I was heavily inspired by Dawn McVey's creative talents with this one: http://dawnmcvey.typepad.com/.a/6a00...dc08970b-popup
I don't yet have her/PaperTrey Ink's Scattered Showers umbrella set, but since I planned on paper piecing, I just created my own umbrella in Adobe Illustrator and printed directly on my patterned paper. I flipped Dawn's layout and gave the focal image a little turn. I think Dawn's use of the SU Big Note die in the back really motivated me. As a once-upon-a-time English teacher, I'm thrilled that my daughter's first crush is a fictional character--Edward Cullen--and that no one else really measures up 'right now.' I found sheet music for Bella's Lullaby on the internet, reduced the size in Illustrator and printed it for the background.
