	I co-hosted an Artfest Journal party for friends who are going to Artfest 2006. We got together and made ourselves journals for the trip. This is mine, which I made for a sample. I laminated the cover with my swanky new professional Xyron so it would be really durable.
Everyone brought their Zeti stamps (to share) to art up their journals so we have cool pages to write on. I am pleased with how mine came out and I love combining red, purple and orange together!
	I had so much fun making a journal for myself, I thought it would be fun to make one for my friend Deb Trotter. I secretly put it in the mail to her and she was really surprised when she got it! Of course, since Deb is Cowboy's Sweetheart, I had to do a Western theme! These are the "Art Police"!
This is the back cover of Deb's Artfest journal. I used vintage ephemera and some antique style paper from Foofala. I love Foofala papers! Happy journaling Deb!
	A gift made for my friend DJ.
Another journal made as a gift for Deb, our Artfest roomie.
	Some teeny notebooks I made as Artfest trades.
Another Artfest trade. I love this one-it cracks me up!

A thank you gift for TIna Catspaw. I just love the paper from Cosmo Cricket!

The front cover of the journal I've made to take to Artfest 2007. I created the cover and section dividers from postcards that came in the registration package.
	The original cover of the registration package book is now a section divider.
I also wanted to include the packaging that the whole thing came in, so I managed to punch holes in it and include it was a page. I love the comic book stamps!

Decos

Gram's Deco

Once I finished Dee's book, I decided to make a notebook journal for my Gram for Xmas. This paper was so gorgeous and it is embossed. When I saw it, it made me think of her so I had to use it.

Annemarie's Deco

One more deco flip book, this one for a dear quilting friend. I added some dangly stuff to the rings before I gave it to her, but forgot to scan it. Oops!

Pieces of the Past

This is my first deco for a swap. I really didn't know what I was doing. It went to Leandra Franich in the UK.
