Be sure to check it out:)
I recently went through all my posts here and separated them into categories, so if you’re looking for a particular type of item I’ve done it’ll be easier for you to find them.
I’m featured on the front page of the craft section on Talentdatabase.com! How cool is that?

This is really cool website to share your talents with others, there are some really creative people on there. Be sure to check it out, I’m so excited to be featured.
I’ve gotten some e-mails lately from people who have wanted to comment here on the blog. I was originally concerned that just anyone would be able to post here but now it seems no one will post because you have to register first. I have changed this (like most blogs you will need to give a name and e-mail) so now I would love to have your comments posted here.
Thanks!

I’m so excited to announce my brand new store on Esty.com ! You can now easily buy my art work directly from me. I have greeting cards, jewelry and collages there for sale. Please stop by my store and let me know what you think!
I’ve gotten questions about where I find my images. I do use some images from “collage sheets”, there are lots of wonderful places on line to buy sheets of old photos, etc. one of my favorites is Art Chix Studio: http://artchixstudio.com/
I also have a small collection of photographs of woman from the Victorian era that I purchased from a man in Britain on E-Bay. They were pricey to ship but well worth it to have some beautiful and unique images that no one else has.
I also LOVE old books and use alot of images and text from those as well. Art books, dictionaries, text books, foreign language and children’s books are my favorite ones to buy. When buying old books don’t pay too much, I usually won’t pay more than a few dollars for a book. Don’t worry about intact spines, you’ll probably be tearing out pages anyway. And be leery of buying from garage sales, rumage sales or any places books might have been stored for a long time, the reason is bugs. Silver fish love old books and you can bring them home in old books (I’ve had it happen!) and they will spread to other books, etc (yuck!) so try to buy from book shops where the books have been kept in an environment free from creepy crawlers:)
I’m so please and excited to be published in the latest issue of Altered Arts magazine!
Here’s their website: http://www.alteredarts.com/
My piece entitled “Graduation Day” is featured on page 38 of the Jan/Feb 2008 issue.
I’ve also previously been published in Vampstampnews (with an Egyptian themed coin envelope project) and Sommerset Studio Gallery (with a collaged soldered necklace piece). Also my local newpaper, the Lexington Herald Leader, used a scrapbook page of mine for an article on cooking and scrapbooking.
It’s so much fun to see your artwork in print, I hope to achive it more often!
Hello and thanks for visiting my blog! My name is Heather Holbrook and I live in Lexington KY with my husband, our cat and our three dogs. I love working with paper! About 11 years ago I learned how to stamp and got totally hooked. And I used to look at issues of Sommerset Studio Magazine and think “Gosh, I wish I could do that!”:) So I staring learning about collage. I still love stamping and making cards, I do some scrapbooking too. I love anything and everything to do with paper!
I hope to use this as a place to share my collage ideas and art work. I have another website for stamping and scrapbooking: www.heatherholbrook.myctmh.com if you’re interesting in seeing more of my work with those mediums.
Please check back often to see my artwork and feel free to join my blog and make comments, I’d love to hear what you think.
Thanks for stopping by!
