Butterfly dreams...

Sharing a postcard today...

I created this card for a challenge at Three Muses, the theme was In Your Dreams.
Not a lot of extra time this week, working on getting ready for Mistletoe Market.
Hope you had sweet dreams last night.
Have a pleasant day.
Be back soon.

Sharing another postcard...

Said the butterfly

Love this quote. I use a lot of butterflies in my art, there's something so magical about them.

Hope you are having a wonderful day.

Be back soon.

Saluting Our Veterans

Veteran's Day, a day of thanksgiving and prayer as we honor those that have served.
Today has an extra special meaning for me as all 4 of my brothers, my father, stepfather and father-in-law and both grandfather's have served. Three of my brothers are still active and one is being deployed on January 10, 2o10 for his second time to Iraq. This will be the fourth deployment of one of my brothers in the last 4 years. I understand the sacrifices that are made and I am so very proud of the men in my family.
I made a card to commemorate the day...

Saluting Our Veterans
The little sailor image is from challenge 48 at Art Creations Friday. My card also fits into the current theme of Remembrance at Created By Hand.
To all veterans, I thank you for your service and I salute you.
Have a great day.
Be back soon.

Sweet face...

Beauty awakens the soul
I created this for the current challenge at Theme Thursday, using one of my favorite vintage images. I just love the sweet face of this little girl, she reminds me of all the little girls in my life.
Had a day off from keeping the little ones yesterday and spent it catching up on things around the house and then spent the afternoon running errands.
My last show for the year is coming up in less than 2 weeks so I'm busy getting ready for that.
I never run out of things to do...
Hope your day is filled with fun.
Be back soon.

Faith and Trust...

I created this postcard for the current challenge at Created By Hand.
As you can tell by my consistent posts, I've been busy. Just finished up an album for a client and am on to another one. I've also been working on a few other projects including several challenges and look forward to sharing this week.
Hope your week is filled with creativity.
Be back soon.

Change...

How do you feel about change? Some go with the flow, others tend to fight it. I learned a long time ago that change is good and this quote pretty much puts it all in prespective...

If nothing in the world ever changed, there wouldn't be butterflies. -Unknown

I created this postcard for the current theme at the Crazy Amigo Challenge Blog. I found the spangle butterflies at Walmart, a 16 gram bag (about 200 pieces) for less than $2, an assortment of pinks, greens, blues and purples.
Hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend.
Be back soon.

Black & White...

is the current challenge theme at Saturday Surprise. I enjoy working with black and white photos and papers. Here is the postcard I made...

Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend
The image is from a beautiful etching I found online. I think she looks very elegant.
You may have noticed that my numbers have started going up again under Completed in 2009. It's a wonderful feeling to finish up several layouts that I started a while back and set to the side, I finished a total of 7 this past weekend.
Hope you have a great day.
Be back soon.

Not ready for this...

Although I love snow, Winter is my least favorite time of year. The older I get, the less I look forward to this time of year and it's right around the corner. Brrrr...
It's the current theme at Theme Thursday and here is the postcard I made...

Winter Wonderland
We don't get much of the white stuff where I live, may be another reason I dislike Winter.
Hope you have a wonderful day.
Be back soon.
