It's an adventure from every angle. This beautiful star is a mini scrapbook, ready for additional photos and memories. My dear friend and stamper extraordinaire, Karren Reda, created it for me as a special gift to honor my sister-in-law, who passed away recently.
I adore the pencil.
Wonderful fix of stamp images and texture.
The birdhouse. My favorite angle.
Clever color combos.
Delicious details.
Such a hoot 🙂
Beautiful butterfly . . . but the sentiment grabs my attention right away.

Wow! What a great gift, and what a special friend to make such a wonderful gift!! Does Karren have a blog so we can see more of Karren’s artistic ideas, or is it possible to get the instructions for this Star album from her.

SO fun! Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful idea, a memory scrapbook and tribute… and so gorgeous to boot!
Amazing work! It shows how much love she put into this little album for you. Truly a gift of love! So inspiring.
Beautiful!!!
Gorgeous! Does your talented guest stamper have a tutorial on how to make it or is there one, somewhere in blog land, available so that I could try to make a star scrapbook, too?
GORGEOUS! Is there a tutorial for this star scrapbook? I’d love to be able to make one, too!
I am also fortunate to have received one of Karren’s inspirational star albums. I have been lucky to be one of Karren’s best friends over the past 40+ years and introduced her to rubber stamping. She has totally surpassed me with her creativity and talent. She is the most giving person I have the honor to know. Congratulations Karren! Another masterpiece. Mary, what a wonderful way to remember your sister-in-law. Trisha
Mary: What an amazing gift you received. The entire album is BEAUTIFUL. Would love it if you posted Karen’s blog – what a talented stamper. Thanks for sharing your amazing gift.
Mom, you are amazing!! She has made many of these over the years and they get better and better! She’s an inspiration!!
I have the honor of being the bff of Karren, and second to that, the recipient of many of these thoughtful masterpieces over the years. Her amazing talent is a close second to her generous spirit.
