Sorry for the delay in announcing the winner of the September Collage Challenge. Sometimes life just gets in the way!
By random drawing, the winner is Susan of Artful Spaces. Congrats, Susan, and a huge thanks to all that entered. It's always wonderful to see so many different styles of art. Each one is fabulous yet again.
It's time again for our monthly collage challenge! This month, I'm going a little more modern with the images - if you count the 1920s and 1930s as modern.
The challenge is easy - create a piece of art using at least part of each of the three images provided here:

I can't wait to see what you create!
The Artful Pages - 4 Artists 4 Ways class I worked on last year is available for just a bit longer, and at a great price.
You can get all of the class details HERE.
The class blog is closing, but all of the lessons and information are available to be downloaded. So, if you've been interested in this one, but putting it off, this is a good time to jump in. The price is discounted by 50%, through the end of September, when the class blog closes.
Just purchase the class, then go to the blog and save anything and everything, Every lesson is downloadable, you can save all of it to your own computer and review it whenever you'd like.
The price is now just $20, a bargain for lessons from 4 different artists.
This was such a fun project, I'm sorry to see it end. I hope you'll take advantage of this limited-time offer.
When was the last time you backed up pictures from your computer? Did you find things on there you had forgotten?
I backed-up today and thought I would repost some of my favorite vintage gluebook pages from last year...
Looking back through the pictures reminded me of the papers I was working with back then and the places I found the papers, and even who I was with when I made some of the pages. It's always fun to look over the actual gluebooks, but seeing all of the pictures lined up was a treat too.
Changing Hands Bookstore always has great book-art pictures on their Facebook page. Here's the latest...
This picture is from Austria's Bregenz Festival. Isn't it fabulous?
*apologies to Portlania.
Even the Olympics finds odd uses for paper...
How fun!
My son drew the random winner of the August Collage Challenge...it's Daisy from Distinctly Daisy. She's received the French Dictionary Images collection.
One of the images is in our free images folder, so I'm posting it here too, in case you want a bit of the collection for your own. (Click to open then click again for the full size before saving)
Congrats to Daisy and thanks to all of you for playing along!
There are just a few hours left in the August Collage Challenge. If you haven't posted your entry yet, you have until midnight CST. If you don't have a location on the web, just email your image to me and I'll post it for you. I don't want anyone to miss out. (although visiting everybody is part of the fun)
My de-stashing continues. If you like trade cards, you might like some of the ephemera packages being listed...
Stop by my Etsy shop to see what's available.
Well, I warned you that de-stashing was beginning!
I've been listing a lot of the old pictures and paper around here, but this weekend I started in on some of the more recent things - books and periodicals from my collection of educational and inspirational materials.
There's still plenty more vintage stuff coming, if that's your cup of tea, but I wanted to get at least some of the books started...Here are pictures of the ones I have posted so far...
They're all in my Etsy shop if you want to get a look.
Thanks!
