Arttechniques Floral Postcard Swap

Here is the digital collage I made using images from two of my AlteredHeartDesigns mixed media digital kits; Floral Splendor and Journal Inspirations. The quote will be part of a second floral kit.

At Arttechniques we are doing a postcard swap each month.

Colds and other things...

It seems I can go "great guns" for just so long and then catch a cold. This one, thanks to hubby, I got on my birthday. Nice gift!!
My digital kits have been selling which is a real blessing in this economy! As soon as my cold makes me less groggy, and my computer woes are (hopefully) cleared up, I plan on creating some more mixed media digital kits. The ideas are simmering....

New Computer Struggles

I have been attempting to make the transition to a new, much faster computer. Although it's speed is fantastic, the fact that it has Windows 7 is not. I have never had such trouble in my life. My laser printer, keyboard, mouse, all are incompatible and my inkjet doesn't work with Photoshop the same. I have returned the computer to its maker and am asking to have Windows XP installed instead. How can a billion-dollar company sell such a buggy product??? If you go to the Windows website there are apparently thousands of others with the same problems. When all of my Adobe CS4 Design programs stopped working entirely yeaterday I said, "enough is enough!". Microsoft, you have a lot of explaining to do......

Spring Song

As you can see I love this image. The woman seems so serene and self-composed. I fell in love with this verse from an antique volume of children's poetry. I used some elements from my Floral Splendor digital journaling kit.

Metal Key Pin

I turned the metal square into a Steampunk-style art pin. Kinda funky, but I like it!
