Handmade Album - Zoom (Allen's Hot Rods)

I finished up this album featuring the fantastic cars my brother in law -Allen gives "birth" to - It is truly is a birth process - I see this rusty ole buckets sitting in his shop and then I will either see pictures or get to see in person the fantastic transformations that he makes.  My boys are not around cars much so they don't have much to say about cars until they see "Uncle Honey's Hot Rods"  The pictures don't do justice to the real thing. I researched advertisements from every year on each car and made embellishments that matched to the year. The tabs on each page give the year of the car and the envelope has a piece of cardstock that allows all the details of the car to be written in and has room for extra pictures of before, during and after the transformation to be stored.  The cover is actually metal which allowed me to make magnets from some Tim Holz stamps and the facing page is an ad from a 1932 Sear's catalog for Craftsman Power Tools which I distressed with ink before gluing it down.  And yes those little "mini" petal cars you see in the photos were made by Allen as well for his Grandson Matthew and his Granddaughter Stella. 

Farewell Miss Art's!

Such sad news... Miss Art's is closing - Loved having spent several months soaking up all the creative inspiration from the wonderful guests teaching amazing techniques.  Lisa Valentine & Julie Winks both teach in such a unique manner and I have begun following both thru their blogs but I have to admit I got spoiled being able to log on and get inspiration from not only the teachers but the other members.  I hope Alisha has plans to move on to bigger and better scrapbooking adventures because she is such a great instructor as well.
