Coaster Calendar

After ordering way too many coasters, I decided that I better start making some stuff! I just finished this cute little calendar using 6 coasters. It was fun to do and am debating of whether or not I should make some for an upcoming craft fair? I would adjust the calendar to start with January 2008 if I were to make them. Let me know what you think!

September Card to Crop Submission

Here is a Card to Crop layout I submitted for September. The technique I wanted to emphasize was coloring photos. While the pictures don't capture the true sparkle, the butterfly that is raised up was painted in with the Pearl Ex Pearlescent & Metallic Watercolor Palette. I also helped draw attention to the butterfly by printing the main photo in black and white and printing the butterfly itself in color and raising it with foam tape. I loved how this layout turned out. Let me know what you think!
