My Heart to Keep - a tag book for love notes created for PaperArtsy
Hi friends, today I am on the PaperArtsy blog sharing this project I created for their "With 3 Things" feature. This is where 3 bloggers are sent 3 items in the post. We have no clue what PaperArtsy HQ is going to send us, there might be a slight variation but generally 2 of the 3 things will be identical. For this round, I received PaperArtsy Eclectica3 stamp set ESN11 and PaperArtsy stencil PS092, both by Sara Naumann, as well as PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic Paint in Candy Floss (FF70) and Red Lipstick (FF160). I love that the stamp set has a mixture of stamp designs that can be used to create in so many different styles. Usually as the days close in on the end of a year, I tend to start looking forward to the next. Seeing the hearts and the harlequin stencil design had my mind immediately thinking about getting a jump start on a Valentine's day piece.

count to ten: a collaboration challenge for StencilGirl®
Hi everyone, today I am excited to share a fabric book I created for the most recent StencilGirl® collaboration hosted by Tina Walker. The concept behind this challenge was fairly simple: each artist would: "Create a fabric journal/book that uses StencilGirl® number stencils. It is preferred that the stencils are the highlight of your book, but if you also use them to create wonderful backgrounds, that is a-ok! The preference is that your stencil use is limited to numbers only. Feel free to use fabric paint, sprays, acrylic paint, markers, etc. Your journal/book can be any number of pages - no limit or min."
When I began to consider this project, I could not stop thinking about embroidering the numbers as focal points on the fabric pages...of course, I've never embroidered a day in my life... which seems to be par for the course when I take on one of Tina's SG challenges, yet, I always appreciate stepping out of my comfort zone. I find myself pushing beyond my "normal" creative boundaries and I am never disappointed in what I can achieve.
