DOUBLE EXPOSURE
by Suzee Gallagher
This dream-like scrapbook page by Suzee Gallagher reflects her love of photography (she used an old doubleexposed print of a friend), her eye for color and design, and her willingness to experiment with unusual materials (the transparency is framed by electrician’s tape). Learn more about Suzee and see additional samples of her scrapbook pages and other artwork on page 35.

Below are some of our great articles and projects from Legacy, Summer 2004.
Creating with Debbie Crouse
7gypsies artist and designer Debbie Crouse is never at a loss for creative ideas. She's forever improvising, turning an old clipboard into a clever frame or adding junk-drawer finds to the spine of a journal. In this profile by author Erin Trimble, Debbie shares a few of her innovative projects for you to create yourself.

Wisdom Journals
You'll fall in love with Kari Barrera's romantic journals. With their silk flowers, lush ribbons, and beautiful papers, these journals are elegant keepsakes for a mother to pass along words of wisdom to future generations.

A Time to Heal
Most stories about preemies are never told, let alone made the subject of scrapbook pages, says artist Mary Walby. So Mary created "Life Defined by Preemies," a collection of page layouts and journaling tools dedicated to the parents of premature babies. Her pages have touched the hearts of these parents, who appreciate her capturing those "soft moments" when they first bond with their little ones, "even if it was through the isolette glass."

Readers Reveal their 'True Colors'
In the autumn 2003 issue of Legacy, we invited our readers to create a self-portrait in keeping with the spirit of "True Colors: A Palette of Collaborative Art Journals." Here are the colorful results, and you can see the rest of the wonderful portraits on this website by clicking here.
