Portraits and Papers 2011. You can check out her site on my blog list below. It has been fun so far. I have so many "papers" like so many of you I am sure so this is a good way to use it. This is a collage and acrylic paint. I have to refine it a bit and I have some more things to do to it.

Well here are my keepsake folders I made for my Etsy shop.

They were a lot of fun to make. They make great whimsical gifts with a purpose!

I have been busy with these fun projects...

This is a drawing in an old sketchbook I rediscovered when I braved going down to my workshop in the cold constant rain yesterday.

This is how my project began and with an article/DIY in Cloth, Paper, Scissors magazine, the last issue I believe or maybe it was January/Feb issue. This is a regular manilla folder (not really pink). It was folded and sewn and collage and stamped.

I made 5 more of these. I hope to get them into my Etsy shop. Obviously I have to get better photos!

I have also signed up for Jane DesRosier's new class Portraits and Paper Collage. I always enjoy and get so much from her classes. I hate to say it but she really does not charge enough for all you get from them! Here is her link
