Altered Book

I have been invited to be the guest teacher at the Treasured Memories Weekend Crop in October! I truly feel honored...Treasured Memories is well known for their amazing teachers and their talent. Here are some pictures of the first book I sent them as a sample. I am planning to make two or three more so everybody gets a chance to see what an altered book is all about and also how important it is to make it "your own". I look forward to see so many friends in Lafayette!

Prima Fabric Album Class

Last Saturday I taught the Prima Fabric Album @ Paper Niche. It was so much fun! They got to play with Gesso, acrylic paints, watercolors, modeling paste, flowers, eyelets, buttons, felt, and so much more!

Random pages

I had fun making one-pages! I also taught a cricut class last night and show them how to make a cute Candy Store using My Community cartridge. They loved it! I love Mondays.... a day of new beginnings.

Moroccan Night at Paper Niche

Tonight we had a Moroccan Feast at Paper Niche. The food was fabulous! From Greek salad to Baklava for dessert. I made this layout filled with Middle Eastern colors. Everyone loved it! I also made "Penelope" out of a new paper pad I bought at Jo Ann fabrics last night. The colors are bright and "happy". I made her flowers out of chipboard, modeling paste and water colors. Her necklace is made out of leather and metal findings. Gine made a very pretty page with a new line of Christmas papers. Mariangella wore bead necklaces made by her kids. She looked gorgeous! Imagine the love she carried around her neck... and I could see her kid's smiling faces when they see the picture of their mommy wearing what they made just for her. This was probably my last crop for now because I am planning to leave South Florida sometime around August 24. I hope I can come back often! I have met so many wonderful people lately. The Lord has really blessed me with each one of them. My heart's desire and prayer lately has been for Him to teach me to love others just as He has loved me. I will treasure our crop weekends at Paper Niche forever!!!
