Latest Project...

So yesterday I promised I would post photos of Hubby's birthday presents! First I thought I would show you a photo of my scrapping room. I am not sure if it was because I was not feeling well or if I have just become a messy scrapper - but I was shock when I walked out of my scrapping room, and then walked back in and saw the mess! (No wonder the cop was wondering if someone had broken into my house the night the security alarm went off!) LOL Normally I am so annal and neat when I work but not this day!!! (Remember you can click on the photos to get a larger image.)

So for Hubby's present this year, I decided to make a word book that spells "home". I mean what are you suppose to send someone overseas? He doesn't need anything, and when asked what he wants he replied nothing. So?!?! What's a girl to do?

Thus here is photo of the front of the completed book.

This is a photo of the inside - the backside of the "h" and the front side if the "O". I wouldn't really call this a "scrapbook" more of an altered book. For example - I put the saying "There is no place like home" and then I put a metal key. Then on the "O" I put a photo of our house and then I placed a picket fence that I painted white and attached a "service flag" embellishment to it.

Here is the backside of the "O" and the front of the "M" - these pages were dedicated to the pups! The "M" has three dimensional puppy paws walking across it - and then I also used Glimmer Mist" to give the "M" texture and shimmer.

Here is the backside of the "M" and the front of the "E". The "M" side was dedicated to places here in GA that we have been. The "E" was all about my hubby's favorite pass time - hunting!

This is the backside of the "E" and the back page of the book. The "E" side was dedicated to homecomings. Photos from the last three deployments when hubby has come home from overseas. And then the back page is all about "Love".

The paper I used for my back page was "two sided" so it is actually showing though the acrylic back - to make the back cover. (Oh I guess I should say that the actual letters of the book are made from acrylic. I figured that it would hold up better than chipboard would stuffed down in the bottom of a duffel bag!)

Here is a close up of my stick people! I think that they turned out soooo cute!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!

And this is just another view of the book so you can kind of get the just of the dimensional effects of the book!

All in all I think it turned out well and I hope Hubby likes it! Thanks for looking - would love to hear your comments!

Until Next Time!
