Design by Corrine Paul

Olivia Bear pattern by Corrine Paul

Hand cut and hand pieced Olivia Bear sitting in her swing


Finished title page with photo mat and journaling box


Finished page with 4 photo mats


I used the Fiskars stencil to help design the tree trunk


Starting page 1 deciding how to sit her on the swing


Coordinating page 2 with page 1


I use ink like most people use chalk


Photo mats are sewn


I used my small oval hole punch and made the rope look more like rope


Placing the photo mat on page 1


Placing the sewn journaling mat


Better picture of the little ovals lined up to look like rope


I added a yellow ribbon and little yellow heart shaped buckles to her shoes

I added few highlights and the layout is finished and ready to
