PRETTY PAPERS......

I have been really busy this week working away in Photoshop putting together new designs for my Etsy store YOUR CRAFT EPHEMERA.  One thing I wanted to create was more pretty florals and papers so that was the starting point for this new collection called PRETTY PAPERS.

These designs were inspired by vintage wallpaper from the 1930s and 1940s, enjoy!

If you would like to see more designs please drop by my Etsy store YOUR CRAFT BOOK, you can find it by clicking HERE.

MY SECOND BLOG GIVE AWAY WINNER IS...

I am at the moment an old fashioned type of girl and for me the tried true and tested manner of putting names in a hat works for me.  I know that are more modern ways to do it but as of yet my computer savvyness (is there such a word) has not caught up with technology of that sort.

So I am now happy to announce my second blog winner and it is......

 CARMELINA of CREATIVE CARMELINA.

Carmelina has won a $25.00 gift certificate to be used at any of my three Etsy stores which can be found below.

LATEST DESIGN 'MISS DOLLY'......



Perfect size for hang tags, atc and aceo......

 

All occasion card design.....

  

Large print perfect for home decor, journals or scrapbooking......

This latest design was completely built around this wonderful image of the little girl with her dogs.  I knew as soon as I finished restoring this postcard that these little charmers would find their way into one of my designs.

Miss Dolly as I like to call her reminded me of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz and Toto, so that was my jumping off point.

Miss Dolly travelled around Oz and during that time she made friends with a blackbird called Freddy and they became firm friends.  Freddie had managed to escape from a blackbird pie and was very grateful to be safe once again.  The blackbird flew high in the sky and helped lead Miss Dolly home.  Like all good little girls Miss Dolly did not want to arrive home empty handed so she came bearing beautiful flowers for her parents.

Patch not wanting to be left out has found a new friend called 'Trotter and they were both pleased to be home with a warm fire to snuggle up to, bliss indeed!

This charming new design is available in my Etsy store YOUR CRAFT EPHEMERA and you can find it HERE.
