More Inspiring Women Spreads

These are the tags for the pockets in one of the Georgia O'Keeffe spreads for my Inspiring Women AB RR for our ICE Group. I had so many pictures of her and her art work that I decided to make some tags to display the pics...I just glazed the tags with some Golden Glazes and then used the same stamp on them that I used on the pages of the book. This is my 1st Georgia O'Keeffe spread...I glazed 4 pages and then folded the 2 middle pages down and glued them to make pockets for the tags...I stamped (just a little foam stamp that I like, not sure where I got it...one of my bargain stamps!) then I used some border stickers that I got at Big Lots (they always have great scrap booking bargains), then I used one of the quotes from Georgia O'Keeffe at the bottom right...just click on the pic and you can read it...
This is the 1st page of my AB for the RR...the back ground is Golden Glazes (3 colors.. warm, cool, warm) the yellow dollies are some I got in Santa Fe at a really cool place called "Jack-a-lope", they had all kinds of Mexican paper stuff, great beads and lots of other stuff to numerous to mention...Then I used a little swirly stamp and a portrait stamp by Stampabilities "Woman in Waiting" from Hobby Lobby (On sale of course.. lol..) The lettering is made from some foam alphabet stamps highlighted with markers...I got some new markers at Sam's the other day they are made by Bic and they are permanent ink...but they are pastel colors...been experimenting with them a little...nice colors. I added some colored rhinestones around the dollies...you know I just have to have a little "glitz". The fringe at the bottom is a little ribbon trim with sequins as the fringe...it was perfect for this page. I am working on my other spreads, should have mailed today...but my room mate Susan, fell at Band Practice and broke her wrist, yesterday so I am running a little behind. Awwwhhhaaahhh don't you just love Life 101?

love the trim and the doiles... I just bought these same bic permanent markers at Walgreens of all places. The work better than the sharpies I have... those don't work for me unless what I am working on is DRY and what are the odds of that I ask you?
