Choice

This is a digital collage using all the elements provided by Nancy Baumiller for the Crowabout Challenge.

A collage about the choices in life; good or evil, safety or adventure.

The heavenly one believed that she should be good & play it safe in life.

Her alter ego yearned for fun & adventure, risk & excitement,

trying new things & exploring new places,

being brave & baring her soul.

All the images from week 28 collage sheet are included in some shape or form. There were no additions to this collage.

Animal Magic

This is a digital collage using all the elements provided by Nancy Baumiller for the Crowabout Challenge.

Trudy had always been able to communicate with animals,

who loved her dearly in return.

From her early days playing with ducks at the pond

& then raising her own chickens,

she had much success & found it very rewarding.

However, as she got older & her interest in men developed,

she was surprised to find that her natural talent failed her.

Even her dog, Bess found it hard to understand what men wanted.

And why was it she was always ignored when hailing a cab?

Life, which once seemed simple, was now difficult & confusing.

All the images from week 27 collage sheet are included in some shape or form. Additions to this collage are the words

"She had always had a way with animals, but men were a different matter!"

Tea Dance

This is a digital collage using all the elements provided by Nancy Baumiller for the Crowabout Challenge.

It's two in the afternoon.

Time for tea, just for two.

Time for a dance.

There was nothing they liked more than a whirl around the floor,

then to rest with a refreshing cup of tea.

Orange & Lilac Combo

A birthday card using orange & lilac tones.



The butterfly is from Dover
& the patterned paper is from Funky Fairy.

Both have had their original colours altered.

The base card is cream soft touch card by Inspire me!

I mounted the patterned paper on pale orange textured card then lilac card.



The layered butterfly is secured with a lilac brad
& I have added some small lilac glittery gems.

There's a Flower within my heart

This digital collage is a blend of two challenges. On Artarazzi we were given a photograph to use & for the Soartful Saturday challenge we were given a gorgeous background to use.

There's a flower within my heart

I added the sheet music to the song "Daisy Daisy" & two images created from my own photographs.

Here is my digital art journal page for this collage.

Acting Up

This is a digital collage using all the elements provided by Nancy Baumiller for the Crowabout Challenge.

Honey had received a note from her agent, sent by Air Mail,

saying that she had been successful at her last audition

& secured her first acting job.

She loved to perform so was highly delighted at this news.

To celebrate, Honey & her friend decided to put on a spur of the moment performance

outside the entrance to the Odd Moments Museum,

which she thought was rather apt!
