BRAG MONDAY AT THE GRAPHICS FAIRY

I have been visiting the Graphics Fairy for years (and years). I just can't wait to see what pretties and facinating images she has found.  Finally I am going to join in on her Brag Monday where all of us that have collected and used her images show off our crafting use of same images.
This one I already had in my collection when Soarful Challenges used it a couple of weeks ago as the inspiration image.  Here is the original and my take on it.

Thought I would add a little humor to it.  I think it came out ok since I was running out of color ink in the printer. 

 Anyway, thanks to Karen for all her hard work to give us this huge library of images for us to play with and give our imaginations freedom.

Here is a link to Graphics Fairy: http://www.graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/ and a link to Soarful challenge in case you would like to join the fun and challenge your imagination: http://jeanette-soartfulchallenges.blogspot.com/

PS she is using another Graphics Fairy image this week ~ a pretty honey bee.

SOARFUL CHALLENGE AND BACK AMONGST THE LIVING

I know I am just under the wire on this challenge.  I have had the images printed and blocked out in my mind since Monday.  BBBBBut...... I have been under the weather with a darn virus (I guess, but when you don't have health insurance you don't run to the doctor).  I feel better today than yesterday, so maybe I am over the worst. 
I found a new blog challenge called Soarful Challenge.  http://jeanette-soartfulchallenges.blogspot.com/2011/07/early-architecture.html
Now for the challenge:  here is the image we had to work with.

The image originally came from Karen at the Graphics Fairy.  If you have never prowled thru her blog I have a button on the right side near the bottom. I added an image from the BBC~UK~DRWHO called weeping angel. I think she is just covering her eyes.  The background image is from Gail Schmidt at Shabby Cottage Studios (her old blog) which has some great images for free.  She has moved to a new blog and site, so you should NOT wait to check out her old one because it could go away any time. Here is a link to her old site ~   http://shabbycottagestudio.blogspot.com/     There are some great freebies there and her collage sheets are well worth buying. Anyway, here is my entry to the challenge.  I call it "Come out, come out! where ever you are".

I have to admit all those arches and such look like great hiding places.  This is my first time with Soarful challenge and I will be back.  This was fun, I just wish I had felt better.
God Bless all of you.
