It's time. Did you do it? The challenge I told you about last weekend? I did. But let me say that I didn't have the time I needed to really do it well but I wanted to participate so I made a paper collar.


I used newspaper and magazine pages to make the white collar part. I glued pages together then free motion stitched them around the edges. Then topped it off with a paper rose made from dictionary pages. I used different shades of pink (and greens for the leaves) stamp pad and alcohol inks to color the pages before cutting and tearing them into the shapes I needed to make the petals and leaves.

It was a fun project. Thanks to Lisa at A Whimsical Bohemian.

Now about that teacher bag. Here it is. It was made for an elementary school teacher that teaches first grade.

Her favorite flower is the sunflower.

The inside pockets are...of course and apple or two for the teacher and some practice writing. The inside is lined with a chalkboard print.




Have a superior Wednesday!
