Monthly ATC Invite- July Garden Calendar

Here we are again - ANOTHER month just flown right by....I just got my ATC for Penny's monthly challenge done in time...

I found this great ad in a 1948 women's magazine - love her hat. Unfortunately both the wallpaper in the background and the ad itself were on pretty brittle paper so had a couple of accidents. Still I like how it turned out. Enjoy. Jewels. 

January MG Challenge

My first completed challenge for 2012! Mary Green provides us with some wonderful images every month to test our creativity.

I call this ATC Contemplation. The young lady, advertisement and flowers are from Mary - the background is an overlay of a napkin I had that the colours matched over old written text. I've done this technique before so I'm thinking next month I will have to mix things up a bit...part of my resolution to myself this year to try new things ;).

There is still time to join if you are interested. Enjoy. Jewels

Tag Tuesday

Fiddlesnips Jo told me about a new challenge going on sponsored by Carolyn called Tag Tuesday. Check it out!

Looking to be back State side on Friday. Today is my parents 55th Wedding Anniversary (which means I am at least you know what this year LOL). Spending time with them both to celebrate.... Cheers Jewels
