She is totally colored and paper pieced on the computer in Photoshop.
I printed off an extra layer just of the rag doll and fussy cut her out, she is placed with dimensional foam.  I also layered the card onto PTI card stock in Ripe Avocado and Royal Velvet.  The ribbon and button is also PTI.
 Just another few little details of using a corner rounder on the decorated paper and a white gel pen to place dots on her bow and the hearts.

My Memories Suite

I have been so very blessed these past few weeks.  I woke up one morning to a very happy email

day from Liz at My Memories Suite.

She said she had been by my blog

 (yes, the one you are reading right at this very moment)

and was wondering if I would like to become an affiliate for

My Memories Suite.

I would get a free full version download to try

AND

I would also get a free full version download to GIVE AWAY!

Holy Help Me Hannah!

Yes, Please!

I have used many different scrapbooking software programs over the years

mainly going with photoshop as my go to program.

There is one downside to PS for creative

people as myself it is very distracting.

I tend to loose days while working on projects.

It is so bad I have enrolled in a class on how to use your time

wisely and yet creatively while using PS.

Hehehe, I know!  

Seriously, it is that bad there is a special class

just for peeps such as myself.

My Memories Suite was a blessing.

It comes with

  multiple preloaded templates

(I call them Drop and Plop)

Everything is right there you need to pick your photos and

drop them into place.

Yes, it is that simple!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT

you can also use any image files you already

have on your computer.

THERE IS NO LIMIT!

The same files you can also import into your current programs

such as Photoshop.

That is right, My Memories Suite does not use an exclusive file it

simply uses any image file such as  .jpg

Here is a preloaded template page that I used right out of the gate it 

comes from the template All Year Round Seasons...

Here is a screen shot of the album

and the page I chose to create with.

Below is an introduction video that is very helpful in explaining just how easy

yet powerful this program is.

And for the GIVEAWAY...

Here are the rules.

Please become a follower of my blog, you can easily do

that in my sidebar.

I  also require you to like

Sara's Creative Adventures

Over on

FACEBOOK

There is a link in my sidebar to that page as well.

That is it, I will pick a random winner from

the eligible entries on

Friday August 31st 2012.

So, some pretty big news and a gigantic freebie to boot!!!!

I also have a permanent number that will save you $10.00 on

your purchase of

My Memories Suite 3

and give you a number

for $10.00 

to use in the 

My Memories Suite Store.

That special code is found in my sidebar under My Memories Suite logo.

And when you visit My Memories Suite you can set up an account

So go check them out today.

Happy Stamp Day, God Bless.

Peek a Boo lamp shade

I have had this project made for some time now, it is a throw back submission project.

I happen to adore it and it sits with my poetry books on the shelf.

The beads are made from paper strung onto twine.

The bottle is a reclaimed sauce bottle of some sort filled with beads and rolled paper.

The light fixture was purchased at Hobby Lobby

 and the shade

at Menard's.

(I covered the shade with burlap)

Now let me light up your world...

I know, Pretty darn COOL!

The raven is a brush I printed out from

photoshop and cut with a xacto knife.

(I printed off just on COPY paper on the darkest ink setting I have.)

Try making something similar for the up and coming fall season.

Happy Stamp Day, God Bless!
