My Paper Cowgirl Project!

The next big Paper Cowgirl event is just around the corner~


This is my class project for Cowgirls & Petticoats!

Whispers from the Past
A handcrafted inspiration journal




The Cowgirls are teaming up this time with the girls from
for 4 days of art, shopping, & fun!
It's no big surprise that I chose to make a book for my project. 
I can't get enough of them.


We'll use vintage & new elements to create beautiful & unique covers, then fill them with lots of pages.



Pages with pockets,



 pages to embellish later on,


a few scraps,



a little sewing...


& lots of drippy lace.


A journal to fill with all that inspires you!


I'm proud to be included in this all star line-up of instructors:
Beth Leintz - Gathering Dust
Cindy Mayfield - Yapping Cat
Dawn Edmonson - The Feathered Nest
Donna Goss - Art Studio 522
Karla Nathan - Karla's Cottage
Karen Valentine - My Desert Cottage
Sandra Feazel  - 7th St. Studio

Registration opens in a couple of days,
I'd love to see you there!

What a gorgeous journal and amazing vintage touches and embellishments throughout! Looks like a fabulous class! Love your work!

Sweet Cottage Dreams said...

Lisa, your creations are always - and I mean always - such a work of art. But this one, with the drippy lace, is just stunning! So romantic. I bet that the women who sat and crocheted those amazing pieces would never imagine that their pieces would be used for such a piece. If crochet could talk...

I'd love to come and play! When, where, price??? Please let me know.

much love,
Becky

hugs to the triplets!!

Jenny Petricek said...

Lisa, this book is so beautiful that I'm almost speechless! I can't help but keep scrolling over the pics, perusing the gorgeous antique lace and trim, as well as the elegant fusion of vintage papers and fabric! Such a wonderful way to transform an ordinary book!

Lily's Lace said...

OK so here's what happened. Charlene and I had been waiting all day, just hanging around the house waiting for your class to come open. She calls me, I call her, we're looking at ebay, it's still not open so she says for me to call her WHENEVER it comes open.

I swear I just got up to go to the bathroom and the phone rings at 10:05!! So I'm running to the phone,"I'm coming Charlene!" "It's open, do it, click it, register!" "ok,ok,ok got it, got it, where's the, oh I see it, got it, yea, we're in." Meanwhile my husband is looking at me like I am just flay out batty!!! SOOO, Charlene and I are just a tad excited to do this class.

And, I get to finally meet you. Such nice things people say about you! But I want to see for myself! I have followed you for a zillion years, so excited, see you soon!! xox-cindy
