I printed the text on the paint chip after I glued the two postage stamps on. While the ink was still wet, I embossed using both turquoise and gold embossing powder. I added photo corners to the photo to complete the page.

I used magazine images and a photo of Joseph on this spread. I used a fine tipped felt pen for the journaling. I don't think felt tipped pens are good for journaling.

This is another page I ran through my printer and embossed. The photo sticks slightly away from the page because I used pop dots. I rubber stamped the frame because I thought the page needed something else. I don't print small well, so "Hollywood" was a real challenge.

These are both photos that I attached with photo corners.

I printed the journaling and embossed it using black embossing powder, then stamped the "subway train" and embossed it in gold.

A few weeks ago, I tried a technique where you squiggle colored sharpies on plain paper, then add rubbing alcohol to move the ink around. Well, it didn't work, but it still made a great background for this colorful restaurant.

I planned to add the chop sticks after I assembled the book (due to bulk), but forgot them in my haste to get the book out the door.

I took this photo of Joseph in a restaurant. If you click to enlarge the photo, you'll see scratches on it. Bleubeard used his photo as a scratching post!!

I couldn't believe that I found two pictures in two different magazines that were exactly the same. I placed the small one in a slide mount that I painted using my gold leafing pen.
