Madeline by Audrey Yeager. Supplies: Paper: Basic Grey, Jenny Bowlin, Cardstock:  Creative Imaginations, Gemstones: Glitz, Letters: American Crafts, Glitter: Ranger.

Journaling:  You were a bit scared at first to go on this train ride.  But once we got going, and the wind was blowing through your hair and the train was blowing its whistle, you had a blast!  June 2008.

Design note: The vellum paper is printed with a design that I scanned from a piece of clothing!  The pattern is from a black and white skirt. I scanned it, and then printed it on my printer on vellum.  The journaling circle is actually the scalloped border paper.  I cut a circle through the photo and the pink patterned paper to expose the lines of the background paper.  The butterflies are cut from another piece of patterned paper.

The Hearts of Boldt Castle by Audrey Yeager. Supplies: Paper, journaling tag, sticker letters, heart tag and sticker: Sassafras Lass, Ribbon: Target, Michaels, Hinge: Oriental Trading Company, Other: transparencies, acrylic paint.

Journaling:  The story of George Boldt and his life and tragedies is Heart breaking.  But it is also so inspiring to see how much he loved his wife and what he did for her.  I will try to put my heart into everything I do for you.

Design note: The side bar with the hearts flips open to expose more photos and pieces of the brochure from the castle. In the title, the “Boldt Castle” logo is from the brochure.  I glued it to chipboard and inked the edges. Below the photos is another piece of information from the brochure.  I cut the edges with decorative scissors and inked them.  I used transparencies and cut out heart shapes (free-hand), then painted them with pink acrylic paint to make them stand out more.
