face stamp from lost coast designs "up close and personal" stamp set; butterfly from gecko galz "pretty little butterflies" collage sheet; flowers from gecko galz "jardin" collage sheet; background paper is also gecko galz; sentiment from tim holtz; flower and dot from my stash.

i'm always interested in using rubber stamps and collage images effectively together and am pleased with how these turned out.

challenges entered:
lost coast portal to creativity "on wings she flies;"
gecko galz customer challenge blog "nouveau garden;"
moo mania and more "spring fever;"
and a reminder there is a "faces" challenge at tag tuesday...

introducing an operatic performance

it didn't turn out how i intended but here it is.
all images from songbirdy circumstance and debut (still a free kit!).

love to all.

fabulous faces

it's my turn to choose the next two week tag tuesday challenge and i've chosen the theme of "faces." i own so many faces stamps that i could have made 30 or more tags (embarrassing but true)! in fact i did make several but will just share 3 today -- come back next week for the second installment!

stamp by technique junkies; sentiment is from tim holtz ideology; washi tape from pipsticks and the rest are items from my stash.

face stamp by rubber stampede; sentiment stamp by 100 proof press; the rest are items from my stash of supplies.

just so you know that all the faces do not have to be human! this lovely cat face is from lost coast designs and the sentiment is from leavenworth jackson stamps. background paper is gecko galz and the rest are stash items.

i hope you will have fun with this theme, there are so many ways to play with faces!

love to all.

for three muses challenge: easter bonnet

images from itKuPiLLi, holliewood studios, miles beyond the moon (all mischief circus) and dezinaworld (the eggs, retired).

a fashionista's gotta shop

for take a word: haute couture --

because if you want to indulge in high fashion you have to go shopping! (and please look good while you are doing it!) images from dezinaworld (retired), and tumblefish studios (retired), itKuPiLLi (butterflies).
love to all.

steampunk saturday

2 steampunk goodies today, one for the "industrial" challenge at tag tuesday and one for the anything goes twinchie challenge at the gecko galz facebook page...

background paper is from the gecko galz steampunk paper pack, on which i stamped a compass by leavenworth jackson. the balloon is from the gecko galz up up and away collage sheet. the lady, wings and sentiment are from various tim holtz ideology packs, the rest are items from my stash.

everything is from either the gecko galz steampunk paper pack or from the curiosity shop digital pack. the sentiment is tim holtz ideology.

love to all.
