Mary Beth's Birthday Collage :-)

Hello friends..and welcome to my blog.

Today I created a Digital Collage for my Really Good Friend 

Marybeth.  We have been painting friends forever!

I started out with some images from 

Gecko Galz

(the beauty and the white frame)

and 

Graphics Fairy 

(I used one of her little birds, flowers and background sheet)

and

Aunt Owwee's Flickr Photo stream

Here is my creation below.

The wonderful red barn wood came from Aunt Owwe's photo stream.  I was happy to see that she too was from Michigan too.

I used Gimp to create this fabby collage.

If you would like to learn some beginning collage techniques you can join my Group at Bella Creations (free) and play along in some challenges...or you can just view my GIMP tutorials on my GIMP page (see the tab under my header).

Hope you have an Awesomesauce Day!
I have found a fun place to link up...lots of fun inspiration there!!
