant to be simple, yet elegant and I achieved this by using dark rich colors and simple layering. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.
I hope you are all enjoying some down time and fellowship with friends and family. Happy Holidays, Stamp happy be a blessing.
A visit with Dorthy — Adoption Reunion Chronicles
Hi everyone!
Mike and I made a quick trip down to Alabama to visit my birthmother and some of the family.
One of the gifts I bought for my birth mother was some makeup, she had wanted some and I went all out. I purchased a nice set of makeup from Estee Lauder from my Post Exchange. It was a great price and she loved it.
I know this sounds kinda Corny, but this was the first time we have ever spent my birthday together. That part was kinda weird and wonderful all at the same time.
It was so good to see so many for lunch at Ryan’s in Dalton, Ga. I have to admit that the trip from Dawson to Dalton takes about one and a half hours. Dorthy has a loud voice. By time we got her home, I had a screaming headache and we still had another two hours to travel.
Count it up, three hours round trip with Dorthy and another two hours, well, that is five hours total in a car in one day.
We stayed at the Radisson in Huntsville, Al. The hotel is in much need of some renovations, it was dated, but having a sleep number bed was a plus. Might just need to buy us one.
Have a great day, will post tomorrow with some stampy projects I’ve worked on.
Stamp Happy and be a blessing!
queen Kat, What Lies Beneath by Kristin Palmer
I made this beautiful card using the What Lies Beneath by Kristin Palmer. It can be purchased at the Queen Kat website.
It is a 5 1/2″ square card. I layered the pieces at a diamond angle for more interest. I colored the image with my copic marker’s and then using some light blue glitter and crystal effects put dots on the focal image to look like water. I also used wire that I curled and flowers from Recollections.
To finish off this project, I used some clear dew drops and some ribbon for added interest.
