Let's Go Way Out on a Limb

It is very quiet right now and I was trying to figure out what to do digi this afternoon.  I looked back over my blending class and then decided to find a photo and do something with it. We were at the Landing Club House one afternoon and I spotted this huge, perfect spider web.  This area has lots of spiders and spider webs, as I am discovering.

Here is what I ended up with.  Don't judge!  I went a bit crazy. Not sure how I ended up here.  I can actually envision this in a frame.

Drew some yellow lines over the web.

Preserving History

I inherited several old quilts from my Mom.  Right now they are in storage while we build our new house.  Before I packed all my stuff up, I took some photos of all my quilts and antiques bric a brac and such.  Today I wanted to use Pixel Scrapper's kit by Marisa Lerin, called Pretty Things.  So I went looking in my computer stash for one of what I call "my pretties".  I spotted this scan:

And turned it into this layout:

 Here is the kit.  Click on the image to go grab it.  It is free if you are a Contributor to

Pixel Scrapper.  You will find the site full of eye candy!

Altered Portrait

I decided to try out this Altered Art that digiscrappers are creating. If you click on the digiscrap layout, it will take you to the Gallery at Oscraps, host of the altered art challenge.  I love this and think it will be worthy of framing.  I need to do more of this.  It is fascinating.

  I used a photo that was taken by a friend in high school.  I remember that he had gotten a new camera and fancied himself a photographer and convinced me to sit for a portrait.  As you can see the colors were pretty bad and my hair was worse.  I erased the background, gave myself a haircut and then did a sketch effect and went from there.  Glad I never threw this out.  I am an admitted packrat.
