This is such a gorgeous collection of Valentine and love themed pages. I have included all of Lee's pages and artwork here for you to enjoy. I am so PROUD of her! It takes guts to jump into a well established group of artists like this bunch. Her work really stands out among this group and is uniquely, Lee!
Lee shared this layout with me last year and it still is my favorite. Who doesn't love champagne? Somerset did fail to really capture the true creativity of this piece. The dress was made of tulle and fabric with a heart peeking out from underneath. The champagne bottle was the best of all. She added ribbons to the bottle to look like flowing bubbles of champagne. Just awesome.
Lee's artwork always tells a story. I think it is the writer in her always trying to get out. This new bride is actually in a straight jacket relating her sense of being trapped or maybe showing that she is tied to this man she may hardly know. If you look at the center of the page there is a small bottle of glitter and a label that says "Love Potion No.9" Lee had sent one to each participant during the swap and they are featured on almost every page of this book!
This layout is such a sweet piece. This was the last of Lee's layouts that they featured, except for her book cover.
Lee got to write a short article talking about her involvement in the swap as well as her artwork.
At the end of the publication, they did a Meet the Artist section and here she is! This is her moment and her artwork and the Love actually mentions me, her BFF! Can't believe it. Actually I can. That's the kind of friend she is! Go visit Lee at Weber's World, The Way I see It and congratulate her on her accomplishment and all of her awesome artwork!Great Job, Buddy! You are my inspiration!
During this busy time of year, it is always great to slow down and actually enjoy the Holiday with Friends. From a Holiday Street Fair downtown, Christmas Open House at the Carriage House and a Fabulous Cookie Swap with the neighborhood gals, I spent the weekend greeting friends, wishing a Merry Christmas and enjoying the joy of the season.
The cookie swap was hosted by my friend Trina at her lovely home just right around the corner from me. She had a pretty Christmas display greeting us with Christmas Carols and a smile on her face as we entered the door. Here is my plate of Almond Cookies and 8 boxes of almond cookies to swap with.
I brought each of the Fabulous 5 a little Christmas treat. They each got a handmade ornament made by me to put upon their trees. I hope each year when they hang them, they will remember the laughs we have had and our friendship!
This is a wreath made out of vintage sheet music. She has folded and glued the paper long a ring to make this unusual wreath. I am going to adorn this wreath and add to my studio. I also bought one for Mom.
This wreath is made up of vintage text and she added some crocheted doilies and vintage cream buttons. It is so crafty and vintagy! I just love them and she couldn't sell them fast enough. Great job, Angela!!!! 
I made these Christmas Balls for a few friends of mine. I saw a version of these in Somerset Life, but I added some buttons and glitter to the ball as well as the words of inspiration. They came out really cute.
I hope that each year when they bring them out to put on their trees, they will think of me and our friendships!
In honor of this event, she is giving away some of her treats that were actually on the show and were borrowed by Martha for an up and coming book! So get over to Jenni B's blog and check out her post and put your name in to win!!!. Congrats, Jenni on meeting Martha and being a guest on her show! Way too cool!!
