8th Annual Edgar Allan Poe Blog Hop presented by LeighSBDesigns!

 Master Poe's birthdays are rolling around as fast as mine seem to these past few years and it is here for 2023!  Each year we join Leigh in celebrating Edgar Allan Poe's birthday with an epic blog hop!  Leigh just released a brand new Poe Collection and I was so happy to work with one of the designs today!

Sometimes I see something and an idea goes off in my old head and this was the results of that whole probably hilarious process happening!  I used the wonderful new design Conspiracy of Ravens (comes with 2 senties) and one of the sentiments and some rice paper bought long ago!  I wanted this page to look like something you might find in an attic that someone had saved and maybe mapped bits of articles together following a case from years ago!  Printing on the rice paper gave an old newspaper feel to the image and senti I thought.  I inked the background rice paper and bits from an old dictionary which I grabbed two wonderful word sets: barbed wire and coldblooded which the latter is covered by my awesome new desk paperweight!  Noah gave the paperweight to me and besides totally loving it I realized he does listen to my favorite repeat subjects it seems!   Check out the new Poe 2023 Collection by LeighSBDesigns!  It is awesome!  I am entering this at the 8th Annual Edgar Allan Poe Blog Hop presented by LeighSBDesigns!
