You make 6 tags on the theme of Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass, send them to Karla, who will make them into a book and swap them out. For full details please click HERE.

Winter Altered Photo


This is a photo from our recent snowy spell which I have been playing around with in Elements. I have used a couple of different textures and a couple of brushes which I made myself. I also used a lovely glass plate negative plate from Christina Renee Designs at Oscraps.

February Design Team Artwork for Cassi's Creations



Here are 2 tags with a retro feel, made from one of Cassandra's beautiful collage sheets at Cassis's Creations. Pay a visit to her shop and see these lovely designs and lots more.

Retro is really out of my comfort zone and the colours are not those I would normally use but I must say I enjoyed doing something slightly different but I just had to add lace. Hope you like them.

20 Minutes A Day - Doesn't seem too difficult.....


Here is a great idea I stumbled upon when searching through the OWOH bloglist and this site was a favourite of one of the Magic Carpet Riders. The blog is Fiona's Marmalade Rose.

Fiona made a New Year's Resolution to try and spend at least 20 minutes every day sewing and members of the group are encouraged to do this or indulge in their own craft: some knitting, some sketching, some crochet etc. I checked with Fiona to see if mixed media/altered art and papercrafts could be included and this is apparently OK. I fully intend to give this a go as I spend far too much time either on the computer or planning and researching what I am going to make next rather than actually doing it.

We need lots of encouragement so please take a look. You can learn all about it by clicking on the 20 Minutes button on her sidebar (link above).

Digital Collage



I had the urge to do a little Photoshopping after looking at some of the lovely collages created by members of the DJ Pettit Photo Manipulation Workshop. I was too late to sign up for this which I am really sorry about.

There are many layers and textures in this collage but I am happy with it.
