as my mother used to say...

my mother used to say, "into each life a little rain must fall..." (offered ironically whenever i had a complaint about some little misfortune of childhood...)

for three muses "april showers" and try it on tuesday "add a quote:"

images from tumble fish studio and rain from open clip art.
enjoy the rain!  misfortunes may just wash away...
love to all.

in one of the stars i shall be laughing

for the cheeky challenge this week the theme is "quotes."  i chose my quote from "the little prince."

all images from itKuPiLLi.
love to all.

music hath charms...

which is the savage beast here though?  the theme at three muses challenge this week is "music."  here is my interpretation:

my music in this piece is the background music floral sheet by dezinaworld, the rest of the images are by dezinaworld as well.

love to all.

quotes and sayings

we're challenged to use quotes or sayings in our tags at tag tuesday this week.  here's mine:

the sentiment is a stamp from silver crow creations.  the moon is from the harvest moon collage sheet by lunagirl and the dancing girl is from the bring on the dancing girls collage sheet also by lunagirl.  she is definitely flexible! the ribbon, prima flower, die cut border and background papers are from my stash.

i'm also linking to the three muses "quote" challenge and to the 
 inspiration destination "anything goes" challenge.

enjoy!  love to all.

many angel wings

if you can't get enough of angels and wings then the current challenge at the cheerful stamp pad is definitely for you.  our theme is angel wings and our challenge sponsor is michelle perkett studios, a digital stamp image company.  the randomly selected winner will get some nice digis.

for my DT sample i used another tutorial from the technique junkies newsletter -- called "depth of field."  my angel stamp is from judikins. the cardstock was spritzed with watercolor inks, then torn, distressed and added to a brown cardstock base.  i added a quote which i printed from my computer and distressed; it is a quote i love.  i added a dragonfly sticker and some other flourishes.

i hope you enjoy and might think to join this challenge. to participate you just need to have some wings showing.

love to all.
