I had one of those days today. Those when, no matter what you set out to do, fate (or your brain) have decreed you’ll be doing something else. I wanted to finish the summer giveaway package and set out to create a downloadable background paper. So I switched on Photoshop, got out my selection of [...]

I am really into holidays. Christmas is my favourite of course, but Easter, Hallowe’en, Thanksgiving, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, even poor, nearly forgotten Guy Fawkes night cause a heady rush of excitement that sees me decorating the house, crafting into the early hours of the morning and cooking holiday food for an army (even though [...]

I can’t believe how crazy the last ten days have been. Lots of work, nursery school singalongs, birthday parties and playground jaunts meant that I had no time to update the site, let alone put together a collage, digital or otherwise. But my friend Leslie—who is even busier than me with writing and childcare but [...]

When I first started paper-crafting, I had a passion for photo montages. I’d stick Niccolo’s head on a Victorian boy or one of Raphael’s angels and turn them into cards with gusto. It had been a while since I last did that, but last week I came across an image of a Victorian baby girl [...]

It was a casual discovery. I was flicking through some photographs of my grandparents when I came across several pictures of a very young man whom I had never seen before. I know my extended family pretty well, and I could have sworn he was not someone I knew. At the same time, though, he [...]

I was tidying up my files—not something I’d ordinarily do of my own free will, but my husband threatened all sorts of dire retributions—when I came across a little digital collage I had made a few months ago. It was February 4, I had just hit the seventh month of my pregnancy and felt like [...]

Some people have been kind enough to email me about the background paper I made for the pink and brown Theme Thursday challenge. I thought it could be fun to make the paper available for download so others can use it in their projects.

Easter came and went and I am still pregnant. My doc seemed convinced that I’d go into labour well before we started munching on chocolate eggs—she even told me not to do any heavy physical work around the house to avoid an early delivery—but, unless something happens over the next couple of days, it looks [...]

I stumbled upon the 4×4 challenge today, and decided I just had to take it. It is about using any Da Vinci lady (except Mona Lisa) in your artwork. I love Leonardo’s women, so I couldn’t let this opportunity pass—even though the challenge is up tomorrow.

It was also the prompt I [...]

Ah best laid plans, and all that. We didn’t manage to make our trip yesterday, although Nicco still had a good time hunting for his eggs and opening the presents in his Easter basket. The silver lining of staying at home, however, was that I put together a little entry for Theme Thursday’s inchies and [...]
