My son dan and his drummer smith have a new cd produced by Metropolis Records.
They started the band in collage and have self produced 5(+) cd's. This latest is under contract. 15 years later!
Congratulations guys!!!!

Back to doing decoupage today!!!

I picked the theme, "spring is in the air" for my artchix group lottery. The cards being made are so lovely and lots of participants. So I decided the lottery winner would need a cigar box to hold their winnings!! I gessoed the top and than decoupaged a floral image of mine that I digitalized. Added the chixie flower girl and some german scrap and a little paint! Voila, a printemps boit pour les "atcs"!

This morning!

It was so sunny today, I had to get out and take pictures of the spring bulbs before another rain comes!

Crabapple is getting ready to "bust". Wait til you see it in full bloom!

Then after I took the pictures I made myself a piece of cinnamon toast!!!

Everything is Rosie!

I started this collage a few weeks ago. I decided to mount it on a 10"x10" board with stand so it stands like a framed picture. I gessoed and colored the background and added the leaves and basket on the bottom. I think it has a more "finished" look!

Divasdeste transparencies!
