(Stop in and tell her hello!)
(Stop in and tell her hello!)
Let it be said (as if you didn't already know...) I LOVE PINK! Yes! Yes! Yes I do!
All my life I have loved pink! Oh my gosh! I just realized...
I'M IN LOVE WITH PINK!
Who knew????
~PINK CORSET CARDS~
All my life I have loved pink! Oh my gosh! I just realized...
I'M IN LOVE WITH PINK!
Who knew????
Today I'm going to show you some of the things I've been working on lately that have been taking up MOST of my time! I'm living smack-dab in the middle of my PASSION! :)
Are you???
~SWEET PINK BUSTIER (Boost-tee-a)~
I've you've followed my Blog for any time (or even if you just peek in once in awhile) then you probably know I own a little on-line website called A Gathering Place. I spent lots of time over the summer working on romantic cottage pretties for the Shoppe (some to be uploaded this week) as well as fresh new designs for my Altered de Papier line of paper-goods. Let me tell you...it's been a RIDE! :)
~SOOO ROMANTIC~
Now...I'm just going to be flat-out honest with you and say right up-front that learning Paint Shop Pro and Photo Shop has just about kicked my Bumm to the the other side of the world and back again. Wow!!! What a challenge it's been for me to wrap my brain around the technicality of those Programs! They've been hard to learn (at least for me)...but NO WAY was I going to give up!!!
So...if you are just starting to learn either of these computer programs please don't be discouraged! If I can learn them you can learn them!
~SWEET PINK SANTA CARDS, TOO~
In addition to creating the Vintage Corset (coming soon) and Dress Form Cards the sweet Pink Santa Cards you see above have just been finished as well. I hope you will check them out when you have time...there are matching Hang Tags, too!
I just can't get enough of those aging St. Nick graphics! Yummo!
I've managed to do a little bit of painting and sewing and believe it or not I've even enjoyed a couple of Saturdays out JUNKIN' and SLUMMIN' for exciting treasures and neat old finds!
~SWEET PINK HANGING SACHET~
And...if I could get Blogger to STOP rotating my vertical style pictures to landscape style pictures I would upload them and show them to you! :( Maybe next week I can figure out WHAT it is I'm suppose to be doing with them that obviously I'm not doing right now! Argh...
Thanks for peeking in today to see my latest PINK PRODUCTS! Don't forget to check out all the fabulous PINK SATURDAY PARTICIPANTS as they always have the most amazing things! You will love it!
Blessings for a lovely Saturday!
Love to you~

Hello my sweet friend! As always your pinks are sooooo pretty and romantic. Every time I see the pink Santa, I want to get busy decorating my home for Christmas. Yummo is right. Great job learning the programs, I get a bit frustrated too with computer stuff, but when you get it right it can be just soooo delightful! Happy Pink Saturday.
Hugs,
Olivia
Hello, Rebecca!!
Yes, it has been a busy summer, hasn't it!!
Lovely things you have been creating as always!
Glad to see you here, it is always a pleasure to visit you!!
Hugs,
Debbie
I love pink too Rebecca and you sure have lots of pretties to show! Enjoy your day and take a break, sit a spell and sip some tea! HUGS!
Your enthousiasm sparks of my laptop screen! It sounds very inspiring and I must say I very much admire your cards.
Maybe you are encountering a few problems with Blogger because of the changes. In a few days time we cannot you use the old editor anymore for instance. I shall cry, because I will not know how to place my photographs ..... I read more despair on this on other blogs, like some Dutch girl saying - I will throw out my computer out of the window because of Blogger. Well, if you have managed to handle these new programs, you will manage the new Blogger just as well.
I love your word use and your writing, it is maybe the way also that you talk? (= a compliment!)
Happy weekend!
PS Before sending this I copied the text ..... and guess what, I got thrown out of the comment system ..... grrr
One more try! (with the copied text)
Hello Rebecca and Happy Pink Saturday! I love your blog it is so sweet and pretty! Just darling!
Hello Rebecca! Such lovliness! I love your new line of cards. Gorgeous!

Rebecca.....Everything you create is so soft, feminine and gorgeous!!! You're amazing to me, with your creativity, energy and your sweet spirit surrounding you in all that you do.
Hugs,
I've had Photo Shop Elements for sometime now and know a few tricks. I have a reference book on the program too but I would very much like to take a class. It's so much easier for me to see an application in action and learn from that.
Happy Pink Saturday Rebecca, Congratulations on being featured this PS. Love all your pink things, gorgeous! Have a wonderful day.
Congratulations Rebecca on being featured today. Your post is beautiful as always and I enjoy seeing what you have been up to.
I too had problems with blogger rotating my pictures, but since using Flickr, that has not happened. Happy Pink Saturday, Char
Wow Rebecca, I looooooove your Santa cards. They are so beautiful, you did a wonderful job on them. I went to a class Monday on Photoshop and WOW I didn't know how involved it was. You gifted us all with such lovely pinks today, thank you!!
Hugs friend,
Ginger

Hi Rebecca! I love your cards. You have such a great eye for what looks good on paper!!! :) It's pretty obvious that you are an artist and love what you do!

Your love and ideas really show in your pink feature today. You have some lovely items, and I enjoyed your blog.
Hi Rebecca, Thank you so kindly for stopping over and visiting my blog.....my Pink Saturday post was not yet up, but is now and I hope that you just take a second to stop back to see what I posted for P.S. I am new to this group and am so EXCITED! My favorite color is pink and my entire home is decorated in pinks, greens, yellows, and ivories. Maybe you could already tell from my blog that pink and green are my faves! You have just one of the most beautiful blogs that I've ever seen and I would like to feature one of your posts if you ever choose to link up to either my Friday or Saturday hops. Saturdays are for anything in season; and Fridays are anything fresh (ie: pink roses!) clean and pure. I am now following and will very much enjoy reading your inspirational thoughts and photos! Love, Roz over at La Bella Vita
Hi Rebecca, Happy Pink Saturday and all your Pinks are beautiful, I posted your button and I titled it Rebecca's Beautiful Pinks, it looks great, love to you Rebecca, if you were closer I would give you Hugs, consider hugs sent your way my friend! XOXO Marilou
Hi Rebecca, The link doesn't work to mine as it needs one set of http// or what ever that linky thing is less. Try it when you have time, I think you just have to copy and paste the code instead of a pic?? You can probably figure it out when you try it,, you can delete this when you are done, lol hugs again
Beautiful pink post today. Your Christmas cards are so soft, sparkly & magical. Yes, I believe the Sugar Plum faeries are already dancing in my head, in anticipation of the Christmas holidays.
See you soon at your lovely Shoppe.

"Good 'Ol Texas"
Wow! Your blog is fantastic! Thanks for visiting me.
I love the beautiful box with roses and the cards. Wishing they were mine.
greetings from Holland and a happy Pink Saturday!
Rebecca ! Your cute little sachet gave me an idea. I will make those up and try to sell them at the Flea Market if we ever get moved!!
Hello Rebecca... your pinks are all lovely, and I especially love the pink Christmas cards... thank you for visiting me today... no, my present from Miss K has not arrived yet...rats! I will call you as soon as it does! I can't wait! Please tell her I said hello... xoxo Julie Marie
What heavenly cards...it would be hard to choose...
Glad you are living among your passion, again. That is the best place to live!
Hugs,

O what pretty pinks...
I HAVE to have some PINK SANTA CARDS...so am going right over.
hugs, bj
O, and thanks so much for coming by..your sweetness makes me feel so good. :))
The fix to the vertical pictures is fairly simple, but who knows why Blogger doesn't make this info easier to find. Open the pictures in Photo Shop or whatever picture enhancer you're using. Then resave them as a .PNG
Once you reload them back on Blogger, the pictures will be vertical they way they should.
I've also heard that if your camera is set to turn the pictures automatically, turn that feature off and new pics can be saved as a .JPG as usual.
Never tried that, but resaving pics to a .PNG has worked for me.
I love pink!

Hi Rebecca- It's funny but when I think of YOU -I always things of you as being surrounded by PINK...Could it be the color of your blog...could it be the color of your products? No-I think it is the sweetness of your soul....
Your products are beautiful and I love those Vintage Santas sooo much...even if you do think my family looks like monkeys-lol Hugs- Diana

Hi Rebecca...
Beautiful work, as always..
Did you know I used to have a craft painting business...we were in three major markets for several years, and I painted and sold wholesale and retail for 20 years. That was my passion and I haven't found another one since.
I love reading blogs and working on my little house. Blogs are a great source for ideas..and you make the sweetest little friends here..
Hugs,
glenda xo

Hi Rebecca,
Of course I love all the pinks, especially the sachet! But my favorite part of this post are the encouraging words about Photo Shop and Paint Shop Pro! They are kicking by Bumm too! There are times I just want to give up on them. Gad!
Have a great week, xo, Karen
Hi Rebecca,
I knew you had been fallen into the PINK pot! LOL I love these cards..you have been real busy I can see.
Happy {belated} PiNk to you,
