Dee's Alaskan Cruise - Cheryl's Acrylic Album

Cheryl's class featured the technique of metal embossing.  This was a new technique for me - for Marge and Terry too. We were challenged and laughing at ourselves.  You can read more about metal embossing on Cheryl's blog.

I finished the base of the book on the cruise.  I kept thinking  about what I wanted to capture - what pictures and what embellishments I wanted to include. I was trying to figure out how I was going to get my whole cruise adventure into my album. It just was not going to fit.... and then, I heard Marge say she was going to use her album for her creative journey. I thought that was a great idea! Thanks Marge!! I  decided to capture the classes, the learnings, the fun, the teachers, and my new crafting buds!  I could not get all my new crafting buds in the album.  I also wanted to capture the Art101 class I attended and watching a professional artist, Tim Yanke, in action.

I narrowed my pictures down to 40, to 25, to the 12 I printed, and finally to the 10 I put in the book. whew!  That is one of the reasons it took me so long to get this post up.

        

Did you notice my le boo boo?  I put the alphabet up-side-down on my back cover...I was bummed at first, but quickly switched to embracing my right to artistic creativity and the uniqueness of my albumn.  :o)

I have a few more projects to finish.  As I finish them, I'll post them.  To see all the projects from the cruise, select the category Travel.

If you ever get (take) the opportunity to go on a crafting cruise, go!!  It is sooooo much fun!! 

Take care and STAY POSITIVE!
