Prom 2010 altered book






I made this memory book for my son's girlfriend. I used a board book that I bought at the dollar store and covered with cardstock. I used patterned paper and ribbons where the pages met to cover the seam. I cut the titles for the pages using my cricut.

Word Book





I made this word book with my Cricut. I love my Cricut! My cousin and her granddaughter came to visit us and my little cousin loved the desert. I made this book for her and put in pictures we took of the desert while she was here.
















Birthday Gift


I made these altered letters for my cousin as a birthday present. They are so fun to make and the best part is sanding the edges.... very relaxing. Everything on the letters represents something about my cousin, favorite colors, what I think of when I think of her, what is important to her. It's hard to see in the picture but there are small wooden clothes pins so she can put up picutres of her sone and grand-nieces. There are also charms hanging from the letters. I had a great time searching for thing to personalize these for her.

inspiration for my blog name


I love Mary Engelbreit designs and always find inspiration from her work. And the quotes she uses are wonderful. This is one is the inspiration for the name of my blog. My friend Vicki said I should name my blog "Ask Lorraine" because she says I always know the answers to questions about crafting, especially tools and supplies to use. Being able to answer my friends' questions is simply a sign that I spend too much time on the internet.
