My first class at Silver Bella was taught by Pam Garrison, and was entitled Lineage of Love…
Pam’s example used family photos, and was embellished with a Christmas theme…
I didn’t have any family photos, but as I was looking through my collection of cabinet cards I noticed that I seem to buy photos of babies with white eyelet dresses…who knew?
I wanted to use the photos I had, so I decided on a baby theme…
I gathered some vintage trims…that little doll shoe I photographed recently…
and a little eyelet doll dress to go in the middle…
I kept my cabinet cards in their original shape, and attached them at the top corners with wire and ribbon…
…and buttons and charms and crystals and a tiny frozen charlotte!
I dyed some tiny pink and white mini muffin papers in tea and coffee, and took them with me to class. I wanted to string them with pearls as a tribute to Pam for the wonderful garlands she was making this past spring and summer out of coffee filters and paper. When Pam saw this, she loved it…they are so tiny!
Here are some of the other projects by the talented women at my table…Lori Oles used wedding photos of her grandparents for a wedding theme…gorgeous!
and Karla Nathan used photos of her adorable granddaughter Sugarwings…
and can you take a wild guess who this is ?
My beautiful friend Jennifer Hayslip of course!
Everyone had their own personality reflected in this project, and it was great seeing all the finished work…I just wish I had taken more photos!
Gorgeous, I love those !! Your baby theme is precious :)

I was in your class and in complete awe of your work! (I'm also having difficulty in getting mine to "sit up properly" but I'm sure I will work it out eventually) Just gorgeous, gorgeous!
