Challenge Prize...

Can't get my gosh-darn camera to work properly to take a picture, but my son picked #7 as our random winner in the March Collage Challenge. That's Corinne Marie from Dining Room Table Art.

Corinne wins the image collection, Antique French Holy Cards, which I'll email to her.

Thanks to each and every one of you for playing along. Once again, the contributions are stellar!

Our images this month come from collections in my shop: the Lovely Ladies image collection, the Baby's Bouquet image collection, and the 2011 Green Paper Collage Club. All of those are retiring on March 15th, so grab them now if you're interested.

The deadline for the Challenge is next Thursday, March 8th. On the 9th I'll draw a name at random to win a downloadable image collection - the Antique French Holy Cards collection, which usually sells for $14. It's comprised entirely of Holy cards from my personal collection. They're all exclusive and only available from me.

Also, I am once again late in announcing the monthly Collage Challenge winner. How does this keep happening? You all have my sincere apologies. This time my son picked the number 17 - Nancy Layne. Nancy, I can't find an email address for you - would you please contact me at greenpaperpack@aol.com so I can email your prize? 

Thanks to everybody who played this month, there was some fabulous art on display!

Just 2 More Days...

Just a reminder that all Collage Challenge entries need to be in by midnight tomorrow.  I hope you're joining us this month!

Vintage Gluebook Pages and Our Challenge Winner!

I had a nasty bout of the flu this week and I'm out of sorts and really behind on everything!

I have a couple recent gluebook spreads to show you...

And, I forgot to announce the January Collage Challenge winner - it's Corinne of Dining Room Table Art.  Thank you to the sweet people who kindly reminded me!

What have YOU been up too?

Challenge Reminder!

You have a couple more days to submit your entries into the January Collage Challenge. All creations need to be in by Sunday at midnight. 

There is some fabulous art posted already, and plenty of creativity on display, so please stop by and be inspired!

I was asked about the images in this month's challenge:

The pink book sellers label is from the Vintage Graphics and Text Collection. 

The floral poetry page is from the Victorian Gift Book Collection.

The cabinet card of the little girl was one of the images in the Collage Coterie online class, which is no longer available. My classes come with plenty of imagery to use, you don't need to own any vintage paper or images to take one of the online classes.
