However, it had some rather interesting stitches on it. Embroidered by my grandmother many moons ago and it was almost completely ruined from years of washing and use. But I decided I wanted to preserve this little bit of family history. So I removed that part of the pillow case and ironed the piece. As I ironed it to prepare it for proper storage (until I can make something wonderful of it), I fell in love with the design. So what did I do with it? Well, I used this piece of grandma's heart, as inspiration to craft up a new digi kit. Okay, actually it turned out to be a mini-kit at this point. But it will eventually be a full size kit. I'm just still playing around with ideas.
Since I have so many paper scrapping friends too. I went ahead and put together a new "Paints Printz" kit for them to download and print for their paper albums.
Then I gave these kits out as freebies for CHW members who joined me in a couple of chats this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing what they make with them.
Here's a few little goodies I created using the digi mini-kit:
Our grandaughter in her Trick-or-Treat outfit.

A greeting card design that's now ready to print and send out

Since I'm still new to the digi-art world, I'm always experimenting with my toys to see what I can do. When creating this last piece I was trying to teach myself how to distress and warp a photograph. I think the experiment went well. Even though it's different from what I intended, I still like the outcome.
Thanks for visiting my blog today!
P.S. In case anyone is wondering -- NO! I did not trample on any copyright laws in designing these kits!
