Our Challenge Winner...

Another fun monthly challenge over, and there were such beautiful creations, both paper and digital. Thank heavens I don't have to choose a favorite to give away a prize - I just randomly draw a number from a china teacup.

This month's winner - of a free image collection from my store - is Bitzi of Bitzidoodles.

Thank you to each of you who played along, and to those who visited the participants blogs. It is truly appreciated!

Marvelous New Project Tutorial from Karla

My buddy Karla from Karla's Cottage is presenting her Mini Dress Form Workshop at Paper Cowgirl in a little over a week. She's had so much interest in the live class (and it filled up so quickly) that she's created an online project tutorial for those who didn't get into the class or can't attend the event.

I've been through the tutorial and highly recommend it. You get all of the  instructions with loads of pictures, some quick videos to demonstrate the steps, and even images you can use.  There are lots of examples, ideas and pictures for personalizing the dress forms -I especially like the fun trim ideas you can use for loads of other projects.

The cost is just $15, and the tutorial is well worth it. I hope you try it out!

June Collage Challenge!

It's our June Collage Challenge. On time and ready to go - Wow!

This month's collage sheet has a sweet illustration from an antique children's book - it's so rare to get these in color, I wanted to share it with you. Then, a pretty little blank trade card and a perfume ad. Hmmm....challenging!
