It's time for another give-a-way!

As I mentioned in this post sweet generous Miz Marie has gifted me with another spot in her online digital magic class to give a way here on the Collage Cat Blog. This is the fabulous class I've mentioned over and over again as being the one that finally made photoshop "click" for me. Now days I use my PSE program on a daily basis. Whether to alter photos, or whip up something fun for a blog post. I love it and am forever grateful to Marie for her wonderful instruction.

If you've been thinking you'd like to learn more about digital art, but don't know where to start I urge you to take this class, as it will be the last time Marie offers it in class format. Registration is open now and early birds can get the class for 99.00. Or you can toss your name in my virtual hat by simply commenting on this blog post. Please make sure you include your email address or a link to your blog in your post so I can find you if you turn out to be our lucky winner.

I will draw a name on Monday February 28th at 12:00 am eastern time. Don't forget to stop by Marie's blog and enter for a chance to win there as well.

Good luck to all!!

Grammy's Happy Birthday!!

Last weekend the kids and I piled into the car and went shopping for Grammy's birthday. Our plan was to gather up everything we needed for a little surprise party and show up at her house with her totally unaware!

We got her good! The birthday brigade came into the house loaded down with presents, birthday cake and roses :D We love Grammy!!!

Marie Otero's Digital Magic Class

I just wanted to give my readers a head's up. Marie will be running this class one last time before she retires it. Remember, this is the class I learned how to operate my photoshop elements software. I made these...

A whole new world hasbeen opened up to me and I'm loving digital art and having the BEST time creating fun collages without making a mess in my studio. If you've been wanting to learn how to do things like this, or perhaps just learn what tools do what in your photoshop or photoshop elements program this IS THE CLASS FOR YOU! You will NOT be disappointed I promise!

The final session of Digital Magic begins March 5th. If you sign up now you can purchase the class for only 99.00 (normal price is 129.00).

Marie has gifted me with one seat to give away here on the Collage Cat blog, and she'll be giving away a seat on her Lost Aussie Blog as well, so stay tuned for that drawing announcement and double your chances of winning by entering on both blogs.

Silly model!

Miz Priss and I were in my portrait studio playing around with the light from the chandelier. I had a clever idea I wanted to try out so I turned off the on board flash and all the other lights and let the glow of 6 little bulbs bathe my pretty girl in creaminess. I was "all prepared" to have a knock out mini session, but as you can see from these photos Chloe was on a completely different page.

She couldn't stop laughing and I couldn't stop laughing at her.

I guess it's hard not to be silly when you're rockin socks like these.

thanks for the giggles baby girl!

I'll cherish these photos always.

A wonderful birthday!!

Words cannot express how loved and special the well wishes all of my friends sent me today on facebook. I felt like a rock-star or a princess! Thank you to all who took time out of your busy lives to stop and send me a greeting. I really appreciate it, and want you to know that you made my birthday extra special!

Big Daddy brought me tacos for lunch and a really pretty hot pink and zebra print birthday cake :D thanks honey!

I spent this very chilly afternoon next to a roaring fire in the fireplace and worked on my homework assignment for Marie's journal magic class. I learned several new techniques this week and I'm excited about applying what I learned to future creations. Thanks Marie!
