Take a Word - Time

For TAW challenge, Rian has set Time as the theme. I have done this digital collage using my baby sister, my 8th grade class (me on the far left), and my grandfather's grandmother at the top. I was trying to show several stages of aging.

Tag it On - Transportation

For this tag, my entry to Tag it On, I have used Bazzill cardstock and have punched the corners with a Martha Stewart punch. The background is ordinary cardstock that I have misted with homemade shimmery mist along with some from Moonglow. The old car came from a magazine. The woman feeding chickens is one of my dh's ancestors. The stamps I used are from Stampin' Up and Purple Onion and are heat embossed with fine gold embossing powder. Helen chose this theme of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

So Artful - Warsaw Angel

For the So Artful Challenge this week we were given a couple of angels images to use in our entries. I chose the Warsaw angel. The background sky scene is my interpretation of a sky image given to use in another challenge (Art Cards) this week. I also used the same sky as my entry for Paint Party Friday. I love this sky so you may see it even more times!

Artekarten - Postage Stamp People

For Art Cards I am entering this ATC with a Canadian postage stamp. The body is of my mother's first cousin. The background is done with the broken glass technique.

I went back and watched the video. I see that I have made mine backwards!!! There is no way on the challenge to delete an entry. So just forgive my ignorance and I will do better next time.

Below is how a Postage Person is supposed to look: the stamp is on the top, not underneath.

Rainbow Lady's Silver

Cynthia and her husband are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary so she has chosen silver as the theme for Rainbow Lady's Challenge.

The silver rectangle that says: on your special day and the square which has a swirly design are an RAK from Frankie. The butterfly is actually a silver filigree pin.  Silver does not show up well on my camera. I really wish the swirly pattern showed up. It's really neat.

Squares and Circles - The 3 Muses

My entry for Circles and Squares for the Three Muses Challenge started with the background from Dezinaworld. The dill png is one I made from a photo I made of my dill plant. The gold circle with the flower is also a png I made from a stamping I had done using a craft foam stamp (not one I cut). This entry is all digital.

Take a Word - Childhood

This is my entry for Take a Word - Childhood. These photos were taken of my husband and his sister and brother. He says he remembers the pony well and that he was scared to death.
