Where the Sidewalk Ends

 Maggi is hosting a challenge on the  forums this month called Poetry in Motion and part of the  challenge is to create a layout but  the  poem of your choice must  be part of the  layout  ... Now  for us that  do not  journal (BUT SHOULD)  this  was  kind of hard an d out of my comfort zone.  The first project  I was making was trashed then I  decided to  print the poem on the  paper and work around it  .. and  voila  my : "Where the Sidewalk Ends"

Products Used :  digital designed background paper, dusty attic, handmade resin pieces, lots  of  new  flying unicorn flowers that will be in the  store  just  before Thanksgiving ! 


There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
 
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
 
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
Shel Silverstein

Stamp It - Fussy Fun Challenge

Great News!  We have  started a monthly challenge  on the  Forums which will run from the  15th  of each month to the the  14th of  the  following month.  The  one  requirement, and  yes there will be  more is  to   stamp! Whether rubber, acrylic or  digital  stamp its  time  we  get  to using  our  collection of  stamps.

Here  is  my  inspiration  card  to  inspire you :




Paper  is  from  the  Pixie  Glen  Collection by Prima, flowers are hadmade  and   from Flying Unicorn,  stamp image  is a  digital Wee Stamps  designed  by Sylvia Zet.  

For the  handmade spiral  flowers  cut   then  on  heave  patterned paper or  carstock and   run them  through  your  paper crimper a  few  times  to soften  the  paper and  make  them easier to  roll.  The  final step  is  use  your stylus  to  smooth out the  crimps and then roll . 



Right  click and  save the spiral  roses to your computer. Use straight or decorative scissors to attach   different  effects.

Dance with Me till the End of Love

Come  Join the  challenge  fun over at the  forums    This  month  I am  hosting History, the  Greats and Art   which challenges your creativity and   inspires your  muse ! Paper is from The  Scrap Cake -One  Moment  in Time Collection, available  in the store


My inspiration layout was done using Jack Vettriano's painting calledDance Me Till The End of Love

The painting Just about everyone wants to meet someone & fall in love . Ideally that very same person will still be there with you to the very end when you take your last breath & get ready to express your final goodbyes. Although this is a dream for many, it is a reality for the few. This piece by Jack Vettriano is entitled “Dance Me to the End of Love.” 3 colors (black, white, & blue) are used here with a touch of a faint yellow sun in the distance. Her white gown balances out his black suit against the misty blue surrounding. The great thing about this couple is that they are facing towards the direction of the light above…& in my perspective hopeful to dance not until the end, but forever together.

I know Hopeless romantic am I ....
