Free Photo Friday Fairy Baby

Hello Happy Friday and Happy Canada Day my fellow canucks, yup we are having a B-day today with cake and everything, I've got my red on in celebration.

Okay enough of that hoopla on to the free image I found this gal on a PD site and gave her a Land Of Nod makeover nothing to fussy liked her white dress so I left it as is. She looked like she needed wings and there is nothing more darling than a fairy baby so I just had too give her some. This was a rather small file so things got a bit blurry when I enlarged her still cute but not as crisp as I would have liked.


Happy creating I know she will soar when given the chance.


Until next time have a great weekend

Sale!Sale!Sale!!! I'm having a SALE

I'm getting tired of having to look at this stuff the smell of failure is very hard on ones ego. These blingy goodies never seemed to grab anyones attention when I listed them long time ago in Etsy

not one to take the hint I'm giving them a another shot this time I have rediculously slashed prices ( I'm sounding like a used car salesman here). I'm hoping this is the push that will make these items disappear and be out of my hair. I've got more to go through but this is just the first bunch to get the red maker sale price treatment.

Soldered blingy Marie charm
another soldered art charm innocence, I love this image

These would make wonderful connector's I'm selling them as a pair

Steam punk soldered art necklace

Oh that mad Hatter simple soldered art necklace

This necklace is made with various vintage items and some newer stuff too.

Well I'm heading back into the stock room with my red marker in hand I've got more prices to slash, maybe some paper goodies will find there way into this sale too!!! Hope you can stop by and check out my Etsy Sale all reduced items are in the Clearance sale section.

Until next time take care Hugs Deborah

New tag collage sheet in etsy

I've just finished up a new collage sheet and listed it in My Etsy Shop

This time around I decided to try my hand at some gift tags or book marks I think they would work for both. I've been busy altering wee ones for the past few days I really enjoy this part of the process and I'm getting quicker at it, I guess even an old dog like me can pick up the pace when need be. I'm Still not as fast coming up with these collage sheets as I would like but I'm getting better.

Hope everyone is having a productive day

Until next time take care

Free Photo Friday- Alice

Happy Friday Folks Wow another week just slipped by it seems that time keeps moving faster and faster as I get older.

I found the original(an old tin type) of this girl on a public domain site I think it was the commons on flickr and the name Alice jumped right out at me. I knew once I was done tinkering with her she could slip into Wonderland without causing to much of a stink.

I'm giving her a new story of my own another moleskine with a Wonderland feel to it, maybe someone else can find a use for her in their own version of wonderland.

Thanks so much for dropping in have a fantastic weekend until next time take care Hugs Deborah.

Altered Moleskine's

These Moleskine journals have been sitting around waiting for me to get my butt in gear and give them a face lift, I've been telling myself they need a make over for months but my procrastinating ways won over until now. I've been a busy little bug and finished up all three that have been collecting dust on my shelf. I've even manged to list them in

in my Etsy shop

This one I called Lady with a Fish I know how origianl.........hey my creativity stops when I put the paint brush down.

These are all cut and paste collages

This is a 8 1/4 x 5 inch lined journal moleskine

I did the back with a old ledger sheet and added some fish to tie everything together, the front inside cover is done with a reprint of a antique marble book page.
this is a smaller lined moleskine journal 5 1/2 x 3 1/2 called The Girl with Fish Balloons, oh my the originality continues.........

I used some old 1922 German Bank notes for the back cover, poor fishy lost his head in the sealing process. The inside covers are done with more hand written ledger pages and marble reprint paper.

Girl with a Bird Hat..... I know who would of thunk!!!! This journal is the same size as the first one.

Back cover is the same image I offered in this weeks Free photo Friday(come to think of it so is the front - the girl with the bird hat) I did add some flowers to the back just to make it different. Inside covers on this one are old handwritten goodness + the marble reprint paper.

I'll have to see how these do before I sit my lazy butt down and come up with more, I enjoyed gussying them up maybe I'll do one more just for myself.

Thanks for dropping in until next time take care and Happy Father's day to all the Daddies out there. Hugs Deborah

Free Photo Friday- A little Background

Hmmmm a little background lets see I was born in a small town, oh not the background you where looking for hee hee I couldn't resist. I've been working on some Moleskins giving them a makeover, Here are a few scans of some of backgrounds before I added my what nots.

I like to apply layers of old bits of paper and rip it back off and then paint, these have the well worn look of an old dirty wall, yummy my fav dirty and worn. They measure apx 5x8 inches and printed up kind of dark so you might need to tinker around a bit they would make neat backgrounds for Atc with some resizing.

Again not sure if anyone is into this kind of thing but I ran out of time and never got to any photo altering this week and this is all I had on hand ready to go for Free photo Friday (I know not really a photo) I hope someone out there likes messy and worn as much as I do.


Have a happy day folks until next time take care


Hugs Deborah :)

Free Photo Friday- Atc envelope

I like to send my Atc's in some kind of envelope or fancy sleeve but sometimes I just get down right lazy or don't have the extra time to make one. So I thought why not make a printable envelope for just those to short on time moments, one I can print up over and over until I get bored to tears with it. I tinkered a bit with a recent atc I made (hope the new owner of this atc doesn't mind that I'm passing it around) and came up with this. Easy peasy just print cut out and glue sides and bottom and presto a Fancy envelope to send your atc in.

Now I'm not sure how many folks will use this after all if your into making atc's I'm you would probably like to use your own art but I thought I would pass it on just in case someone out there might be lazy like me. I sized it to print on 8.5 x 11 inch paper however turns out when I posted it here on blogger it grew so you will have to resize it in order to fit a Atc, blasted blogger..... If you don't feel like fiddling with it just email me and I can send the file which will allow you to print it up at the right size.


Hope you all have a perfect weekend until next time take care

Early 1800's French Hand written goodness in Etsy

I've just listed some new collage sheets In My Etsy Shop

The perfect solution to avoiding that old stinky moldy allergy inducing coughing fit one gets when handling old book pages. All the suffering has been taken out of your hands, you get to enjoy that aged to perfection dirty stained look minus all the mess.

I've recently purchased some wonderful old Hand written French documents dating from 1814-1876, please don't ask me what they say cause I'm clueless when it comes to French. I just thought they where to amazing to pass up even though I don't know just what they are.

When I saw the old stamped seals and embossed seals I just melted.

Here is just a sample of what I have listed.

MMMMM yummy

Thanks for stopping bye I hope you get the chance to check these out in My Shop I think they are great but then I think all my old papers are great. until next time have a wonderful day Hugs Deborah
