Well, after a very minor earthquake and some minor floods from hurricane Irene, things around Pennsylvania have calmed down. It was quite a week. We rarely see such events in this state, especially the quake. My thoughts are with those less fortunate states and the people who have been hit with real tragedies due to these events.

This is a small collage on plywood pieces I got from Dollar Tree; it was a pack of 12 or 15 for $1. In the background there's stamping, paper and also crepe paper which I also stamped.

  

This tag was made using images sent to me by

Inka from Altered Artifacts for examples to use in her Etsy site.

 

This is also with an image from Inka, the backgroupd Lilas one.  The canvas is a recycled CD.

I love Old Hollywood stars, so this is one of many others I have to put together in a book.

Thanks for visiting and stay safe out there.

Creative Research

Well, I have been wishing to get motivated and to create, but since I haven't, at least, I have been "researching" creative things to wet my appetite that way. I shopped at my favorite antique store last weekend, and found a couple of really adorable cards and photos. Here are a couple of them.

My favorite vintage photos are those of babies and children. How could I not pick up this cutie pie. I will post others soon and also the dance cards I'm working on for swap with NancyD from Altered stArt yahoo group.

Thanks for visiting,
