Welcome to the Garden

Hi Everyone~

Welcome to the garden! I love ball jars

and thought I would create a digital picture

from it using a background from

The Graphics Fairy...

This piece was created with graphics from

Dezinaworld and Shabby Cottage Studio.

If you look closely, you will see little faeries

peering out from the trees.

This piece was created using graphics from Dezinaworld

and Scrapgirls.

This piece was created using graphics from Dezinaworld

and the backgrounds are from Scrapgirls.

And here is a big surprise I received via email this morning from my dear friend June of Junibears Jottings! June used my baby picture and created this precious treasure for me--I can't wait to show it to my mom! June, thank you SO much!!

Thank you all for visiting the garden--may you have a blessed week!!!

Dezinaworld

Hi Everyone~

Dezinaworld has just come out with these fabulous book pages to use in altered art. I just created this collage using one of them and the collection has all different quotes. This was one of my favorites.

They are also introducing a new collage sheet entitled "Flying Machines." Being a proud member of the design team, I created this digital piece.

I hope you're all having a good week!!

"Mothering Instincts" Week Begins!

Shabby Chic Torso

Hi Everyone~

Welcome to “Mothering Instincts” Week here at Whimsical Musings. I’d like to start by showing you my latest project--this “Shabby Chic Torso” now available in my Etsy shop. I have used curly seam binding ribbon to adorn this piece.

Up Close

I had no idea that it would take 10 hours to create! But, it is a real favorite of mine and I thought it would make a memorable gift for Mother’s Day.

As many of you know, I design for Shabby Cottage Studio and the torso is from their wonderful online store! (The music note graphics are from The Graphics Fairy.)

I have some wonderful news~My Paris Collage has just been featured on The Graphics Fairy’s Craft Blog....I hope you’ll check it out ~and it’s a great place to visit for new ideas!

Paris Collage--Custom Order

And before you go, I want to ask you a question....What is your earliest memory of your mom? I’ll tell you mine. I was about 3 or 4 years old and my mom bought the Snow White Album from Disney. We listened to the story and read the accompanying book together. It was a really happy moment for me.

A Little Vintage Charm

Jackson Square/New Orleans

Last week, I went to visit the St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.

Jeanne d'Arc Necklace

While I was there, I bought a medallion of Jeanne d’Arc for my

special daughter-in-law, Nikki and created this necklace for her

with a key, a crown, and gear for her birthday.

"Charmed" Wall Hanging

Then, I created this wall hanging for her. It includes one of my

favorite images from Shabby Cottage Studio. I couldn’t wait to

make a collage using this vintage blue necklace. It is being entered

in the Spot Prize challenge at Dezinaworld where the theme is

“Charming.”

Sugar-Sweet Lollipops

Then, I made these for my grandchildren to accompany

the other gifts. Of course, the sugar is actually white glitter!

The heart images are from Shabby Cottage Studio too!

They're fun to make--Honestly, I don't know how the idea

popped into my head--but I think they'd also be cute to

stick inside a planter in the house.

While at the cathedral last week, I prayed for all of my family

and friends--and that includes all of you that I have

met while blogging.

Wishing you a beautiful weekend~A Happy Pink Saturday!

and a Spiritual Sunday!!!
