2 new desktops i made

i made these two new desktops today and had to share...

for New Year's - using the freebie kit from Katie Pertiet at http://www.designerdigitals.com/ (i changed the colors).

i made the fortune by scanning it and warping it.

this one i used images from the web with a background and elements from Katie Pertiet at http://www.designerdigitals.com/, and frames from Rita at http://www.thecoffeeshopblog.com/.

images are from these, among others: http://www.sweetasacandy.com/, http://acottageinthewoods.tumblr.com/, and http://www.graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/.

the hydrangeas are from ME! (see below for FREEBIE)

this one reminds me of my grandmother, who loved to sew, knit, cook, travel, and do many other things. i always think of her with a needle or two (or ten!) stuck on her chest thru her sweater -- so she wouldn't lose them! even many years after not sewing (after her eyesight was too bad), she always kept some "equipment" around her.
