A touch of Spring!!!




It sure felt alot different today than it did this week-end. We were up in the mid 50s today and it was wonderful. I came home from work this afternoon and spent several hours in the yard raking leaves and pruning. I difinitly have spring fever. I know we will have several more cold spells, but I also know that warmer weather is not far off.
Below are a couple of 4 x 4s that I did for a swapbot swap.

The next pics are of some postcards I made for a altered postcard swap. I used scans of the old postcards that I bought at a antique store and then layered them with transparencies. Then edged them with silver tape.





I am tired tonight so I will say good night to everyone and I hope everyone has a great evening!

Bethy! They are beautiful! I love the transparencies. I'm going to have to try that, now that you gave me some to try! Gee, I wish I could get motivated to work outside and on artwork!

Just getting caught up on the last two of your posts...what a blessing you Feb. girls have, sharing the same birth month,enjoy each other. And wow girl this is some great stuff you've been making. I like the idea of the ATC holder and the old post cards.

Lovely postcards. Yes, the weather is getting warmer here, but I am resisting going out to plant the order I have just received from the plant nursery. I will check what the weather is like on Sunday, most of the plants will survive any bad spells of weather which I am sure we have still to come.

WOW Beth I really, really like how you did the transparencies over the postcard, what a gREAt Idea!
I also think it's so sweet the way you and your mom get together for art.
Spring seems to be coming and going here - one or two days I FEEL it and it's beautiful...then bam, rain and gray!
Your new camera really takes beautiful photos!
XOXO
