I have been AWOL from the gallery lately - I wish I could relate an exotic story about frolicking in some tropical paradise, but it has just been a case of too many "have to does" and too few "want to does". I know that this altered book appears to have nothing to do with our theme of keeping cool, but it really does fit...and I don'T even have to cheat. It also works for the CTO316 "where your heart is". I love my perfectly temperature controlled local library. The air conditioning is amazing...I wish they had sleep overs. The book that I used to make this altered book came from the library where they sell all used books for 25cents.
I always make very elaborate cards for my sons' birthdays, but I needed something extra special for my older son's 21st birthday. On the back of the book I have a lot of room to write about how proud we are, how much we love him, and to add my fav. quote..." When I took the leap I feared I would fall. Instead I learned I could fly". This is so perfect for someone turning 21.

This is over the top out of this world, Francie! It's like Harry Potter & Disney all in one. I just don't have the words to describe it..but I LOVE it!

WOW! Francie, you never fail to impress! This is just amazing and so clever. Your son will surely appreciate all the work that went into this and I'm sure it will be a forever keepsake.

Wow, how stunning! From texture to dimension, there's so many exquisite details to focus on. I love the colors, love the inspiration and how perfectly all the elements fit together. All I can say is ... Wow! (again).
