Take a Word - Leisure

 
 
"Books are a uniquely portable magic" (Stephen King)
 

Reading has to be near the top of the list when we talk about taking leisure time to relax.  I found this lovely image in an old folder.  I think it came from Maya at Scrapbookgraphics.  The background and collage pieces are from Lorie Davison SBG and Createwings Designs.

The Three Muses Challenge - Shoes


Some of you may recognize my great-uncle Paul (by marriage) who emerges from a family album once in a while.  His claim to fame was that he knew how to accessorize!
Image (altered) IS or WAS a member of my family, the background is by Itkupilli and the shoes and socks were Googled.
Thanks to Bev for a great challenge.

Three Muses Challenge - Turquoise and Lime Green

Yes, Taluula (Ann) made us do it.  I would never have thought of combining turquoise with lime green but it looks OK.  The image is from e-vint.com.  I have dressed her in the appropriate colours and placed her on an old dictionary page that I have scanned and coloured,.

Take a Word Challenge - BIRDS


Yes, kookaburras do laugh, chuckle, giggle and snigger and they do it very loudly especially where I live.  They are large birds of prey, swooping on small animals, rodents and large insects. The kookaburra and eucalyptus leaves were Googled.  Other bits and pieces are from Rosey Posey at Scrapbookgraphics.

Three Muses Challenge - Transportation

The background here is by Itkupilli, Deviant Scrap.  The photo in the foreground is my father, aged four,  He lived another 98 years, passing away in 1996 at the age of 102.  I used some digital software magic to transform a very faded sepia photo to give him a new look.
