Wordless Wednesday

I haven't done this for awhile.

The grandson...

arrived the day I made this LO.
He also arrived the day his parents were scheduled for their photography pregnancy shoot.
He arrived the day BEFORE they were to take their "Baby Class"
And apparently now it's too late for the newborn photos.
Is this a sign of things to come???
lol
Having said all that...

He was born into a football family.
Have a funny day.

Reflections

This week, the theme at
is
REFLECTIONS
I have reflected a lot on the sentiment in this piece, 
and it really started with a photo I took of a green chair 
outside the theater at the University a couple of weeks ago.
I wondered who sat there..why...and for how long?
And did that person know s/he is beautiful?

Elements used are by Anna Aspnes Designs, Kim Klassen and Altered Emporium
The lovely model is by

I hope you know you are beautiful.
 

Blackbird

For this week's
the word is
RAVEN.

Not in my world.

Soartful Wedding!

The new challenge at
is 
WEDDING/ANNIVERSARY-RED, BURGUNDY AND GREEN
Such a fun theme this is, who doesn't love weddings?

I cut this image out of a library book I found in the garbage, placed it on a canvas I painted and gessoed and textured, along with some chenille I had left over from a Fascinator I made, the flower in her hat is tulle I melted with my heat gun, some stickles on her dress for shine, old lace and a strip of cardstock, all finished off with a button.

Is that not the longest sentence you have ever read?  lol

The frame is digital, by Priss Designs.

I hope you go visit
to see what the other member of the Dsign Team have created for inspiration and of course, play along!

Have fun with it!
