I had such a hard time with this one, as I have a ton of favourite movies, most of them the golden oldies, and especially musicals. This is a tribute to 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, one movie I could watch, [...]

You’re fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!

What Year Do You Belong In?
You’ll have to highlight above the picture. I was born in ‘56.

with all the Halloween art I’m seeing lately, I had to do something too. It’s like an itch you just have to scratch!! I had a lot of fun doing these tags bt I wonder why my creative juices always start running more freely on the last day of my weekend? LOL

I have a [...]

I forgot to mention that the glove in the post below is paper, with a very fine texture to it. After I had used the distress inks on it and it had dried, it now feel a lot like suede. So neat!!
Thank you all for your wonderful comments! I so appreciate them all!!!!

Last year a dear friend of mine whose blog I don’t get to often enough, had a giveaway for these plain white ‘gloves’ to alter. I was lucky enough to win one. When I got it, I had no idea what to do with it so I put it in a safe place til inspiration [...]
