New Class Starting!

The new class, Collage Basics with Vintage Paper, is starting this week, so I have been busy, busy, busy. I'm taking a minute to show you some of the images available to the class, these are just some of the collage sheets to print and use:

 
I love seeing them all spread out across my desk. There are 24 sheets in total - you can go HERE to learn more about the class.

You still have some time to get in an entry for the monthly collage challenge, I'll be drawing a name at random tomorrow! 

November Collage Challenge - Little Rosana Kelsey

It's November, and time for another Collage Challenge! This month I'm sharing a sweet cabinet card image of a little girl. The handwriting on the back identifies her as Rosana Kelsey, aged one year.  I think she's a charmer.

To play along:

1. Create something, anything, using the images in the collage sheet
2. Be sure to use at least part of each of the 3 images
3. Post a picture of your creation on your blog, in a Picturetrail or Flickr, someplace we can visit on the web. 
4. Then, link your web location in the linky below so that we can all come visit you!

The deadline is next Sunday, November 7th. On the 8th I'll draw a name at random and one participant will get to choose any image collection from my estore and I'll email it to you for free.

I can't wait to see what you create!
