Have I ever told you I love paper and collage! LOL…
The process of layering papers and watching it come together is so soothing to me.
I also love creating my own collage papers.
I knew I wanted specific colors and after going through my stash and not finding the right ones… I printed out some wonderful vintage papers and went to town.
The inspiration for today’s piece came as a surprise, when I least expected it the words and the meaning came pouring out.
I’ll tell you all about it in the video.
This original is available HERE and the print available HERE

Thank you for sharing.
Hi Cookie,

Hi Shawn! This is such a beautiful piece and I loved watching you create your collage papers! Thanks so much for sharing! BTW, I tried to log in to the Resource Library like I always do, and I keep getting an error message that it’s not on the server. I was checking to see if anyone else has been having trouble getting in. Thanks so much! Cherie
Hi Cherie,
Were you able to get into the library? I have double checked and had the girls in the office log in and we didn’t have any problem. Just want to check and make sure your using the updated password for the library.
Thanks!
Hi Shawn,
Thanks for checking in with me. I have tried to log in several times using the new password and it comes back with this error message: “Not Acceptable!
An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security.”
I had no trouble getting in there early last week, using the same password that was in the email this past Sunday, 12/6. It seems your servers are blocking my request to access your servers. I don’t know, too much techy stuff. LOL
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.
