For SybilMcC - Vintage Oil Lamp - on the lamp I put a swirl pattern of Glossy Accents to give it a 3D look. (The original picture had her reading by candlelight.)
For PookieStats - Vintage Freak Show - she specifically didnÂ’t want clowns, and the bottom section of the card had a clown - so I changed it to two tigers. (I donÂ’t like clowns, either!)
For parknslide - Vintage Bathing Suits - IÂ’ve been hoarding the background papers for yearsÂ…time to actually use them. The letter reads: Dear Paulette, We ainÂ’t got much to offer, but itÂ’s all yours. (Delivered by crab mail, of course.)
For pugs99 - Vintage Wire Fox Terrier - I made a little shadow box effect by gluing together layers of chipboard. How I came up with the subject matter…. it was late, I was pushing stuff around my desk - pictures of dogs, Tim Holtz stickers…. hmmm, what if I stick this arrow on his head…. (the back of the card says, “with apologies to Steve Martin”). Poor dog, ended up having surgery on his arms to add that banjo!
tfl!!!

OH I love these. Especially mine, and you did a great job substituting the lamp for the candle. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
And about Paulette's................... She will love it.
