A free gift for your art journal or altered book

It is the season for giving and I wanted to give my friends (yes, even those of you who lurk around here) something special. Something you could keep and use all year round. Something that was very close to my heart. My journal really is in many ways my best friend. So I am in a way sharing my best friend with all of you. What could be better than the gift of friendship? Nothing could be a better gift to me.

At the top of my site you will now see a page entitled “Printable Collage”. On that page I have added my first printable collage sheet for you to download and use (over and over if you wish) for free.

The best part is that every bit and piece of that collage sheet can be used in your art journals and altered books, even in digital collage if you so choose with no restrictions. This is my gift to you. No worry about where the original images came from (I drew them all), or whether you can use them in a piece of art you later want to sell. Yes, you can!

The only restriction is that you can not redistribute them in any way. By this I mean do not take the images alone and resell them or send them off to friends or post them on your blog as your art alone. Combined with your art, or combined with other collage elements and you can do with them as you wish.

I have put this in writing on the bottom of the page so that you will always have that guarantee from me to you!

Here is a page I made in my journal where I used a few of these strips:

Next I want to put together some of these sheets with faces that you can reuse, with the same guarantee.

Here is a close up of my latest girl:

I was inspired by a certain sweet and sassy actress. Can you guess who? Leave me a comment if you think you know who it is.
