Valentine Project

Here is a cute Valentine project I made from an old board book that the kids no longer read. I added vintage valentines from http://fairydavis.com/ and Bible verses. Here are the results...

Here is the first page

And page two

Page three

The forth and fifth pages also have the verses hidden on a tag iside a pocket. I did
not photograph them, but feel free to look them up

Cheap Storage

I purchased these window shutters at an antique store. I painted several layers of acrylic paint on them and then embellished them simply with BasicGrey pattern paper (Infuse line) and a few buttons. I adhered two cup hooks on both and they are finished. Each "fold" works as a mini sleeve and will hold scraping items very well.. You can put as few or as many items as you like on them. Currently I am using mine as a photo divider. Then I can see the photos I have rather than having to dig in a file for them.

FREE Photo Editing Software

There is so much on the web for photo editing. I have tried and love two FREE photo "editors". The first is The Gimp. It is similar to Photoshop. It can do just about anything. It can be accessed at http://gimp.org/ Now, for those looking for something a little more simple but equally as cool check out Picasa. I found this in the latest addition of Scrapstreet Magazine. I got software from http://picasa.google.com/ I have a few examples of the cool effects. For more check out Scrapstreet page 49 of the January issue. http://scrapstreet.com/
