Digitally Dinking Around

Lately I've been attracted to altered art and just had to give it a try.  I have to thank Jane over at Mamie Jane's for getting me all fired about all of this stuff because her creations are cool!  Here's an example:

As a result, I've spent the past two weeks dinking around with a few designs while learning how to alter things digitally with a program you can download for free:  GNU Image Manipulation Program which you can find here:   www.gimp. org 

Boy, have I had fun!

The ones above are just prints - no fancy stuff, but I made a couple others where I actually did some cutting and pasting...

Go ahead, click to enlarge this one... it's a permission slip - lol.

I stained/painted some scrap trim wood from our window replacement project and sandwiched the cut outs between them so they would stand and it works very well.  I think I got that idea from Mamie Jane's too.

I found many awesome images at these great places:  Carol Anne's Boutique and Marie's Freebies   and    Primarily Primitives.  (Many thanks for their generosity!)  I also used graphics from my PrintShop program.

I just couldn't quit making things, so I made a print for my sister who recently bought her very first home:

 Here's a better view of the print

 I also sold 4 copies of this one already

(without even trying)!

So, what do you think of my new obsession??
