April project12

April is busy month punctuated by Yoga Outreach event and a visit from the Millers.

Layout from sketch: First spring Cookout 2011

Here is the sketch challenge


Here is the layout. I used some older bold colored papers, vinyl, and felt trim. This cookout was during Susan, Jeff and Tiesto's spring visit. What a blast!

Layout from a sketch challenge

I don't often begin my process with a pattern or sketch. This time I did. Here is the sketch:


And here is the cool layout featuring some of my favorite people and the sweetest dog alive today! I love the result. It is fun to turn your creative process upside down. I'm thankful for my friends who also "get" this art form.:)

March Project 12

March is punctuated by a road trip to Kripalu Yoga retreat center with Nancy. I work long hours on Yoga Outreach and we make some large purchases.

Feb Project 12

February was cold and icy, but we escaped to San Diego. Woo-hoo! This month's layout features dimension offering ribbon, wiry ribbon and poms.

January 2011 Project 12

I completed this in late February, but hadn't posted. This year each month I'm using the calender page from Real Simple magazine. Also using some papers and circles that my good friend, Stacie gave to me. Like last year I'll stick to the same sketch each month. This month some hand stitching, brads, felt borders and felt pieces add dimension.

Charity gathering

This video will explain why I haven't made a post in months. I'm organizing the first large yoga charity event in our city. It is the first public event I've organized since an invention covention approximately twenty years ago!
