Giveaway, Background Papers Video

Been busy with my niece's Save The Date cards, work and just general life's misery challenges lately, so haven't been creating much.

I hope it changes soon.

Here is a video from Shona Cole that I have enjoyed.

Giveaway Winners for the Blog Hop Summer Celebration 2010

Not many participated, but all will win!

  I enjoyed visiting and getting to know you and your art.  It's always a treat to see each individual's interpretation on a theme.  Since it was only 4 of you, I'm going to send all of you prizes. 

Prize #1 will go to whoever of you 4 ladies has their birthday closest to mine, August 17 and will win a choice of anything in my Etsy shop.  

For the remaining 3 ladies, one of my new collage bags, a bag chuckfull of art supplies to make your own collages.  I'll be adding more of these in my Etsy shop soon too.

Congratulations to Courtney, Ann, Rebecca and DeeDee.  Get in touch with me with your date of birth so I can determine who gets what.  Thanks for participating.

I will try another blog hop in the future and hope it'll be a bit more successful.

 

Ciao,

I found this notebook at the Dollar Tree.  I liked the cover as it was, so I just added the chipboard label holder thingie after glittering with this awesome blue color, a piece of vintage doily and the Spanish word for pages, paginas.  I thought it turned out pretty adorable.
