MISS SUNSHINE

This is a layout that I did of a photograph that was taken of my daughter in 1993, when she was nine.   
Liz is a ray of sunshine, so this PRIMA collection, called "Sun Kissed" seemed perfect here. 
Techniques used were hand stitching, inking, border punching, stamping, painting and paper curling.

STEAMPUNK NOTEPAD AND PEN HOLDER

This is a little notepad and pen holder created in a steampunk style. I have to give credit to my freind, DEE DEE ROE, for putting my name on this little project for THE CRAFTY SCRAPPER design team. Awesome choice, Dee Dee!!! 
In my sack of goodies was this little Wendy Vecchi Art Parts kit called, "Cake Stand". It is most likely intended to be a cupcake stand, but I had to come up with something other than what the photo on the packaging shows.

SING YOUR OWN SONG

This is a creation for THE CRAFTY SCRAPPER DESIGN TEAM in Waxahachie, Texas. The photo is of my daughter, Elizabeth, who sings like a bird. 
Techniques used in this layout  were inspired by the flow of music, and curling paper seemed the perfect way to express this.  Also flowing are the SCRAP FX chipboard and the MAYA ROAD zipper flower.  
Other Techniques used were border punching, inking, hand stitching and machine stitching.
