Creative meets Amazing

Print, scribble, scrawl, sign, autograph; all words used to describe the end of the year activity  of capturing the special memories from school. Signing year books has been part of our scholastic year activity for as long as year books have been a part of academia. 

But what happens when you combine the practice of capturing a school year memory and the creative thoughts of an amzing woman who wants to give her two incredible daughters a speical gift?

You have my latest paper project.

Denielle Godwin, the Catering and Events Sr. Manager at the Waldorf Astoria in Park City Utah, and mother of two active and creative daughters commissioned me to make a special gift for the girls, after she saw my white on white handmade paper wall hanging.

Denielle thought that the small  sheets of handmade paper would make a unique back drop for her daughters to collect the special  thoughts of their friends and teachers at the end of the year.

I gave Denielle 25 sheets of  coral handmade paper and 25 sheets of goldenrod handmade paper, measuring 2 1/8 by 3 1/4, in size. Denielle gave the sheets to her daughters who took the paper to school and collected their special memories.

She returned the signed stationary to me and I assembled them into these notable treasures.

Friends and teachers alike enjoyed signing this special keepsake.

Close up of the creative exchange

Each sheet is joined with two loops of jute

The top loops hold the collection around several pieces of decorative spikes.



I love this project so much that my husband and I are going to create one for our home. We're going to hand write special thoughts and quotes on handmade daffodil paper. I made over 60 sheets of daffodil paper over the 4th of July weekend. I can't wait for creative to collaborate with amazing again.
