DMS - Grandma's Recipe

Our next assignment was to create a story. This the story of Grandma Hill's cake recipe. I used texture, blending, text, and brushes to create the montage.
Grandma Hill is on the left, and her mother Grandma Collins, is on on the right. The recipe is a scan of a handwritten cake recipe that she gave to my mother.
It is framed and hanging in the kitchen.

DMS - Widow's Walk

I am taking an online class, Digital Montage Studio, from Cindy and Sherre of the Yahoo Group, The Latest Trends in Mixed Media.
I have dabbled in digital collage for a while, but really wanted to learn more. The class has been awesome
and I have learned so much after only 5 days.
Our first theme was "Widow's Walk". Using the photos provided and following instructions this was my creation. I'm not excited about the results, but the process was a great learning experience.
