The Shop!

I want to thank everyone for their wonderful comments, thoughts and prayers concerning my mother! She is on the road to recovery, but it is a daily process. She can now walk up to ten minutes after each meal, which is a great accomplishment.
So, I'm taking Susan Tuttle's online Digital Layers class. Diane told me it would change my art, and was she ever right! I had no idea the different ways you could alter textures. To say the least, I'm having a blast! Here is one of my first attempts at using three textures. Postcard is from FrenchKissed and textures are from ShadowHouse Creations and Last Door Down the Hall.

  1. I'm so glad you are learning all these new techniques - It really is life changing! I remember when I first started with layers - I would scan every thing in sight just to get a new texture. I even scanned the palm of my hand at one point! Your work is looking wonderful. Hope your mum is 100% soon. Sending lots of positive energy Anji
