I decided to start the new year off by joining in on a collage challenge hosted monthly by
Mary Green at her blog
Green Paper. She provides a selection of vintage images to download, and challenges the participants to come up with a collage that incorporates all 3 of the images. Here is my offering:

It was fun to do a little cutting and pasting again. All of the entries are so different--fun to see other people's take on the same challenge.
And now for some VERY belated thanks. Back in
SEPTEMBER, I won a giveaway hosted by
Karla Nathan. She has a regular craft day get-together with her pals
Mary Green (yes, same as mentioned above), and
Beth Leintz (all three ladies are crafters extraordinaire...click on their names to visit their wonderful blogs)--and they all decided to put a little package together of an assortment of crafty and collage-y supplies to share with the lucky winner, me! Each contributed their own special "thing": Karla supplied the vintage millinery flowers and ribbons, Mary gave a stack of vintage book pages, and Beth tucked in a vintage hanky, buttons, and rickrack. It's all very wonderful and I can't wait to play with it. I am pretty embarrassed that it has taken me this long to blog about it and to say a big "Thank You!" to these ladies. Better late than never. Here are a few pictures of my treasure trove:

Darling collage with juicy colors. So happy you like your crafty package!
ReplyDeleteOK, it's time to schedule another trip to St Louis - we'll go thru Mom's "vintage" stuff, look for a few antiques, take long walks in the Botanical Gardens, whatever strikes your fancy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for updating. Love you much.

ReplyDeletePs, wow! LOVE the collage!
ReplyDeleteLove your collage. It is WONDERFUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your image!!! I need to learn more with Photo Shop & would love to do this sort of thing. Maybe I should try her challenge... If only to find more time in the day. I fear Pinterst really make the black hole of time HUGE! Thank you for the sweet comment you left about my PMC Silve Clay necklace. I just love working in PMC & can't wait for the class with Diana in February. Have a great week.
