Birthday card on watercolor paper in diamond design.

I started with watercolor paper, marking off a diamond grid before stamping happy birthday and embossing it with texture.

Collaged bird journal on sheet music yellow themed.

Collaged this bird onto watercolor then attached to painted vintage sheet music for the cover. In a future posting I will share with you the other portion of the picture and what I did on the inside cover.

Oh my, this was fun. For some of the embellishments I also used my background paper I'm sharing with you on my Rustic Pixel Backgrounds blog. CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE MORE DETAILS.

My 1st blog anniversary & some tech info

It's been a year since I started my blog and I want to take this opportunity to thank all my followers and those of you who just stop by to see what I have been creating. I don't receive many comments so I really don't know what people are thinking but that may be due to the problem Blogger has with the Comments. Which leads me to the technical part of this post. I understand that Google's browser; CHROME was designed for viewing blogs. I have been using it and am able to leave comments even on my own blog now. So hopefully I can now interact with those who want to. If you tried to leave me a comment and it didn't work try CHROME as your browser when viewing blogs. It's a fast and free browser, downloads in seconds. You can find it here:
http://www.google.com/chrome?hl=en for the english version. Works with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

Did the above on watercolor paper then scanned it and played with it in Photoshop adding a vintage rose pic ripped from a 1900's magazine.

Thanks for reading! Uniquely Myself!
