Collage Addict

C'est MOI! I find myself sitting too much these days at my desk making digital collages. I just can't STOP!

It started with my grandmother. I have Mom to blame...but she is always my muse and always with me. Shame I didn't inherit her tidiness...oh my...I seem to be the opposite in that regard.

Anyway...it started with Louise...



Then it continued with Marie...



And more Marie...I feel some strong connection with this one, not sure why...



Oh yes, and more Marie...



Then came the DRAMA QUEEN...



This little mermaid just won't leave me alone!!!








I guess I am just singing aloud what my soul is telling me to SING!!



Sorry about that last one!

I will be listing a few new things in Etsy this week, some goodies about Marie and maybe a few collaged cards. I need to let go of some stuff here, so keep an eye out.

It Had to Be You...

I love that old song...my son was assigned to play that piece for the piano about two weeks ago. Talk about a memorable tune!!! I hear it in my sleep these days!!! Kevin has done great with it. Nice that he's being exposed to some oldies. He had to play Rock Around the Clock before this one, and he really got into it!

I've been thinking FALL the last week...ready for sweatshirt weather and cool nights and even HALLOWEEEEENNNN....I know it seems early, but have you been to Michael's lately? All Fall decorations already...One of my favorite fall things is collecting old Halloween postcards, except now, it seems to have caught on and BOY have they gone up in price!!!

I found an old photo of my grandmother as a toddler. I decided to cut and paste some bits and pieces of my old postcards. It's so so much fun to do, but also very time consuming. I also had to add a doggie photo too. Hope you enjoy some of my creations! Not sure if I'll make these into ATC's or what. Any ideas?




Here it is in it's original state.




Here she is with a new dress and a moon to give her a little light and color, plus her very own witch's hat! I'm naming her "Little Louisa Witch".



Now she has her own little dog to keep her company, and I liked this sign to add to the bottom.

Then I had to give the dog(My Lacey)a matching hat! Plus Louisa needed some new shoes, and this cat and pumpkin seemed just perfect to sit on the wall beside her!


Then, I painted on some polka dots and stars in the sky, and added a frame.



Next I thought I'd give her a tri colored Cavalier puppy instead...



And then, I decide to try altering the entire pic and changed it back to a spooky black and white, adding yet another very old Cavalier that is actually a GHOST DOG!!!






When I printed these out, I added a leash in her left hand and a little collar on the dogs.

IT HAD TO BE YOU..... LITTLE LOUISE...wonderful YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Gosh, I think her spirit had to be telling me what to do...I just got so carried away with it!!!!

if you click on a photo, you will see on her left shoulder something that looks like a frog to me...or maybe a rat? what do you think? I didn't put that there..wonder where it came from?
