"FAITH"

Angels give perspective. 

No matter how difficult, hopeless, or joyless your life seems, 

the angels will teach you how to return to strength and happiness.

Hi my dear blogfriends

I wish you all a Merry Christmas 

and above all, a Healty

and Happy New Year !!!

I have not had the opportunity to return in blogland yet

but I enjoy catching up my emails,

read about your live at facebook,

sharing some fun too because I have 'good' days as well

and play with photoshop once in a while to clear my mind.

I still miss you all so much and I thank you

for your kindness and patience.

Hugsss Rian

Dear Blog-Friends

For an indefinite period of time, 

I'm unfortunately forced to take a big step back

 in terms of my blog,  challenges and updating my shop.
I'm really sorry but right now,  

my life has changed upside down,

I hope you can understand that I can't explain why.

Some things I don't share on the internet

because they are private.

If possible I will be online to check my emails 

but if I can't write you back within a day, please be patient with me :-)
I already will miss you all so much and hope to be back very soon !!!
 With all my love !!!! XXX
Rian

 

( I've upload this original postcard for you at my freebie-blog)

Enjoy !!

I received my altered tin boxes yesterday and don't they look fabulous ?

 I'm so happy that Patti made them special for me.
Thanks a lot my friend !!!
If you are interested in Patti's art, please take a look at her shop at Etsy !!

Playtime with photoshop :-)

Theme ; Challenge " TakeAWord "  / ANGEL

This is probably not my most time consuming photoshop design

but in order to follow the theme I used this postcard

with some cute little angels.

A while ago I found this Photoshop action that I had to try,

and that I have to share with you !!

It's such a easy going action which also works in

photoshop Elements. (According to the maker)

 I've tested it in an older PScs2 version of my and it worked too

****************************

It creates a paper map of a small box . Printable !!

You just have to download it and to instal it YOUR PSversion.

Easy peasy :-)

(this is a clickable smaller sample, the real size is A4)

I didn't had time yet to print it - cut out - and fold

but isn't it a fun idea for a personal gift ?

Ofcourse you can use a photo from your own stash but

if you want to grab my postcard to try it....feel free !!

5 new Happy Holi Hindu collage sheets !!!!

which you can combine together with lots of striking embellishments

and bright backgrounds.

About the sheets and for your INSPIRATION.

Thinking about India is thinking about colorful people,

a rich culture and a diversity of religions.

*Think of the colorful festivals like "Happy Holi Phagwa" - Diwaldi and Sankriti.

*Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism.

*New Delhi - Mumbai - The Tai Mahal - the national park valley of flowers !!

*Think of paisley patterns and textiles. Kashmir (cashmere wool)

*The traditional Indian dance styles such as the Bharatanatyam

*Bollywood !! The Ganges river, Yoga. The "holy"cow. The tasteful curries !!

And the snake charmer !!

*And...at least..think about Mehndi art ! ( henna tattoos)

Well...do I have to tell more ? Amen ! LOL.

Ofcourse the sheets are not only available as PNG's but as JPEG's as well !!

And again I am extremely grateful to my DT team for their inspirational contributions.They amaze me every time so please take a moment to see many different possibilities how my new collage sheets can be used
