Collage Packs - New Item in my Etsy Shop!


I opened VIDA DESIGNS, my online paper supply store more than three years ago! Time flies when you are having fun I guess! After years of buying, collecting, sorting and organizing paper I find I have so much stuff. Lots of what I have stashed away is just fantastic but severely random! I decided to start sharing some of my fantastic paper stash by putting together paper packs for collage artist and scrapbookers. I think I like picking out papers and making a "composition" from all the peices probably more than people like using them!! They are so beautiful they are hard to sell. I just want to look at them. Um - does that make me crazy?!! :)
Here are a few....... click on the title of each to view them in my shop.

"In the Garden"










 "Around the World"








"Natural Chic"






"Color is the Spice of Life!"




These packs are stuffed full of all types of wonderful papers!  Collage packs include some of the following:  book pages, wallpaper, cards, foreign language text, vintage textbook pages, magazine clippings, die cut shapes, vintage sheet music, tags, envelopes, maps, designer scrapbooking papers, cardstock, woven grass papers, fabric sample cards, handmade papers, photographs or chipboard.

CREATIVE TO-DO LIST. Not an oxymoron.




The next time you need to write a to-do-list, you can make it an art project!

 

I had lots of ideas swirling in my head. I wanted them out of my mind but not to be forgotten.  If I write down my ideas I seem to get some relief from having to think too much! 

 

I was in need of a good list but also in the mood to be creative and colorful!  So – I did both at the same time!!

 

Here is my ENORMOUS, colorful to-do-list!

 

I will update with images of my progress as I tackle crossing out each colorful line.


Have I ever mentioned that I love sharpie markers?  I like Prismacolor markers a lot also.  They are much more expensive though, which makes them a little less practical to have a multitude of them.
