I wanted to share with you a 

Paper Whimsy Gothic Arch Swap 

that I have been Participating in.

There was 3 Different Swaps

you could Participate in

and I Chose to do Garden and Poetry Arches.

I Love this Sweet Girl 

that I used in My Garden Arch!

 

I will Receive Nine Garden Arches 

and Six Poetry Arches! 

Below is My Poetry Arch!

I just Love Gales Idea of using a Poem 

as the them for the Project .

I am Thinking I might have to make 

a Book of a Favorite Poem....Hmmm!

 ~*~

Hope is the Thing with Feathers

That Perches in the Soul 

And Sings the Tune without the Words

And Never Stops    at All  

And Sweetest    in the Gale    is Heard  
And Sore must be the Storm  
That could Abash the Little Bird
That kept so Many Warm  

I've Heard it in the Chillest Land  
And on the Strangest Sea  
Yet, Never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb    of Me. 

~Emily Dickinson~

Hope you are Having a Wonderful Weekend!

Our Fall Colors are so Beautiful Right Now!

Just Love the Fall!

~Les Petites Fleurs~
I am sure you all recognize the Beautiful Artistry 
of William Bouguereau . There is a Serenity to his Most Wonderful Works. This painting was painted in 1871 and is actually of a Brother and Sister.
~Frère et sœur Bretons~   
and the Translation is Breton Brother and Sister.
 This little Brother has such a Sweet Face I assumed he was a Little Girl. My friend Wendy at Bliss Angel is How I found Art Creation Friday. The Bouguereau painting is the Image we are suppose to Create with. How could I not Find Inspiration working  with such a Beautiful Painting! They have a Challenge Every Friday with a new Image to work with! I think it is a Good Recipe for Fun!

Hello Everyone! I Hope Everyone had a Great Weekend! Well its another Wonderful Brag Monday!! Can't Wait to see what everyone has Created!

I have been working on Layer and Creating Background Images. The Background here starts with a Beautiful Handwriting Sample from Catherine Mud Bay Images. Next I added the Gothic Window Image from The Graphics Fairy. I Just Love this  Window Image! There is so Many Possibilities! Next I added a Grungy Rust Mask to add Color and Texture.The Lovely Butterflies came from

Blanca of Magic Moonlight Studios. 

The Beautiful Young Couple is another one of my Favorite Paintings by Lord Fredrick Leighton. The Romantic in me is reminded of when my Husband and I were Young and first Married. So Many Blessings our way on our Journey. 

We are so Grateful!

Have a Wonderful Monday Everyone!
