Theme Thursday - Labels

This week over at Theme Thursday the challenge is to incorporate a label into what you create.  I came up with the ATC you see above.  

I love the expressions on the people's faces!  She looks like she is in need of a throat tablet, that's for sure!

Thanks for checking it out.

Theme Thursday - Game Pieces

This week over at Theme Thursday the challenge is to use game pieces of some kind in your creation.

I put together the ATC you see above.  I love the expression on the little boy's face!  

I used a card from a game (I don't know which one - but it is also in french!) as the back ground.  Added in the boy and some tidily winks, a couple of chip board arrows, a sticker of a vintage toy sheriffs badge, and a rub on border.

This is the first time I met a themed challenge without using any patterned paper!  

Thanks for checking it out.

Theme Thursday - Borders

"He Was Dreaming of His Future..."

This week at Theme Thursday the challenge is to use a border of some kind in your creation.

To meet this challenge I put together the ATC you see above.  I actually used 2 borders:  the lacy sticker you see on the bottom layer, and the metallic green on the top layer.  The handsome gentleman is an "instant relative."

Additionally I used a Heidi Swap ghost clock, some vintage stamps and Basic Gray for the back ground.  

Thanks for checking it out!

Theme Thursday - 2 X 4

12 x 12 is my size of choice.  So a 2 x 4 size restriction is quite a challenge for me.  I have to walk that line between enough and too much.  

Above is my submission for Theme Thursday.  Normally I am not a fairy kind of girl, but these two little ladies seemed to need some wings... perhaps it is all the Valentine's art going on right now!  It is a bit difficult to see, but the coin above the girls says "Cherish." 

Another fine art challenge!  Now I'm off to do laundry, take the dogs to the park, scrapbook my second nephew's pictures, make dinner, clean house.... 

Ahhhh the glamourous life I lead! 

Theme Thursday - Couples

This handsome couple are my Grandparents.  This picture was taken shortly after they were married, during WWII.  They were married for almost 55 years before he passed away.  Though the journalling may appear to be a silly lover's promise, it is a lot more poignant to them:  My Grandfathers name was John Dollar. My grandparents were very much in love, and he is greatly missed by my grandmother.  Theirs was a love of a lifetime.

Theme Thursday - Vintage Valentine

The words are bit hard to read.  They say "If I was a lady, you would be my Valentine."

Image of Mae Lilly from Flickr group Collage Images, paper and embellishments from Jenni Bowlin Studio's January Kit.  Added a Hambly rub on and some letter stickers I had laying around.  

Done for Theme Thursday.
