"Kathy Cano Murillo strikes us as one of those people who, stranded on a desert island with nothing but a volleyball, a deck of playing cards and some coconuts, would not only craft a rescue vehicle and distress signal but whip up a spiffy castaway-themed wardrobe to wear as she did so. And she would be having a great time. And so would you. Visit the Arizona Republic contributor's site to get the craft fever yourself."

Glittericious Mixed Media Address Book



Altering photo albums and address books are my latest obsession thanks to Alyson at Duncan. Her mission for me was to create a project using Aleene's Paper Glaze. Can you imagine all the ideas that popped in my head? I couldn't pinpoint one, without changing my mind.

All I can say is thank goodness for grocery shopping! There I was at Fry's Marketplace, loading y cart with milk and other family staples when I cruised through the office supply section. I came across and a display of lonely looking address books. Who buys address books at the grocery store? Right at that moment I had a vision of this boring book tricked out in glitter, pictures and other shiny objects. My life hasn't been the same since. Not only did I make the above book, I've also been whipping out photo albums too (scroll down this blog to see the latest ones).

I think you need to make one too.
Here are the directions from DuncanCrafts.com!
Here is the link to buy the images I used from ArtChixStudio.com

See how happy I look with it? Ahhh, life is good...
