I took two of her classes in March of 2013.  The first class was called Life Journal and the second was called Art is in the Heart.  I am posting images for the second class.  No images from the journal as i haven't taken pictures of it yet.

The background was textured, stamped, painted, and embellished.  The items under the heart are distressed paint brushes.  Here are some close-ups of the center section with the heart.

I still have work to do on this piece and will post a pic when it is done.
