New Book coming this MAY! :))
I have been receiving tons of e-mails and comments asking about the upcoming book and I am *SO* excited to finally share an update.... This project has been so dear to my heart! Today I found a pretty little box waiting by my door with my first copy!
First, here are a few photos.... 
This book is a box full of 5x7 idea cards divided into categories of different sources of inspiration....Music, Movies, Books, Art, Fashion and Home Decor! I am so excited about this concept because you can use one card at a time at your scrapbooking table for inspiration!
At the back of the deck there is room for your personal notes and sketches.... 
and here is an example of how the backs of the cards are organized... 
And the most special part of this book (to me, personally...) is this, the dedication page...
I dedicated this book to my precious mom. She is such an amazing example of an artist. I love to just think about all the times we have spent together making art and all of the stages she encouraged me through... I know my life would never be the same without her. I love you, Mom.
Cool... well, if you are coming to CHA, be sure to stop by the Love,Elsie booth and check the new book out! It will be in stores this **May**! I can't wait!!
xx. Elsie
I am very excited! I love the idea! :)
