Midnight Reverie

I just finished the book "Night Circus" by Erin Morgentstern and Deviant Scrap has a number of kits called Midnight Reverie based on the book.  The book was great and the kits are very inspiring - follow the link....

Memories

Two collages using elements from Deviant Scrap/Tumble Fish Studio and Holliewood Studios. 

Digital ATC's

I've signed up for an ATC swap at Swap-Bot that has an open subject theme but has to be strictly digital.  Most of the background images are of my own - pieces of maps, vintage envelopes and tickets. The women are scanned from an old Ward's catalog or old magazines that I've ripped apart and scanned.  The phrases are from Lisa's Altered Art and the rest of the elements are from Deviant Scrap or Tangie Baxter

The Same Women

I have some photos that I bought at a resale shop and something about the women in them appeals to me and I find myself using them over and over again in collages.  Some of the backgrounds are scans of ephemera I own, and any digital elements are from kits at Deviant Scrap and Scrapbook Graphics (Tangie Baxter).  They are both awesome sites with styles of elements that would appeal to anyone!  I've decided not to buy any more ephemera until I use up the piles that I have, but I keep buying digital kits and elements anyway..........they're hidden in my computer............

Dreaming of Italy

My husband and I are thinking of going to Italy next spring so when I saw this kit from Deviant Scrap, I had to buy it. (Tuscan Sun by Rucola Designs) I also used some edge frames by Beth Rimmer (also at Deviant Scrap) and miscellaneous elements from Tangie Baxter (Scrapbookgraphics)

My Body is a Cage

Marion Bockelman is having an ATC swap using the Peter Gabriel song "My Body is a Cage".  These were done in Photoshop Elements, then printed and a few embellishments were added.  The digital elements were from Paper Whimsy, ArtChix Studio and Deviant Scrap.

Deviant Scrap has a few challenges this weekend - one was to alter a shrine they provided and another was to make a party animal avatar.

The shrine had flowers on the sides so I "covered" it with circus posters, a photo and a ring toss game.  I added the flags, sign, animals and dancers with elements from kits by Beth Rimmer, Finecrafted Design and IGES, all available at Deviant Scrap. 

This avatar uses elements from Paper Whimsy and Beth Rimmer.
