Game Night



For my BFF's 50th birthday in January, I wanted to make something a little bit special.

I purchased the Game Night Tutorial from Paper Phenomenon.  It was fun to make and although I decided not to make it as an actual playable game, I put in game pieces and fake money etc, just for fun.

I printed various photos from Andrea's life-to-date and popped them in the pockets.  I haven't shown them here for privacy reasons (and I didn't actually take photos of them anyway, lol) 
On the backof each photo I put appropriate comment such as "Becoming a Grandmother - Priceless" and "A Boozy Girls Night - $200 fine" etc.






I will share another project soon.  Meantime ....

Take Care, 
Esther

Project Showtime - Part 1

I have totally fallen in love with the projects that Kathy (Orta) King produces on her site - Paper Phenomenon.

I have purchased several of her tutorials and friends and family are getting good at giving me money for tutorials as gifts, bless them.

Today, I want to share with you the very first of Kathy's projects that I made.  Talk about jumping in at the deep end!   What was I thinking???

I chose to make the Vintage Camera and you can get the .pdf tutorial here.




It is a very long way from perfect and the making of the folded bellows almost did me in completely but it was fun and got me really hooked!

I will be back soon with another proect to share with you.  Meantime ....

Take Care, 
Esther
