4th of July

I was in Seattle Washington on 4th of July 2016.  It is nice city to visit, but the air was pretty chilly to me especially in the evening. I used gesso, and modeling paste through Heidi Swapp's cursive stencil, Heartfelt Creation Poppy flowers, leaves and stars from Sizzic die, Also, I had a chipboard swirl from Creative Embellishments.

Crafty friends

This me and my friend, Vicki.  I took a mix media class thinking that I thought I was going learn a lot, but it wasn't much I learned.  I changed my layout to make it my own.  I used my Cricut die-cutting machine and cut out a sewing machine.  My embellishments included flowers,  a heart, a trim, buttons, a spoon of thread, a need,etc. 


My daughter attending a wedding.



My layout is of my daughter who attend one of her best friend's wedding.  This mixed media  layout was Paper's People facebook page front header for the day.  I was inspired by Marilyn Rivera.  I used on this layout paper butterflies of one of the dies of Tim Holtz, Finnabair Art Stones, sequins, lace, flowers, etc
