| This bulletin board I created for a Church BBQ held in 2008. A large invitation was designed with all the important information. This bulletin board happened to be in a high traffic area so all Parishioners were well informed of their invitation. Colorful napkins and grilling tools were added to bring color and interest to the board. |

| This dress was lined in bridal satin with a layer of white chiffon on top. The back had a lace up closer. When altering the dress this bride requested straps. I reversed the lacing and laced from the bottom up, placed two loops on the front of the bodice for the lacing to go through and then pulled the straps back through to the back to create straps. |

| To bustle this dress it required a double combination bustle. Nine loops were sewn under the dress and a ribbon was attached under at the beaded embellishment that was placed on the center back of the dress - the ribbon was then threaded through the loops and tied creating a french bustle. Then two simple thread loops were made and an over bustle was created hooking the loops to a hook just under the embellishment to give this bustle a Greek look. |

| A bustle was created using color coded ribbons and nylon rings. I used the under bustle technique folding the dress under and into the lining of the back. This dress required 5 bustle points. |

| Every year we coordinate the cousins when attending the Iowa State Fair. This year's shirts are turquoise. The girls shirts are sleeveless tanks with zebra accented straps. For the boys shirts I choose standard t-shirts. |
 |
| When creating the design I cut and pasted clip art to resemble each one of the children. This was my second attempt at screen-printing. I exposed the artwork for 20 minutes under the lamp and then washed the screen with a garden hose. The screen wasn't perfect but did give us an acceptable end result. More pictures to come when they wear the shirts in a few weeks. |
