Blessed Christmas Collage Sheet

Seems that we haven't even finished our

Halloween candy yet and thoughts are

already turning toward Christmas!

In my heart I believe in the miracle

of Christmas and celebrate the birth

of Jesus right along with family and

friends. I made these tags in honor

of that belief and hope that they

bring you joy as well. The sheet

can be purchased by going here

or to any of the links that you see

in the right column of this page.

Becky has also made some wonderful

new sheets which can be seen on our

website MoonlightJourney.

A Free Collage Sheet For You!

Fall is here! The leaves are falling at a rapid rate
where I live so it's time for me to go raking. Below
you will find Becky's post that she wrote on her blog
and since she is the other half of MoonlightJourney,
I have stolen it from her and put it here...

The Falling of the Leaves
Autumn is over the long leaves that love us,
And over the mice in the barley sheaves;
Yellow the leaves of the rowan above us,
And yellow the wet wild-strawberry leaves.
The hour of the waning of love has beset us,
And weary and worn are our sad souls now;
Let us patt, ere the season of passion forget us,
With a kiss and a tear on thy drooping brow.
by William Butler Yeats


As Autumn is in it's last few weeks and the cooler
weather approaches I always feel the need to sit
by the fire and let my mind wander to those
places the creative energy flows from.
Lynne and I at Moonlight Journey have been
busy getting ready for the influx of Holiday Creating.
This collage sheet is for every one who feels that
creative spark approaching as the days grow
shorter and colder, the time when we have
an excuse to stay inside and create!

Digital Elements from Lisa's Altered Art

Oh me, oh my!
I've been priviledged to be a Design Team member
at Lisa's Altered Art for a while now and always
get such a kick out of her designs. But I am really
thrilled that she has decided to sell her wonderful
art as Digital Packs. These packs contain png files
(all the backgrounds are transparent) so using them in
my digital art is a breeze. No more tedious extracting -
it's all done for us! If you love making scrapbook pages
or any other digital art, just click on the title of this
post to see the very first kit. I know other kits will follow
and I can't wait to get my artistic hands on them!

Photoshop For Beginners

I've written another e-class specifically

for those out there who are dying to

learn the ins & outs of Photoshop.

This class is for the beginner who knows

nothing about Photoshop but who wants

to learn it without weeping out loud.

It is written for Photoshop CS3 but will

work in other versions and Paint Shop Pro.

The tools are just about the same and once

you get the hang of where to find what,

you'll be more comfortable with your program.

This is a large lesson and shows you how to set

up a workspace, where to find the tools, what

palettes are for and touches on how to make layers.

You can get the instant download by clicking HERE.

I also put it on Etsy.

It's not on my website yet but it will be soon.

The cost for this lesson is $5. and since it

comes to you in .pdf format, you can

save it to your computer and keep it forever!

Business Cards new on Etsy

I thought I'd try something new so I made

two business cards for sale right now in my

Etsy store. Just click on the title of this post

to go there and read about how to have

your card customized by little old me!

I will be at our Humane Society's Dog Walk

tomorrow. The weather looks wonderful and

the trees are just turning their colors. It

should be a spectacular event. If you are in the

Port Jervis, NY area just click here to read about it!

Vampire Nights Collage Sheet

When I was about 10 years old
(that would be eons ago!)
my best friend & I would get
together once a week at his house.
His Mom would make homemade pizza
and we were allowed to watch
Chiller Theater. This was a very
grown-up thing to do because they
only showed horror movies. These
days, we call them "classics" -
no graphic violence like we have today
but you didn't need the blood & guts
to have the snot scared out of you.

The first time I saw Dracula starring
Bella Lugosi, I was scared out of my mind.
I slept with a towel wrapped around my neck
for weeks. But I did love Bella. His voice
so smooth and his eyes so frightening.

Thus began my love affair with vampires.
Throw in a Wolfman and I am in heaven.

This collage sheet is my interpretation
of the vampires of my nightmares and
my dreams. I hope you like them too
and they inspire you to do some
spooky art this Halloween season.

My Witchy Friends Collage Sheet

I managed to sneak in some artistic computer time

the other day (as opposed to "have to work for a living"

computer time) and this is what my Muse guided me

to make. Can you tell the mood I'm in lately?

When I make a collage sheet, I try to add things

that can be used alone or in collages. When I make

art, I love to have little bits & pieces handy so I can

"fill out" my collage. One can never have too many

little bits when creating art!

Hope you like this sheet. You can find it everywhere

but if you click the title of this post, you can go

to my website where you'll find lots of beautiful

collage sheets to use in your artistic endeavors.
