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.

Swing on a star...

The Three Muses challenge this week is STARS! I was so excited because I have had this idea in my head since I saw this little girl image on Vintage Resources. So here is my entry for the Stars challenge.

And who doesn't love Bing Crosby? This song is a fond memory from my childhood. I hope you enjoy it.

Tag Tuesday

It's time for Tag Tuesday! Tickets are the theme. Here is the tag I created:

I found the ticket background at Shabby Chic Papirskatter. I just discovered her site yesterday. Lots of beautiful images. The rest of the images are from a collage sheet from Itkupilli I bought several weeks ago and never used until now. The quote on the smaller ticket is by St. Augustine. You might have to click on the image to enlarge it so you can read the quote.

When I grow up...

I started working on a collage series I am calling "When I grow up". Here is the first panel.

I am linking this to Brag Monday at The Graphics Fairy. This adorable little boy is cut from one of her images.

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.

Dream of Peace

I haven't posted in some time. I am helping with a home renovation and it is very time consuming. I did manage to finally finish a collage piece I have been working on. My tentative plan is to transfer the image onto an antique ceiling tin I have. We'll see how that works out.

Bird and egg tins

It has been awhile since my last post. It feels good to be back. I just finished a project I started this weekend and thought I would share.

I bought these tins on clearance at a local craft store. They are about 4.5in squares. There were a barn red color, but a spray painted them blue. The images are from The Graphics Fairy and Artefacts. I tied some coffee and spice stained cheesecloth around the top of each tin.
