Holiday Happiness
This is Arlana posting this week. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. As Thanksgiving is over and as we get ready to embark upon another holiday, I hope that we can enjoy this special time of year and keep enjoying family, friends, fun and laughter.

 I feel that we have all become great friends on this blog. May you continue to enjoy my sketches. Come here often as we enjoy seeing your sweet creations.

This week I am posting a added give away from my talented daughter who is a professional photographer. I love her work and she is just so incredible. She made this digital card with my sketch and added her texture pack. Her give away will be done separately from mine and will be announced next week.



Hardman Designs offers Texture Packs for photo editing, and digital design.  Amber has been working as a  designer for Photo Prop Floors and Backdrops for almost 2 years. In the last few years, Amber has created textures to use in her design work and her photography, that has set her out ahead of the rest.  Hardman Designs is happy to announce their first texture pack - "Rag A Muffin Textures." This texture pack is perfect for anyone who wants to add a little extra something to their pictures in photo shop or other picture editing software, as well as for the digital design fanatic.

Hardman Designs is excited to give away a free download of their Rag A Muffin Texture Pack that can be seen here:  http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.288644901159365.74579.287025611321294&type=1#!/photo.php?fbid=293120724045116&set=a.288644901159365.74579.287025611321294&type=3&theater
