<br />
There is nothing as wonderful as the imagination of children. They truly believe their dreams and unlike adults, they don't put roadblocks in front of themselves. Of course this can have some disastrous results at times, as in my daughter who believed she could fly if she could only get up high enough. Upon launching herself from atop a bureau this little bird ended up with a broken wing (arm)! Not quite how it happened in her dream. The wonderful thing about children is their resilience, they dust themselves off and enjoy the new experience of getting a cast on and off they go to experiment some more.<br />
<br />
Our dreams can take us to incredible places. <i>Imagine You Can</i>...Cheers!Rhondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14133995479157405437noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603471930926188814.post-9664464525138018102011-11-14T09:43:00.000-08:002011-11-14T09:43:18.131-08:00Inspiration Avenue Challenge<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCvyeeB8eWwZhgy8Jr6uFefznQ5KmwS_dxYgW9OZBeOilg6pYhyphenhyphenQZLZQVAE-QLxMfcm51BtNxlyGFkYa8tnn6aJQp7VsbqDOWb0HjwhJznYu23eG7V783GL3CKsoEUCCJP7047zCrInx8/s1600/2011_1112+Bird+Diva+009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCvyeeB8eWwZhgy8Jr6uFefznQ5KmwS_dxYgW9OZBeOilg6pYhyphenhyphenQZLZQVAE-QLxMfcm51BtNxlyGFkYa8tnn6aJQp7VsbqDOWb0HjwhJznYu23eG7V783GL3CKsoEUCCJP7047zCrInx8/s320/2011_1112+Bird+Diva+009.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>The Inspiration Monday challenge at<a href="http://inspiration-avenue-team.blogspot.com/2011/11/weekly-challenge-harlequin.html"> Inspiration Avenue </a>is 'Harlequin.'

<br />
I love this witch image, she is one of my favourites although I don't own the stamp, it belongs to my friend, Donna and I have no idea which stamp company it is from. I made the background of the tag with distress inks and some Tim Holtz stamps. The picket fence is one of his dies and the ticket and bat are as well. The crow is a Quietfire stamp. <br />

This was a new technique I was practicing using a grid die, Be Creative tape (double-sided) and embossing powder. It is a two stage process where you uncover the grid and emboss it with gold EP; then you uncover the squares and emboss them in clear EP. I got a bit of the gold powder onto my lower squares but I didn't mind the effect.

<br />
Ms Estelle is certainly trying to do just that, why I think she is wearing quite a fashionable 'Fascinater!' I think it looks much better than the ones I saw on a couple of princesses a few months ago...<br />
<br />
Most of the tag was some Tim Holtz product - my kitchen looked like I had dragged everything with his name on it out of the stash room!<br />

Sometimes I just don't connect to the challenges and some of my favourite ones have closed, but today I am definitely connecting.<br />
<br />
The challenge from <a href="http://takeaword.blogspot.com/2011/09/take-word-45-butterflies.html"><b>Take A Word</b></a> this week is <i><b>Butterflies! </b></i>Don't we all love the gentle butterfly? This ATC uses a winged woman from ArtChix and some random things from that stash; don't you love the Canadian postage stamp of the dragonfly?. The background was tissue paper and watercolour crayon glued onto some TH paper.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day, I hope you see a butterfly!

<br />
I was playing with Lumiere paints on newspaper and then used black soot distress ink to stamp the great fishprint image from Scrollswork and a couple of SU stamps. I glued it onto a piece of music background, added some faux stitching and highlighted with the white pen.<br />

Don't you long for those lazy days of summer when you can just sit and contemplate, imagine and dream; for the sweet scent of flowers and the thoughts of love? OK, I'm being a bit too sappy....oh, well, I can imagine that I would have time for this! Hope you have some lazy days this summer - cheers!Rhondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14133995479157405437noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603471930926188814.post-62757968140570654452011-06-21T07:22:00.000-07:002011-06-21T07:22:41.254-07:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DONNA!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWB8PVtdPltmXHYM3BqYrqOerZeLo_5DfozF92M6W5MxyjGEbbytfI-sgFNSvPXAakYzC1rvD6Agc5N7sdHr-8rpfNgxVgD8gfqaArH91ye0P7X2jy2XIaNL_cSRWs-3muv7Suug_ywfc/s1600/-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWB8PVtdPltmXHYM3BqYrqOerZeLo_5DfozF92M6W5MxyjGEbbytfI-sgFNSvPXAakYzC1rvD6Agc5N7sdHr-8rpfNgxVgD8gfqaArH91ye0P7X2jy2XIaNL_cSRWs-3muv7Suug_ywfc/s320/-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: small;">Today is my very good friend's birthday! Sadly, we have a postal strike in Canada and we are unable to send birthday greetings by mail, so Donna suggested that I post her card so she could at least get to see it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Donna is my most creative friend and she has a wonderful blog: <a href="http://papercrowsanddragonflies.blogspot.com/">paper crows and dragonflies</a>. A wonderful friend that I share so much with. We live a couple of hours and a ferry ride away from each other and don't get together to play and create often enough.</span><br />
Happy Birthday, Donna!! This card is waiting for you and my wishes are for a wonderful birthday full of all things that make you happy. Love you lots - RhondaRhondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14133995479157405437noreply@blogger.com4
