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.

Black and White

Here is my black and white ATC for Take a Word and for Fun with ATCs.

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.

Artekarten - Photo Inspiration

Here is my entry for Art Cards Challenge. The background is a copy of a watercolor (work in progress).

Rainbow Lady - falling leaves

It is almost time for the leaves to start falling here on the east coast of the US. We have new grass planted. We don't want the leaves to fall for a few more weeks so the grass can be well established before we have to rake leaves.

The theme for Rainbow Lady's Challenge is Falling Leaves. I used these leaves a few days ago on my other blog. I didn't like that card so I cut the leaves off to use for this card.

Ticket to Ride - TIO

This is my entry to Tag it On, where the theme to the challenge is Ticket to Ride. The ticket is googled. The trolley is from Dover. My music background stamp has nothing at all written on it so I don't know who made it. Does anyone know? The border punch is by Fiskars.

The Three Muses - Home Sweet Home

My entry to Home Sweet Home.

Background: one of my oil paintings of the house I was born in.

Images and frame: Dover

So Artful

Here is my entry for So Artful. The beautiful background was provided for us to use. I added Dezinaworld images (crow, flowers, girl, music) and a corner that Junibears allows me to use.

The Whole of the Moon

Here is my tag for Tag it On (The Whole of the Moon) challenge. The background has lots of dark moonshadow mists on it. The moon is cut with a circle punch from gold color card stock. The bird is a stamp. The trees were stamped in moonshadow midnight copper embossing powder. Around the edges I used Ranger copper embossing powder that Laura gave me. The hanger for the tag is copper wire.

Torso ATC - Art Cards

Using the torso template provided by Kati of the Art Cards challenge, I cut out a piece of decorative paper showing a vintage bride. I stamped the flower onto the card. Then I colored the sepia image with watercolor pencils.

The 3 Muses - Jars and Bottles

I know that this is weird for me, but I wanted to use my Stubby Stampers jars and bottles stamp for the 3 Muses challenge this week. I also wanted to use the shave cream/ink background I had made last week. The tall bottle is from Dover Publications.

TMTA - Leaves

Here is my ATC for Think Monday Think ATCs - Leaves. My background is cardstock stamped with various distress inks using rubber stamps and one hand-cut maple stamp. The maple leaf stamp is one I created out of a foam door hanger. The wooden leaf is a gift from Lindy's Stamp Gang, included with my order.
