Farm Collage


I had a crafty weekend and completed two shadowbox collages. I got the frame at Michael's for $3.99!

This farm collage was so fun to make. A friend of mine at work asked me to create this for her parents as an Anniversary Gift.

I asked her to describe the farm and after going onto SVG Cuts the Grandpa's Organic Farm Collection had almost everything I needed (even a windmill). Mary - you must of done your research on that one. I also used the cow from Harvest Hill Farm. Puppy is from Doggie Pals I and it captured their dog Angel perfectly.

I tried something new for this collage - Cri-Kits Pens. I won these in a recent challenge on the SCAL Forum. I love these! I did the farm name and Established with the pens.



It draws where it would normally cut so I had to play around with the fonts a bit. I converted my fonts to outline in Illustrator and made them into a single line. It was so much fun.


Cri-Kits is having a challenge on their blog and I entered this. Click for the challenge details.

Guess what...I am on FB Now - Check out my page.

Plus I figured out how to add an email subscribe feature on my blog -----------------> Check it out on the right side of my blog.

Easter ATCs


I had so much fun making these Easter ATCs for the SVG Cuts Swap. ATC stands for Artist Trading Card. They are 2.5" wide x 3.5" high.


I tried to pair a fun whimsical card with a more traditional card.

These work perfect for cards or a cute little bag.

Join in on the next swap - I think it is going to be a floral swap. Fun!
