One Little Word....NEW

 I am taking a class with Ali Edwards called One Little Word http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/classes/onelittleword2013/? The first assignment was to make 12- 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch cards with your intentions/action for the next 12 months. Since I seem to have a problem following the rules I preceded in my own way with two of my favorite mediums...fabric and thread.

I first lightly glued, then sewed the fabric to the card stock.



I then printed words and intentions on  ink jet printer fabric



and randomly placed them on the cards and sewed them down



I glued decorative card stock to the back where in the months to come I will be able to record my actions.




I chose  some photos of my self (part of the assignment) and some hearts...my favorite shape.


I must say at first I was not looking forward to doing this assignment. But I found once I let go and interpreted if in my own way I really enjoyed the processes.

I am looking forward to a year of NEW

LOVE

    That is absolutely brilliant, Mary. What incredible creativity. I love the way it turned out. You really made this your own. Can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the assignments.
