Italy Memorabilia Display

This was a photo display of memorabilia collected in Italy this summer. I had an amazing time there. I went to a bookstore I had always wanted to visit. I enjoyed amazing food (I have never tasted ravioli so delicious). And walking the streets of Florence was unbelievable. Of course I needed to bring back souvenirs. Captured here are a pair of shoes, paper I bought in one of the hand bound book stores, gallery pamphlets and tickets, restaurant business cards, little watercolor paintings I got from a cute little artist's private studio, and maps of Rome and Florence.




It was a wonderful first trip to Europe. And despite some near death experiences with tiny Italian cars, I would love to go back.

Pixel Heart Necklace

I found the Pixel Heart Necklace design here. The materials I used were 12 pixel heart cuts on cardstock, scissors, and glue. I don't own a die cut machine so I cut out the hearts individually with an x-acto knife. Then I glued the 12 layers together. I used black embroidery thread for a necklace chain.


It was a fun, quick project and pretty cute to look at
