She Dreams: 2013

A Class With Tim Holtz

A highlight of my Spring was a class with Tim Holtz. It's a shadow box with a book-like cover.

the cover.

Opened

the lantern lights up!

We made faux print blocks. When I came up with "WE4" for my three characters, it defined the theme of my project.

there's a mini album in the largest space

the batteries for the lantern hide in here

from two (me and Alex) to three (with Blair)

And baby makes 4

my family grows through the years

The boys are growing up and soon we will be just two again. And two will be large enough of a family for me if the other person is you.

Country Music Album

This album was inspired by a 6x6 pad of cowboy themed paper. Once I saw it I knew I needed to document my love of country music.

I covered a Bo Bunny chipboard album with faux leather paper. Some grungeboard hinges, swirly rhinestones, a rub-on and some rhinestone jewelry complete the cover.

The inside covers are covered with faux lizard paper. The first page is a photo of me at a Sugarland concert.

I saw Brad Paisley when I was in California working. I had an amazing seat seven rows back from the front.

Justin Moore opened.

Next up was Miranda Lambert

Fianlly - BRAD!!

He touched me!

I was so close - all my photos were fantastic!

Later that year, I saw Sugarland at the Greek Theater.

On my way home from CA, Dan and Dumbledore and I were stranded in Albuquerque for a week, and I got cowboy boots at a store that sold feed and saddles!

The Places I'll Go

I was inspired by this paper collection to create an album of the places I'd like to travel to. The album lives in this book-shaped papier mache boc. The cover of the box is a digital collage.
