Alaskan Cruise Wordbook



This is an Alaskan Cruise wordbook that I am working on for a friend.  Originally, I made the cruise ship using dark blue, red, and white.  But, as I looked at the ship and the colors, I decided I wanted cooler colors.  I asked for some tips on making the glacier, and received some very good advice.  I ended up using felt to create the glacier.  I used some blue catseye ink around the edges, and some clear glitter to add some shine.

On the pages to the right of the book, I added a glacier and a place to add photos.  On the left hand side of the pages, I just adhered a piece of cardstock.  I like leaving some blank areas in the wordbooks when I make them for other people so they can add their own touch to the books. 

I had fun working on this.  My hubby helped me some, I didn't have a cartridge with a cruise ship so I had to make my own using basic shapes from the cricut, so, I used my hubby's expertise in ships to help me construct this one...I think it turned out pretty cute.  Oh, and not to mention I used the peachy keen faces in the windows...

Thank you for taking a looksie!...Deanna

Wordbook-Princess Aubrey

I must say, I am pretty proud of this book.  I made it for a co-workers granddaughter.  She wanted her name, but also wanted a 'princess' theme.  I gave it a bit of thought, and decided that the very last page should be a little taller than the others and that I wanted to create a 'crown'.  I did this by welding a star and the scalloped edge off of the platin school book cricut cart.  I embossed the start, and I found some Christmas snowflake garland in my stash and thought what a great way to add a little bling to the crown area.  I also trimmed the outter edge with a string of beads.

I am also pretty proud of the flowers that I learned to make this week, so I incorporated them into the first page. 

Thank you for taking a looksie, and I hope you enjoyed.  Please feel free to leave comments and suggestions, all are welcome!

Wordbook-Kathy

This is a wordbook that I created for a co-worker of my mothers.  The papers are from KC&Company.  I used my sizzix to emboss the letters and added some glimmer mist to add some shine.  The flowers are from a stash that I had, and not sure of the brand.  The jewels are from my thrift store finds, which came from a slide bracelet.  I added a little gold wire around the letters, can't really tell from the picture.  I used my cricut to cut the wordbook and .22 chipboard.

Disney Dream Cruise Wordbook


I made this wordbook photo album for a friend of mine who is going on a cruise in a few months.  I used MTC for the Mickey Mouse, Cricut for the lettering, and various papers, etc that I have in my stash.  I think it turned out cute.

Spring Wordbook Photo Album


This is a really sweet Wordbook photo album that features a different springtime character on each page.  The book has a total of seven pages.  I created all of the characters using the cricut cartridge, "stretch your imagination".

This is a wordbook photo album that I worked on for a friend of mine.  She requested the colors to be black, yellow and white.  The  decorative papers were from the Bella Boutique collection, the solid color papers were K&Company.  Ribbons and other doo-dads added as decoratives.

Cancer Survivor Photo Album


This is a photo album that I completed for a friend, who requested a book for a cancer survivor.  All of the pages are some shade of purple.  I used MTC for the cutouts and K&Comapny for the papers.
