I Have a Dream Blog Hop - Post 2 of 3

Happy Sunday!  Welcome to my second day of projects all centered around having dreams.  So, as I stated yesterday, my projects are focused on helping my children obtain their career dreams.  Today, I'm featuring projects that I completed for my two youngest children.  Caleb is my "Dino Expert" and Danita is my artist. 
Caleb had started creating this book and asked me to bind the pages into his "Dino Expert" field guide.  So...I don't have a Cinch or a Bind It All so I used my big Momma of a binding machine to bind his book.  I used the Birthday Cake cartridge that I got at Michael's for $9.99 to make the dinosaurs and the tracks that are on the book.  His name and the titles were cut from the Life's a Beach cartridge.  He drew the pictures and wrote the names while we were at my Mom's for Christmas.

Now Danita's project is an altered sketch book. Danita battles autism and the one thing she likes to do a lot of is draw.  She's actually a great artist and I can't wait to see where she goes with her ability.  I took a sketch book that I had and covered it with a piece of paper from the Untamed Safari collection in her favorite color.  I then simply adhered ribbon to the top and top a bow.  Then, using the Birthday Cake cartridge, I cut out a princess.  She loves princesses.  I embossed the dress using the divine swirls Cuttlebug folder and added silver Stickles.  I cut out her name using the same cartridge and added Stickles to embellish her name.  While looking for something else, I found a princess Cuttlebug die cut that I hadn't used.  It was perfect for this project so I cut and emboss a princess and added her to the cover.  I know Danita is going to love this when I give it to her.

Well, that's all.  Happy scrappin'!
