Wallhanging for Stella

Here is a wallhanging I just completed for my great-niece, Stella. I have been spending some time lately on Pinterest and came across this beautiful wallhanging from the designers at Maya Road. Take a look at  mayaroad.typepad.com. I decided to give the idea a try. I found some wonderful ready made embellishments at Jo Anne Fabric Store. The "Family" and "Love" words came from the Heidi Grace Tweet Memories collection. The rest was hand cut and sew from scraps I had around and sewn onto a pillow case that belonged to my mother.

Welcome

Welcome to the first post on my new blog. I am hoping to share with you here what I am doing with my art. Since I like to try so many new things you will be seeing lots of different media and techniques as well as links to other bloggers from whom I have gotten inspiration.
Let's start with my newest scrapbook page, since it is all about ME. After making so many pages about trips and family I have decided lately to spend a little more time  devoted to scrapping ME. I want to tell MY story. This seems to be good place to begin my blog. My inspiration for this page came from Rahel Menig. If you like what I did here you should take a look at http://swissgirldesigns.com to get more inspiration. I love her clean white background and spattered paint. I used paper from one of my favorite collections, K & Co. Que Sera Sera. The photo...I don't want to even tell you when that was taken, suffice it to say, quite a while back. But as the title says, in my mind I am still only 25.
Hope to see you here again soon to explore my creative side.
