Red, white, and blue tags

I made 6 Red, white and blue tags for a swap in my online art group, AAWA. I thought that I'd share them with you on my blog so that you could see them too.  Of course you know, I'm going to have to make some extra of these so that I can scrapbook those great balloon pictures!

Freedom Weekend Aloft in my neighborhood

We have a big hot air ballon festival right here in our town for Memorial day. Most of the time we don't go to the park to see the balloons because they come to us! This year one landed right next to our pasture. Sunday they were back and one came over so close we talked to them but they landed in our neighbors yard across the street. It was a very exciting weekend!

Rose and Jazz watching the balloons Saturday morning while Daisy,  the goat watches from a "safe" place.

 This  balloon landed in our neighbor's yard right next to our pastures.

 Here is the crew of the ReMax balloon and that's my neighbor in her PJs not wanting to miss anything taking pictures.

 The balloon going down.

 Keeping the balloon tight so that they can roll it up.

 Milking the balloon.

 Sunday they were back and landing everywhere but in our yard!

 There goes another one down two houses from ours.

More are landing around the bend from our house.

canvases

Recently I have been doing some canvases. I did one for a Christmas gift for a friend and she loved it. Then I did one for myself and I love it and have it in my dining room to enjoy. Then I did a canvas for a young friend of mine that has a new Paris theme room. She too, seemed to love her canvas. I just love doing these and you just might see more in the future because they are so much fun!

Here is the canvas that was a Christmas present for a friend. The small white writting says, "She loved bling."

Here is the canvas that was done for my young friend with the Paris themed room. After this picture was taken I did add a small butterfly to the righthand corner.

And this is my very own canvas.

Change, Grow Butterfly - TMTA

This is my ATC for Think Monday, Think ATC where theme is suppossed to be butteflies. I found a picture of a girl in a magazine and cut her out and loosely drew around her.  I filled in the details with a pencil. Then I painted her in and added  details with a black pen and butterfly wing from printed paper.  

Here is the original photo that was the inspration for my ATC.

Bird Card

This is a card that I made for my online art group, AAWA where the theme was birds. I also made rectangeles of paper with "Happy Birthday", "Thank you", and "Thinking of you" with the same colors of papers so that the receipent can personalize the card.

postcards

Here are two postcards that I have created. This one is a vintage sewing/fashion postcard for my online art group, AAWA. I show the back and front of this card because I have not put any personal info on the back of this one. The red square on the left of the postcard is a vintage needle package front and the ad for the tape measure is from a 1904 Sears Roebuck catalog. The scissors is a Crafty Secrets Stamp and the tape measure is from printed paper. The "sewing" around the card is also a stamp. The dressform and sewing machine are on printed paper.

This is another postcard that I did for a friend in my local altered book club. Her theme was fairies. She also likes cats so I made her a cat fairy. I did not show the back of her postcard because her personal info is back there. I painted the background and altered the child's photo to add wings to her. 

e is for egg - TMTA

Here is my ATC for this week's theme which is eggs.
