Mostly done with Club Scrap Safari kit. I also used 'Out of Africa' stamp set from Stampin' Up, UM stamps from Club Scrap, Gelatins alphabets, fuzzy rub-ons, and lots of doodling.
I stripped an ugly pink 8 X 8 album and covered it with handmade paper. I used a suede animal print paper for the inside cover of the album - I have had this paper for at least ten years now! The mask on the album cover is also handmade with extra thick card stock, acrylic paints and lots of patience!
I have left the journaling blank for Lily to fill in later.

Lily's school has been helping the Tala School in Kenya. The students and teachers had been busy knitting for months. They made seventy blankets for the dormitories in Tala - students who live very far away return home only on the weekends. Donations helped pay for whitewashing the schoolrooms, other miscellaneous improvements and building ramps for wheelchair access.
In October the children who piloted this project went to Kenya to meet the students of the Tala school. There, apart from a lot of activities involving both schools, the students had a very special project that they were excited about. Lily & her schoolmates divided themselves into groups. Each group then painted a mural in each classroom. Lily's group painted the Hong Kong skyline and it turned out fantastic! I decided to award it the first prize ... lol!
