Hidden Vintage Studios

I'm excited to introduce you to the debut of a collaboration between my friend Tracey over at Glitterbug Studios and myself.  We have teamed up and created Hidden Vintage Studios where we are providing digital kits to artist with quality, colorized digital images.  The kits contain both png files and collage sheets already to print out for the cut and paste artists.  Our first kit is Red Headed Stepchildren over at DeviantScrap.com.   Just in time for St. Patrick's Day!

These piece were created with images from the Red Headed Stepchildren kit.

 The above piece also contains background elements from Holliewood Studios and Tumble Fish Studios both at DeviantScrap.com

Will you be wear'n the green on March 17th?

Down the Hole!

Happy 4th!  Last night there was a barrage of fireworks and firecrackers and I'm anticipating even more tonight in the neighborhood.   I once had a beagle that would totally freak out over the loud sounds that this time of year produced....the poor thing, he would get so worked up!  I bet he wished he could have escaped down a rabbit hole!

This digital collage was created with the following: background and scrap words from Tumble Fish Studios, Journal Papers Kit and Journal Words Kit;
tree and ground from Finecrafted, Innervoices Kit; watch face from Maya, Steampunk Kit; white rabbit from personal collection.

Every summer around the 4th of July, Gary and I go to North East, Pa (about 20 minutes north of Erie) to an orchard to pick sweet Bing cherries!  We've been going there for about 16 years now and something strange happens every time.........no matter what containers we bring with us, we seem to always pick 32 pounds of cherries!  Here's my theory on this, I think that we start picking and around the 30 pound mark we start to get tired and pick a few more pounds and then call it quits because we are getting hungry!  So we hop in the car and motor on over to the Freeport where they have the most crunchy delicious Lake Erie perch sandwiches (I dream about these sandwiches in middle of January!)

Yes, Gary and I blew our fried food allotment for the month on this lunch but it was worth it!

Hey, have a safe and happy 4th, don't eat too much potato salad!
