Background of my first free motion quilting.

This was my first attempt at free motion quilting. Go to my Lavendula Loveliness Blog to see what I did with it. I'm sure this pic could be used as a background with the help of Photoshop!

Creative sandwich using MistyFuse etc

This is the kind of sandwiches I love making! Took a painted sheet of watercolor and sprinkled cut up cross word letters then pressed on a sheet of MistyFuse to make a sandwich. Cut up to use in ATC's etc. Have I inspired you to make some sandwiches? Next year I will post some more with different materials in the sandwich. Click on it for a detailed view.

Vintage Children's French Text Book Pages 8 and 9

Could you use these pages in your collage, atc's etc? The book is very, very old looking. Please do not sell or add to a collection for sale. Will publish more pages throughout the year. Enjoy!

Some vintage pages from a very old book

As you can see this one is entitled: Love's Hiding Place. Click on it before downloading so you get the larger version. These are for your personal use only. Please do not reproduce in a collage sheet or similar. Enjoy. Let me see what you create with these. I have many more from a book with copyright date of 1891. The pages are very fragile so hope the life of these images can be furthered in some sort of a art form. Suggested uses: Book covers, collages, etc.

Embossed music notes in pinks

I ran a music note stencil through my cuttlebug to get this background. Then inked at random.

New garden pictures blog added.

I have added a new blog: YARDEN COLLECTIONS. If you are interested have a look: http://yardencollections.blogspot.com/

This is a place where I am archiving my garden/yard pictures with some chatter.

Take special care background

An old sheet from diary. Had fun with tissue paper overlay, Golden transparent paints and some gesso. Go to my Lavendula Loveliness Blog to see what else I did with it.

Multi stamped in purple family of colors

I enjoyed playing on this sheet of watercolor with a friend the other day. I used a foam stamp and a ready made one. Try taking parts of this image and use in a collage or card. Click on it to see the detail of the foam stamp.
