Freebies, Inspiration, New Collages

Some new collages on matboards recycled from Freecycle

 

Love these vintage photos!  I can't seem to collect enough of them.  Especially the little girls with those cute dresses and hair bows.

 

 

 

 

As always, I find a treasure trove of awesome things while surfing the net.

Cool fabric stickers that are just gorgeous and unique.

Happy Spring......Almost Summer!!

High 80 degree weather we've been having in PA.  Woohooo!!!  Quite contrast to this past late winter's snowstorms.
I hope you're all enjoying some sort of pleasant weather.  I'm just giddy, myself.  I so love Spring and Summer.

 I'm such a fan of Google.  I use their Gmail, IGoogle, Google Alerts and Google Shared items, did you see my shared items in the upper right on my blog? Well, now I'm loving the scanned books at Google?

Awesome source for vintage books and images and reading, of course.  I couldn't believe the wonderful things there.  There are public domain books where you can download and also magazines.  You can go here if you want to check it out.

Don't forget to enter my giveaway here.  There's still time.

Free images for you to use.  Enjoy!

Thanks to all my new followers and your thoughtful and sweet comments.  Don't pass up the giveaway.  Have a beautiful day, everyone!

Down with Free Images

I still can't get my computer to work right. I have several pages of 2 altered books that I have been working on, one of my daughter's for her high school graduation and the other from the online class that I want to share with you, but I'm still not able to download them because of this issue with the computer. I hope this makes up for it. Some free images for you to use. Have a great week!
Hope to be back to normal with my computer. This temporary solution just doesn't do it.

Busy Creating

Elizabeth from Altered Book Lover has sweetly offered a free online class on altered books 101 which I'm taking part. Its a 12 week course and we're on week 2 so far so not much to show yet; just my book and some of the supplies. My theme is children's fairytales. I will post the progress.

Here's a site offering several sheets of really neat images specifically for microscope slides.

Free collage sheets


2 eggs from the Easter egg banner swap I'm also involved in. Three more to go and have to mail off real soon or I'll miss the deadline.

'till next time,

Yummy Showers

Here for your use are some wonderful vintage images from Stampington.
Showers of yummy supplies have arrived in my house and I'll be sharing as soon as I photograph them. I'm still oodling over it all. From the bits & baubles swap, a RAK and a win from One World One Heart giveaway. Woohoo!

2009 Calendar

I finally decided to make my own calendar since I missed the 50% sale at the mall calendar kiosk as is my tradition, and after getting this freebie: 2009 Calendar

I printed each month on cardstock and I'm currently embellishing it. Photos of it will be posted as soon as I'm done with it.

This is a great site with other printables, tutorials and inspiration. Have fun!
