Virtual Valentine and TastyLinks!


I feel a bit remiss at not posting any free Valentine’s Day projects this past week. I’ve been busy playing catch up at the studio and regrouping after a few set backs and not had time to whip up new ideas. Excuses, excuses...

I hope you’re having a lovely day and someone made it special, but if not please consider this virtual Valentine I made from a picture taken by my friend Wyatt White my way of saying “I Heart You”! Because I do!


I just got these fantastic pictures from my co-author Fernando DaSilva from our book signing at the Create Your Style with CRYSTALLIZED-Swarovski Elements event in Tucson. I did a little Photoshop work on them to brighten them up and add text. The crystal curtain behind us was creating prisms in the showroom, it made us feel like beady rock stars!

It’s time for the Linky Love yet again! Enjoy this week’s sampling of TastyLinks™ and I’ll be back with some more free book projects and more product giveaways next week!
