Teresa Collins Projects

Another one of my favorite paper artists is Teresa Collins.  I have enjoyed so much working with her designs and want to share a few of my past samples that I hope you will like. If you "stash supplies" like me, this might inspire you to finish a project or two - have fun!

  

  

Happy New Year

January Classes 
I have the following classes coming up January 17 and 18 at Whim So Doodle in St. Petersburg, Florida - you can reach them at www.whimsodoodle.com or Phone 727-827-4911. 

The Valentine Box Configuration features a crackle finish frame (inspired by Richele Christensen) and the jewelry class features two necklaces, one using Tim's Locket and the other his Pocket Watch - do hope some of you can join us!

The first, "Patchwork Pandemonium" has been reconfigured as blog side banners, featuring a mermaid cut from grunge board, her hair die-cut using the Sizzix "On the Edge - Scrollwork" die plus gathered beach accents including shells and a gull feather. 

The second was his "Configuration of your Imagination" which I adapted into a Florida theme with real shells: 

the third "Journeys to the Past" tag book which I decided needed a matching keepsake box:

and then there was the jewelry - I LOVE JEWELRY and had spotted a piece in Tim's 2012 CHA Summer show booth which I attempted to copy - thus:
