Digital Challenge

This is a Mail Order Brides themed challenge in keeping with the “Women in History” month for
The Latest Trends in Mixed Media Arts Yahoo group.

This digital piece was made in Paint Shop Pro with all of my own ephemera. The woman is my Grandma, the writing are my Grandpa’s sermon notes, the kids on horses are my dad and a cousin. The newspaper is from my mom’s side as well as the house picture which was a ad for sewing notions.

Just to be clear..Grandma WAS NOT a mailorder bride…don’t want to upset any of the realtives. :)

Digital Challenge

I did some work in PSP today for a digital challenge posted on TheLatestTrendsinMixedMediaArts. It’s layers of digital ephemera and a picture taken by my neighbor with some filters thrown in for good measure.

More digital…and gingerbread

Spent some more time playing after getting back from a gingerbread house party at school.

I’ll have to take a picture of those as well. They sure had fun making them!

Goodie…more candy…

Digital work

I’ve also been spending a little time playing with my graphics program again.

Here’s what I came up with.

Morning beauty

I got up this morning to a beautiful site.

Hoarfrost on everything outside.

Notice the temp on the tree… 10 above.

New look for the blog

I’ve been playing with Paintshop Pro again. I made a new banner for my page from a picture of some of my own art. I changed the colors, cut, resized and tweaked it in many ways. I like the end result. I had to change the other colors of the blog though since they didn’t really mesh with the new banner. I’m thinking of making up several banners…maybe even seasonal…don’t know but stay tuned.

More digital art

I’ve been working on some different digital designs for a project. The pink one made really nice copies so I’m definitely using that one. The dark one copied ok but didn’t like it once it was on the cardstock. I’ve been putting other embellishments on it trying to get the look I want but am still not satisfied. I REALLY wanted the white set to copy but the subtle background texture didn’t show.
