SPA- Boats

Sunset Sail

I'm so honored to be asked to host this week's Sunday Postcard Art Challenge.
I've chosen the theme of Boats; there is nothing so soothing to me as watching a sailboat skimming the water into a beautiful sunset.

The sailboat and stamp were Googled; the sunset (actually a sunrise) photo is my own; texture pieces are by Shadowhouse Creations and Encounter_Laura at Textures for Layers.

Inspiration Avenue--In the Rainbow Land

Inspiration Avenue's challenge this week is Over the Rainbow.

Rainbows always make me think of Fairies, and Fairies always make me think of wishing to run off to the Fairy lands and live forever. Nice dream...

Credits to Dover and to ScrapbookFlair and to ELizabeth Golden from Last Door Down the Hall for a wonderful collage sheet of images of Maude Fealy.

Three Muses Challenge- Written Word

I found this gorgeous printed paper on Nicecrane's site--and it's a freebie. Part of an old storybook of Aesop's Fables, it shows a bit of "The Fox and the Crow"
The fox was found on Wikimedia Commons, the crackle bit is from Elizabeth Golden, and the crow is from First Floor Flat
