Passion For Paper-Tricia Raleigh (martin)

I need be studying for a Spanish test but of course I am finding anything I can to avoid it. I have not had time to create anything new, so I am adding an illustration I did for Texas coop magazine publication a while back. Hope you enjoy.

I joined in on a vintage card challenge this week. It was so much fun. We were sent similar products to make a card and then we sent pictures back. So they could be displayed together.

Big hair and all. 2.I was a hair stylist for 20yrs before moving to Memphis. My mom and grandma are both hair stylist also. 3.I love being around people but I must have my down time.

I did however take a little break to work on some projects for my scrapbook store. The first is an acrylic book using a paper line from SEI. The second is a page using the scraps I had left from the book. The happy baby is meee. The whole time I was making the book the colors made me thinking of my childhood. So I had to go dig out some pictures and match them up. You know how you get when your on a role.
