Beauty

Theme Thursday is Beauty. I went a little unconventional, I think. With Memorial Day coming up, my mind is on the men and women who have served our country. So to all our Veterans, Thank You! You are my definition of beauty.

The Star Spangled Banner sheet music I picked up some time ago on a public domain site. The Uncle Sam and Statue of Liberty images are from Suzee Que. The Arlington and Iwo jima images are my own photos from a trip to DC.

A bird in the hand...

...is worth 2 in the (rose) bush. The theme at Theme Thursday is hands. Here is my interpretation:

The beautiful dove card and the bird (in the hand) are images from The Graphics Fairy and the hand is from my own postcard collection.

A quote from Rabindranath Tagore

It is time for Theme Thursday. Today's theme: butterflies or butterfly wings. I went online searching for inspiration and came across a quote by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941). Never heard of him? Me neither. So more online searching, and I found out he was a Bengali poet, playwright, novelist, and musician. He was the first non-European to win a Nobel Prize for Literature. His words "The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough" were so perfect for today's challenge.

Tribute to Mom

Mother's Day is nearing. For theme Thursday I decided to do a tribute to my mom.

Mom, you have always been there for me. You are so much a part of me. My heart, the air I breathe. Home for me is where ever you are.

To the wind beneath my wings:

The flower border was created with two flower images from Vintage Catnip. The book background and the lovely mother/daughter are from The Graphics Fairy.

The Light

Here is another collage. The little girl is cut from an image I found at Marie's Freebies. I have mentioned her before. She has beautiful vintage images. I created the train station background using a postcard from my great-grandmother's postcard collection. I am linking this collage to Theme Thursday.
