Shine like the whole universe is yours!
This is my favorite Tim Holtz chat sticker! I have used this message before for a dear friend's Birthday card. It is a lovely message and it rings true for me.
I am finding a lot more time for creativity in retirement. I will soon be posting a long term Journaling project...
In the mean time - Happy Birthday to my niece!

We Moved!
What better way to announce your change of address then a ghostly image on an old photograph?
This idea came from a Creativebug class on making your own postcards and mail art. One of the examples was an artist who stamped images onto old photographs. I loved this idea!
We are haunting a new home now! This is the first thing I created in the new craft room which is still a mess. Getting organized is a challenge!

She Dreamed Beautiful Dreams
On one of my many trips to Goodwill I found this sweet picture of two ballerinas. I decided to focus on only one and painted over everything but her. I then collaged on some papers for the background and added flowers.
This takes me back to those early days when I took ballet. I must have been 8 years old and was bored by the whole thing. I have always been a bit clumsy, too. I really wanted riding lessons!

Happy Birthday My Friend
Lisa is the smartest and funniest woman I know and she always has my back as I have hers.
Made this card for Lisa's 60th (my 60th was just 4 months ago). Used some Tim Holtz tissue paper collaged with Tim Holtz 'Abandoned' paper, and, an old tiny Chinese fan that I cut up is behind their heads. I also used the cord from the tiny fan to bind the girls together. A star from a ticket stub at their feet and a chat sticker.
Shine on my friend!
