Blue

Blue is a favorite color for so many.  Not for me.  For me it

is an unhappy color....maybe a

bright blue sky makes me happy with the color blue.

But, I must admit I like how this blue digital creation

turned out for Collage Obsession Challenge - Blue.

Thanks to Aneczka for the Blue Roses

Background, sentiment and glitter spray are from my misc collection.

As for blue skies....it is going to be glorious today.  So nice after

the rains of Beryl came thru Myrtle Beach yesterday.  

Dress Form

I hope everyone enjoyed the first summer holiday.

Memorial Day weekend found us at home.   Many, many

people were out enjoying all that was happening this long 

weekend here in Myrtle Beach.   There were many military celebrations,

Bikefest, our beautiful beaches and always the Memorial Day sales.  

If you needed a new mattress or car this was your shopping weekend, for sure.

Speaking of going to the beach....

this is a LO that I did of Huntington Beach State Park, SC.

This is about 1 mile from my house and is such a beautiful place to go.

The smaller photo was taken thru the dunes at sunrise.

Ribbons and Lace

Ribbons and Lace, a girl can never have too much.

I have rolls, bits, pieces of ribbon and piles of lace.

So what did I do.....make a digital card.

For better or worse here it is....

I started with the cabinet card from Susee Que's.  The 

actual photo used is here.

Next, I went thru my image collection and selected anything that I 

thought would go.   Added, subtracted, re-sized and layered until I was pleased

with the effect.  

Thanks to

Susee Que

Idgie's Heartsong for fabric and lace strips

Background lace and aqua ribbon - unknown.

I did find an old made by hand creation that uses elements

recycled from a vest found at a thrift store.

This vest had gorgeous fabric, lace, pearls, buttons and other

pretty trims.

And, there is still lots left of it to use.

A Bird

A very timely challenge at

Crazy Amigo this week....

Birds

Birds are in abundance around here right now.

I even got to watch a mama Cardinal give her baby flying

lessons.   He was on the ground on my lawn.  Mama hovered,

chirped and prodded him along until he finally got the idea.

I also found this web site featuring beautiful bird jewelry.

More of this gorgeous jewelry, handmade of polymer clay,

can be found here.

Hot Air Balloon

Having lived in Reno, Nv, I've seen some of the activities 

during the Great Reno Balloon Races.

Just a few of the over 100 balloons that participate each year.

One of the favorite balloon events is Dawn Patrol.

Truly, a beautiful site.
