For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends. --Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Oh this has been a busy week for me so I hope you don't mind I combined two challenges today. Theme Thursday ~ Boy and Wednesday Stamper ~ Chair.
This is a coffee stained tag that I played with this morning! I think he looks a little prim.

Mixed Media Monday's theme this week is "Numbers". I created this piece for the challenge. The background is colored in chalk inks. I masked the image first and then colored and stamped. Both the Bingo and Little Girl image who is called "Sally" are from "Inka Stamps".

This week's challenge was chosen by Robin Willis one of the Members of the DT for Altered Pages and she decided to honor Veteran's Day which is this Sunday here in the United States.
All countries in this world have Veterans and we challenge you to create something using the colors red, white and blue. You can use one or all of the colors to create and ATC, an altered book spread, a deco, tag, inchie, card....whatever you desire. The only rules are to follow the theme and you MUST use an image from Altered Pages.
Post your creation to the Altered Pages Gallery and be sure to let us know it is there so we can take a peek!!!

I am happy to have you stop by and visit. I was having problems with my blog and no one could read it. My DD Melissa redesigned it for me and I am so thrilled over the new look! She took some of my favorite pieces of art work and collaged them PERFECTLY!! Added a new font with just the right color and SHAZAM!!!
Thanks Mel you are so talented! I am very proud of it now and love having people coming over for a spell.
If anyone wants to link up let me know and we can do that!
Thanks for stopping by!

I have never done a Tip-In Swap! Well I see why they are fun to do. You don't have to send your AB to everyone in fear that it could get lost in the mail, the dreaded cost of sending them now, or taking the chance of ruining someones book. I still like the feel of the entire book in my hands. It just does something for the soul.
Here is the first one that I did. The theme of course was Asian and this was created for Martha. I found that my supplies in this theme are somewhat limited and worked with what I had. I will have to do another for Martha in a few weeks so I better do some shopping or searching for the next one.

Well who would have thunk? I use Fire Fox for my browser. (My son makes me do that) and now I know why I would get emails from people telling me that they could not read some of my posts (too light).
You see when I view my blog in FF it shows me this dark background. Not the light one that everyone else sees. So I have changed some of my settings and I think it is ok.
Wait what about people that use Fire Fox? UGH!!! What do they see? I don't know for sure so if you use Fire Fox could you please be so kind to let me know.
Hope to get this darn thing resolved!

It’s “Thank Goodness It's Altered Pages Friday!
Each week we will post a challenge to the Altered Pages Yahoo Group. This is not a swap but just a challenge for everyone to play. There are times when we all need that little spark for our muse.
This week’s challenge will be "Paris". You can create an ATC, an AB spread, a deco, a 4x4, a tag or whatever your muse feels like! But please remember that you MUST use an image from Altered Pages collage sheets. You can post your challenge to the Altered Pages Gallery Pages Gallery.
Come on over and have some fun!

Theme Thursday
This is just the thing that you need to spark your muse! This weeks challenge was to use a script stamp of your choice. I made the two of these. This was so much fun and can't wait to see what next weeks challenge is.
