retro christmas

the gecko galz customer challenge this month is retro christmas -- such a fun theme! the only requirement is to use at least one gecko galz image and every day on the blog there is another free image you can download and use. there are multiple challenge winners at the end of the month with the prize being shopping sprees at the gecko galz store so play along! here's what i have made so far: 

all the images except the floor design and the tree star are from gecko galz. the floor pattern is an old digital image from holliewood studios/mischief circus, star is also from mischief circus.

love to all!

freaky clowns

the latest dark imagination theme at kym's my soul's dark imagination is freaky circus clowns. kym shared a bunch of clown freebies for us to play with and i chose two from her batch for my creations. 

in addition to kym's clown images i used retired mischief circus kits from holliewood studios and miles beyond the moon.

enjoy, and love to all.

a girl and her dog

through a mirror lightly

happy new year friends! we made it. my wishes to you for goodness throughout the year!

the latest my soul's dark imagination theme is through a mirror darkly. while there is a sense of the abstract here, a bit,  try as i might i kept creating light-heartedly. so here we go, with apologies to Kym (sort of a sorry, not sorry tho...). 

"her life, then and now"

her reflection remembers the her of long ago, always beautiful, always with a bird companion, always a friend to all.

"all personality, all day every day"

her reflection knows her soul -- dubious, but full of light and heart. always a quick comeback, and always a word of care.

and i loved playing! images primarily from retired mischief circus although the lady, mirror image, and bird on the 1st are from arthouse whimsy.

love to all.

winter holidays

i'm hosting the next two week challenge at tag tuesday and i've chosen "winter holidays." my research has revealed SEVERAL winter holidays to choose from! i found: christmas, hanukkah, kwanzaa, solstice, los posadas, diwali, boxing day, three kings/epiphany, eid-ul-adha, and new year! this should give you plenty of inspiration for making your tags. which holidays will you choose? 

for my inspiration samples i'm starting with 2 digital tags for winter solstice (december 21), then collaged tags for hanukkah which begins on december 25 this year, christmas which is also december 25, and 2 tags for kwanzaa which begins on december 26 and runs through the 31st. if i get another burst of energy i might do some more winter holiday tags!

 

whatever holidays you choose, we look forward to seeing what you create!

i'm also linking my santa tag to the latest gecko galz challenge: yuletide dreams. the santa and background are both from gecko galz.

love to all.

a man alone with his money

for our midweek muse: scrooge. 

this is the idea of scrooge, not the real one. so excuse the american money rather than old British money. but you get the idea. look at his face and see that being alone with your money and your possessions does not make a person happy.

love to all and no bah humbug...

tarot inspired

for sunday postcard art: tarot

i'm not very familiar with tarot, but once i was in a mystical/spiritual type store and there was a deck that was not a traditional tarot deck. the cards were beautiful illustrations and the invitation was to look at each card and listen to what its message might be for you. there were no words or traditional tarot prompts. so in the spirit of that deck, i offer these 5 cards, in hopes you will find an interesting message in each. 

images from a variety of sources current and vintage, from arthouse whimsy, designs by MANDN, itKuPiLLi, holliewood studios, and more.
