Next is the upcycled vintage books... I made them into little journals, filled with blank cardstock inside. Awesome place to jot down ideas or do some sketches or whatever...
The last one is a super cute chipboard book that I made with awesome scrapbook papers from Crate Paper and Studio Calico... I just showed you the front cover. When I am done I will post the inside pages.

Published!! Somerset Digital Studio Magazine ... :0)

I was informed a few months ago that my digital collage of "Hibou Blanc"(white owl) is going to be published in my favorite magazine, Somerset Digital Studio... OMG!! I can't believe it!... The Fall issue will hit the stores on Sept. 1st... so check it out. It will be featured in the Gallery section of the magazine. I had so much fun making the digital collage and I am sooo excited that it will be appearing in THIS magazine for all to see and share with. I would like to thank a friend of mine, Wendy Landis of Leaky Shed Studios(www.leakyshedstudio.com). She was the one who bought me a copy of my first Somerset Digital Studio magazine, I didn't even know they existed... and also to thank my sister, Tricia Samsal of Vintage Bliss(www.vintagebliss.typepad.com) for inspiring and encouraging me to submit my artwork to Somerset in the first place. Her handmade designs and creativity has appeared in a couple of their magazines. I can't wait to get my copy!
