PaperHaus Magazine Featured Friend 31 May 2013 + Frank Garcia, Gerry van Gent, Donna Downey and Finnabair are coming to town!

Hello hello!

 So very happy to see ye beautiful beautiful peeps who pop by and leave such fantastic comment - THANK YOU!!

 It is now a fortnight ago that PaperHaus Magazine had me as their Featured Friend. So much has happened since that I haven't been able to share the page that I made specifically for that occasion. HERE IS THE LINK TO THE BLOG POST

 This is the page I made; "My Darling";
All papers used are from KaiserCraft.


The pièce de résistance is the Blue Fern Studios gorgeous Sweetheart Dressform. Ever since I got it from Leslie, I've been dreaming of dressing it in bling and tulle. When I accidentally found a hair piece in a "dollar store", I knew I had found what I was looking for. 

Even more so when I opened up the gift from my sweet friend Lindy Gillespie in Australia, and found the tulle trim among many other yummilicious things that she had sent me. Thanks a bunch darling!


The couple in the photo is my MIL and FIL on their engagement day back in 1952.

Just look at the tulle!! Pardon me for saying it, but this arrangement of Lindy's tulle and Melissa Frances' floppy pink blossom trim and those pearls make me wish for a multi-layered ballgown to twirl around in.


Subtle masking.

The Sweetheart Dressform was first chalked in brown, then misted heavily in gold before it was randomly touched up in gold acrylic paint. All embellies were also touched up in the gold acrylic paint.

 For those of you who live in the Northern hemisphere, perhaps in one of the Scandinavian countries, here's some yummo news for you;

 Frank Garcia, owner of the PaperHaus Magazine and fabulous Prima Educator, is coming to Stockholm for the Stockholm Scrap & Mixed Media Class on 18-20 October 2013.

    I think I already told you how much I love this lo. You might just have to replicate it in August hint hint lol.
    I'm so excited for you for October. You're going to love it. I'm taking Finn's class in July and I've seen DD and you learn lots from her.

    Hugs my friend
