I am currently in the air on my way to NYC! But Ali graciously said she loved my tutorial on making a Starbucks cup album and posted it on her blog today! So head over there and take a look! I asked a few amazing friends to make the project just to show some different perspective and here is what they did! Please click on each of their pictures to see their blogs...(and fantastic work) and then you can click here to go the flicker gallery to see all the albums... really inspiring!
Oh, and just to celebrate a bit, leave me a comment and you can win a fantastic box of Making Memory goodies...

Love the mini album...even more, I love the Bible verse on your sidebar. I pray this for myself, my family, and my friends almost every day. I know the Lord has used these words to strengthen me in the tough times. So happy I found you through Ali's blog!
Wilna, Always love your ideas and your work! This album is so great! I may have to actually try it. Have a great time in NYC.
Here for the 1st time from Ali and I will be back for sure! I love the Starbucks album, how fun.
What a cute idea! I think I'll make one for my Mom, for the times she takes her granddaughters to Starbucks!! Thanks for sharing!
I've been to S.Africa twice!! Beautiful country, beautiful people!!
I loved your tutorial today; it made me smile; things here not so good; my dad had a bone marrow biopsy today and we are waiting to hear if he has leukemia or lymphoma; please pray for him, his name is Manuel. I look forward to reading your blog everyday and enjoy the creativity and love the bible verses you choose. They help me to pray and focus on what is really important that day.
God Bless you and your family.
love,
Rosa.
