Victorian Christmas Week Continues

Hi Everyone~

First and foremost, I want to say that I have been completely blown away by your angel stories that keep coming into my email.

I just completed this blog button and header for the very talented June of Junibears Jottings. I created them spotlighting a piece of her digital art with the cat....If you would like to go and say "hi" to June, I know that she'd LOVE to hear from you. Her work is breathtaking.

If any of you are in need of blog headers or buttons, just contact me through my email. Now, onto my latest project!!

I purchased a house-shaped chipboard book at Michael's Arts and Crafts...Then, I added scrapbook papers to each side of the pages...

And, of course, lots of lace and embellishments were added. This book happens to be for my granddaughter, Dara.

If you would like to make one, they are super-fun, although time-intensive.

I used graphics from Dezinaworld and you can purchase all of these graphics on one sheet--yay!! You can use them for numerous Christmas projects, so how neat is that?

And here's the best part--Dara's birthday is on Christmas, so this is a birthday book!

Thank you so much for visiting and if you would like to enter my giveaway, just scoot on down 2 posts and sign up!!!

Love,

Cindy

Some Digital Fun

In My Garden

Hi Everyone!

I have just created this digital piece. I have gotten so many emails asking about digital art that I thought I'd show how this piece actually started out...

See, I used this new digital collage sheet from Dezinaworld, cropped it, changed the color and then played with different backgrounds and embellishments to come up with the end result. These sheets are really fun and I enjoy using them in black and white, as well...But, this gives you a "sneak peek" at the behind-the-scenes work that goes into these pictures.

I have some winners to announce too! La of A Musing Potpourri won the ice cream tag I made over the weekend! And what's so surprising about that? I actually made it for her blog party, so now she has a souvenir of the fun event.

And Terry of Terry 2 Dogs won the pink glass bowl that was my weekend giveaway--Congratulations to Terry and La and thank you all for playing along!!

Yes, we share our homes, our art, our kids, our pets...the list goes on and on. But, most of all, we share our hearts and have fun along the way....Thank you for being a part of my journey.
