Quote (again!)

Well, how cool is this?

This week the theme at both 

The Three Muses

and

Tag Tuesday

is

QUOTE

so I get to do two quotes,

in two different mediums.

Sweet

The woman is by Xquisart and the birds, as if

everyone doesn't already know,

are Tim Holtz'.

The background was a fit of Gelli plate madness.

I had fun though!

Thanks for soming by!

Mural Monday

This is partly (the bottom) done by the community children.

For the life of my, I don't know what the jars are full of;

Peaches?  Pickled Eggs?

Do you have any ideas?

I will make a mental note to ask next time I am in that town.

Have a funny day!

Home

The theme this week at

Take A Word is

HOME

I am anticipating most of the artists will

create something lovely, full of heart and hearth

and good feelings.

I however, did a self-portrait of my home.

It IS lovely and full of heart and hearth

(if you include my fireplace)

and good, in fact, great feelings.

but it is kind of full.

:-)

Do you have any idea how long this puppy 

took me to put together?!?!?

Here are the credits:

(deep breath)

Studio Rosey Posey, Rucola Designs, Eena's Creations,

Itkupilli, Durin Eberhart, J. Kneipp, Valentina Creations,

Clementine Design, Tumblefish Studio, Kitty Designs,

and Evelyn Flint.

Whew!
Creative People are seldom neat, you know.

I must go rest now.

But thanks so much for coming by!

hugs,

'lectra

I believe I can Fly!

is the current challenge over at the wonderful

Try It On Tuesday

and so of course,

I had to Try It.

I used a journal page I did using some Gecko Galz digital stamps and images,

and put it on a Tim Holtz canvas.

Added a butterfly on the canvas with some Dreamweaver Embossing paste. 

I don't remember the maker of the butterfly stencil, sorry. 

A little bit of colour with some purple Starburst

glimmer spray by Lindy's StampGang.

Some flowers, butterflies and bling from my stash

finished it off.

Love the inspiration I get at 

Try It On Tuesday

You should check it out.

It's AWESOME!

Thanks for visiting me today.

Wordless Wednesday

Gecko Galz Get Busy!

It's almost July (gasp) and

I am just now showing you my Gecko Galz 

samples for the month of June!

But that's OK, there has been a whole month of gorgeousness

at Gecko Galz

to inspire you!

The theme this month

(as you can see on my sidebar) is

Man O Man.

My first sample fits the theme because the rabbit

trapped in the timepiece is saying 

"Man O Man, Get Me Out Of Here!"

The fit of the second is evident, I believe.

 And for this one, I used a

digital stamp of the hourse, from the Gentlemen's Club Digital Stamp Set.

For this next one, I used paper from the Gyspy Market Collection.

I cropped the woman from the Stay Young and Beautiful Collage Sheet

Then, I erased what I did not want on her.

I added a little wordart by Meaghan;s Creations, and placed the 

whole kit and kaboodle over top of an unknown blue paper

from my stash.

I finished it off with a little brush work, both with paint and with glitter.  

She strikes me as a woman who would like a little glitter.

All of the products I used in these can be found at the

Gecko Galz Etsy Shop

and there is a free gift this month with each purchase!

You know, I'm sure that you get a free digistamp from each

DT member's blog, don't you?

Here is mine-just right click on it and save to your computer.

 Here is what I made with it to get you started.

Digistamps can be printed out and coloured, or

use them digitally with your photo-editing program and

colour them in on the computer as you watch

Downton Abbey reruns on the tellie.

In my sample I did it digitally with a brush.

You still have time to enter the

I hope you do,

Kite

If I haven't been by your blog, please forgive me,

I was miles up north celebrating my daughter's convocation from university.

Woo Hoo!  She's awesome.

Two little kids under 4 years old, husband away working in the coal mine,

She lost her father and sister, 

and she still graduated. 

I couldn't be prouder!

But they have gone home now, and I found time to sit down and make this for

The Bird(s) but no bees.

Challenge #14 at

Anything But Cute

is Birds and Bees.

I made a canvas, but it's just got one bird on it.

I think that is OK.

She is one FANCY bird.

Goodness Me,

it is hard to photograph glitter, isn't it?

Do check out this challenge,

how can you not love

a blog-title of

Anything But Cute?

Well, I guess, if you love cute....
My view on cute excludes my grandchildren, BTW.
They are
DARN CUTE!

EVERYBODY SING!!

La, la, la, la, la, la, la.

That's right!

The Belles have invited us to create

another Christmas, this time with the theme of Snow/man/flake/blower/shoes....

You get it?

I made two, and used a couple of images that I cut off

old Christmas cards.

I like to fussy-cut when I am watching TV.

Anyhoo, enough about me.

TA DA!!!!

Ice Cream

When I saw that the challenge at 

Digital Whisper

was ICE CREAM

I knew what I wanted to do.

Old fashioned digital scrapbook LO of my favourite

photo of my daughter when she was little,

enjoying an ice cream cone.

Is the look on her face not Pure Joy?

The kit was called Exuberance and I'm pretty sure I got it from Scrapgirls way back when I

started digital scrapbooking.

This was fun.  Thanks for the challenge!

And thank YOU for coming by|!

Our House

is a very very fine house.

OUR HOUSE
is the current challenge at Paper Artsy
What magical houses/homes they have on their blog!
I am not kidding.  You HAVE TO check it out.
Seriously.
And another challenge blog that I have recently fallen in love with is:

Their current challenge is a

celebration of their second anniversary!

And we are invited to choose a favorite theme from their posts this year.

Take a look at the magical creations on the

Mixed Media Monthly blog.

CRAZY-GOOD!

Honest.

I chose the theme of 

DIMENSION'

Here is mine:

This just kind of evolved.
I loved the art journal page by

Kate Crane on the Paper Artsy blog
and stamped these houses, intending to use them on a page, but,
well,
you know how that goes.

The houses are a Penny Lane stamp.
I made the "hotel" with a mold and UTEE.
That precious sign was a gift from my friend Sonya Nelson in the U.S.of A.

I surely did have fun though!
OK, you've seen mine,
now wander on over to
Paper Artsy
and
Mixed Media Monthly
  and leave some love.


                                   and thank you ever so much for coming by!
