Freebie vintage image

Second image of Martha Vance. Apparently she was not the owner of the old photo album I bought but she must have known the owner quite well. Enjoy this image with my compliments. I'd appreciate acknowledgment as the owner and would love to see how it's used. Have a great Tuesday!!

Free to use vintage image

I bought an old photo album at a local antique/junk shop and it had several photos in it. I'll scan and share them here. This image is free to use in your art in any way you see fit. The note with the image states that her name is Martha Vance and it was taken in 1945. I'd appreciate credit for the image if used and I'd love to see what you do with it.

I cleaned and rearranged in my craft room all day today. It's finally to a point that I can actually work in there. I have way too much stuff. I'm tossing a bunch of stuff in a box that I plan to get rid of in one way or another.

Enjoy the image! God Bless You :-)

A border freebie

I have had so much fun visiting blogs and lifting freebies from sooo many talented people. Here is my first freebie that was personally created by me from start to finish. Just playing around with PSE and finding out just what it will do if you work at it long enough. I've still got a lot to learn about it but the process is certainly fascinating. Enjoy it with my compliments. Click on the image to upload the full size version. It's 2400x2400 pixels and 818 kb in size. I created these borders with ATC's or small canvases in mind; created on an 8x8 image. Please let me see what you create with it; that would really make my day for someone to actually use something I made :-)

Free for use

The image below is a close-up of three vintage products that I found at the junk shop. You are welcome to use this image for use in your artwork if you choose. I'd love to see what someone could create with this. I have some ideas myself but will have to jot down the idea for another time.

I'm working on addresses for Mom & Dad's anniversary party this weekend. I need to get a number for guests for my Aunt Kathleen as she's ordering the cake. Enough of my boring chat; here's the image:



Have a great weekend and God Bless You

Back from the lazy!

Haven't had anything to say so I haven't been saying it :-) Tonight I'm cruising the internet looking for freebie collage sheets to use in scrapbooking, atc's, etc. I've got several links to share here that you may find interesting if you're into any of that stuff. I'll just list them because they're all good and I really don't have a preference for one over the other yet:

1. Ewe-N-Me Printables blog

2. Art Freebies blog

3. Ten Two Studios

4. Altered Stuff Blog

5. Lorri's Blog

All of these have freebies and links to other sites with freebies. I love, love, love vintage images and am really interested in trying some altered art projects.

My first project now though is a themed photo album minus the photos. I want to gift someone with a handmade photo album for them to put their own photos into. I've got to find just the perfect album for that and I've gotta do it quickly.

I am off this weekend and Nelson and I hope to go bass fishing tomorrow afternoon. It's forecast to be around 68 degrees (Fahrenheit) so that should make for a really nice afternoon. I always take the camera with me when we go out like that. I'm always hoping for 'that perfect shot' and I have been lucky enough a few times to come close to it.

There is so much negativity on the news and surrounding us daily at this point in time. I just want to project positivity (is that a word?) and override some of the doom and gloom. I know this country is in serious shape but that is no reason to forget our many blessings and all the good that we tend to take for granted, is it?

I'm so grateful for my faith, my family, my job (really, really grateful for the job right now!) and all my wonderful, faithful friends and co-workers. I can always depend on someone I'm close to to make me laugh or at least smile. I hope I do the same for others.

One thing I'm extremely thankful for is that I still have both my parents living near me. I know that life is short and none of us are here forever; I have always been very close to both my parents and I really enjoy having them so close.

Wow, I had alot on my mind for someone who hasn't had much to say lately. I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!! God Bless You
