Leaping Frog Designs Is Back And I Have A Free Pink Lace Background Sheet For You

Hello Everyone!!

It has been so long since I have been

on my blog, I was afraid it had run away.

At last though here I am...

Last July (yes the one in 2013)

My poor little work horse of a computer

finally gave up the ghost.

She was a good old girl and I broke my

heart to have her give her all for me to

the end.

It also really depressed me.

What on earth was I going to do?

Lucky for me my hubby had another older

computer he booted up for me

(have I mentioned ever that my husband is a

computer geek kind of?..well he is)

So, for the last 5 months or so I have been

on an extremely basic old computer that

was not able to do any photo editing or any thing fancy

at all.  (How spoiled I have become)

This last month I decided I had had enough

got brave and bought my own computer.

Oh boooy am I in love all over again.

Last night I loaded up my new Photoshop

and went to work.

It felt soooo good to get back to it.

Here is the first image I worked on Last night

It is the front page from  a beautiful book

printed in 1897 called From Manger To Throne

I actually bought the book for the beautiful etchings

and printers ornaments it has.

 

 

I hope you enjoy it...

 

Have a wonderful weekend!!

 



Lady In Pink Dress Vintage 1859 Godey's Lady's Book Image

This beautiful Image

Originally comes from a larger

plate that Antique Images posted on

her blog last week.

I love the detailed etchings of these

highly detailed fashions.  This image  I have cropped and 

made into a png from a larger plate.  I thought

she would make a very pretty card or tag.

Enjoy!!

Oh goodness it has been

so long since I have been on my blog.

The last couple of months have been busy

end of the day to stop in and keep 

things updated.

Summer is here at last

things have slowed just a bit.

So

Tonight I have a lovely 

sweet vintage illustration of

a carriage full of songbirds.
