January and a monthly photo of my Cat..


January is off to a fast start. I had a cold for the first week of the year and didn't feel that great :( Then I've started to work on my business stuff which has been keeping me busy. In my free time I've been learning about Digital Scrapbooking with a great CD called "The Scrapper's Guide to Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0". It is a goldmine of information, instructions, and some really cool templates and digital scrapbooking elements (designed by Julie Mead). I used the templates to make a Monthly Photo Calendar of my cat, Boo Boo Kitty. I sized the final layout to fit in a blank cd case that can also serve as a desk calendar. Each month I'll try to remember to post the layout. :o)

Buttons and Roses...


Another Primitive "Folk-art" like acrylic painting on a stretched canvas. I began with a layer of patterned tissue paper, an acrylic wash, then outlined some of the pattern strokes peeking through. "Rose" had to have a cream color dress with miniature roses strewn about. When finished I sewed on gold colored buttons for the finishing touches.

Merry Christmas...


Merry Christmas to each and everyone! I thought I would share with you my Miniature Vignette made this year to celebrate the Christmas Season.
Two mini bears, a decorated tree, presents, a plate of gingerbread cookies, and a cup of hot cocoa make this Christmas extra sweet!
