WELCOME BABY AVA

In November I will become a Great Grandmother for the first time. I am so excited about this little baby.
She will be named Ava June. Today I made this collage to put on a card that is going in a box along with numerous items that baby Ava will need. The image of a baby on the right of the card is actually a photo of Ava's Mommy when she was 6 months old.

Here is the card.

Next month is her Mommy's birthday. You remember my granddaughter Melissa? The one that came to visit me here in Coos Bay? Well she loves mermaids and anything that has to do with the ocean.

I made this collage which hangs at the moment in my space at the mini mall but I made it with her in mind so I made a birthday card for her using a print of the collage. The collage background is fabric and the image is paper embellished with glitter and the pearls on her hair are real cultured pearls.
It measures 12 x 14 in it's wooden frame which is also embellished with aqua pearls on the corners.

Here is the card embellished with ric a rac.

THIS WEEKS DIGITAL WHISPER CHALLENGE

Here is the photo we were given to make a "Skinny" with.

This is called a "Skinny".
Skinny because it is 4 x 8 inches

THIS WEEKS DIGITAL WHISPER CHALLENGE

The Digital Whisper Challenge for this week was the picture of a lighthouse.This is what I did with it.

I used a photo of a huge wave that was sent to me in email awhile back for the background.
Layered the lighthouse onto it and added the mermaid artist unknown. I embellised it with Anika Von Holdt brushes in blues and greens and used the lens flare filter to make the light in the lighthouse shine.
This piece actually has 4 layers.

STEAMPUNK ?

Yeah Steampunk is the craze right now so thought I would take a shot.
How many of you have created a steampunk piece?

911 WE WILL REMEMBER

This is a challenge I did on Digital Whisper last year. It says it all.
We will remember. Let us pray for America and all the families that lost loved ones to terrorists on this very said day
