This album is not my most recent album (I still have to take the photos of that one) but it is recent. I did this one last year. I had a ton of butterfly photos from visiting conservatories in D.C. and Key West and a couple that I took on a nature trail here in Fort Myers. So I wanted to dedicate an album to these photos. I used the Mariposa paper collection by DCWV because I thought it was perfect. I have been wanting to do a portrait oriented album for a while now. This is the first one that I have ever done. I was satisfied with the way this album turned out and it was a lot of fun. I used poems and quotes about butterflies that I found online. (Don't forget to click on the images to get a larger view)

It's been so long since I posted. Since James and I moved into the new house I've been busy. I have pictures of some of my recent projects and my not so recent projects that I am just now getting around to putting up. Below is a family album that I did about 31/2 to 4 years ago. It was an idea that I got from a perfume bottle box. I redesigned it and produced it on a larger scale. The idea was to show how each side of our families have been brought together through our marriage. I call this my Family Box Album.
