If you Believe......

Hello friends! This month with SBS Steampunk challenge blog we are featuring a BRAND NEW line of Stamps/Digis. Steampunk Series 6 is a collection of a group of very eclectic images. For my preview image I chose "BELIEVE" . I fell in love with this image the day they were offered to the DT.
    Who didn't pretend to be a princess while  growing up, and believed  hard enough if they kissed a frog ,it would turn into a handsome prince? A lot of us grew up on Fairy tales being read to us and our imagination ran wild.Now as an Adult we have TV shows like " ONCE UPON A TIME" AND "GRIMM"and  the pleasure of coloring Digis in the genre, as well as . And once again our imagination can run wild.

GET WELL SOON

YES This was intended as a get well card, I know it's creepy and all ,but hey when you have a friend suffering from the flu ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, You have to have a sense of humor.
It could also be an OVER THE HILL CARD. What did I say about a sense of humor?
This is my last post for this series (5) and it is titled THE MASQUE OF RED DEATH

LENORE AND RODERICK

       
"And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore?"This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!" – (lines 28-29)  THE RAVEN
 

I had another go at a STEAMPUNK IMAGE  from Betty's steampunk series 5. This is THE GRAVE OF LENORE. I was always intimidated by these images ,but as a good friend put it "that is why they are called C H A L L E N G E S" So challenge yourelf and enter our challenge at http://simplysteampunkchallenges.blogspot.com/.  C'mon and give it a whirl.
The second image is Roderick from FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER. I turned this digi into a piece of art to hank on the wall, not everything I do goes out as a card. I like to keepa few things for myself.
ENJOY

 

 

 

NEVERMORE

I'M BAAAAACK

First and formost to explain whay I have been away so long, My computer took a nose dive, yep the hard drive deterierated to where I couldnt even get into the computer. so I took the lap top to the lap top doctor and was informed I needed a NEW hard drive and it was very possible that I lost evetyring on it.  NOOOOOOO , what about my DIGIS, what about my PHOTOS what about my DOCUMENTS , oh, who am I kidding, What about my DIGIS , that actually is what I was concerned about. But good news for me , they were able to save everything. Then  the hard part came ,loading all the software back on, but ,,,,,,,,,,hmmmm,,, where did I put all those discs ? I know I put them in a safe place ,LOL. After a day of searching I finally found them ,filed away where they should be , go figure. so as the title says I' back.

Enjoy the next post, we have a new challenge over at DUTCH DARE CARD CHALLENGES.

And with Valentine's Day approaching ,I thought he was PERFECT !
