I am locked away in my hotel room in New Orleans, Iced In. Luckily I snapped some photos of my project before I left so I can blog while I am away. I was supposed to fly in today.
My kids have discovered iphoneography. And I have discovered they have an eye. They love to hang out a ranch behind or subdivision and one day they came home with scores of photos they took. I printed them out and some of them were really stunning (they are 9 and 11). I wanted to create a book they could put these in and give to the ranch owners who have all but adopted them. I made the book, and my daughter is designing and putting together the pages. The book is nothing more than a paper bag album I created, I used the cardboard found in calendars when you buy them to create a cover and spine. For the cover, I used my twinkly water colors to color in the black and white graffiti print. I used the little chalkboard embellishment for the cover, and stenciled the Art Is Fact saying from the Artifacts Kit (February 2009). I let Phoenix work on the inside pages. She's still working but she got a good start.
Now hop on over to Debby's blog and check out her creation. And if you stumbled upon my blog you can start from the beginning at Club Scraps Blog.

Glad you made them something so neat to display their photos!
What a wonderful collaboration. And you are correct, the kiddos indeed seem to have an amazing eye. The neighbors are going to treasure that little book. Nice job! I hope you'll be able to travel soon . . . be safe!

Shona, I love this project - it is such a nice gift to give your neighbors. The black and white photos really go well with the rest of the kit and make for a great album. Thanks for sharing!
I hope you have made it home safely and to warm surroundings. I travel to Boston next week and hope to arrive there and back with no delays, it is the nature of the beast.
