The Printed Word


The new theme for 
'The Printed Word

  I have always loved reading  so this theme has really appealed to me.




While I was making the first page, the  idea for  a second version came to me. Books open doors  for us,  knowledge is so important for everyone.
  I imagined this little one stepping through the page of her book, looking for the answers of the many questions she wanted to ask.


  I used a digital die cut from the computer program I use to cut out the fairy figures from a  book page. So no books were messed up or torn apart to create these pages. 

Thank you for calling in today, your visit and comments are always appreciated.

where the Dreamers challenge for this week is.... Fairy
.............................

This second page is  just in time to join Jo over at 
for one last time this month.
The theme is Poetry in Motion where we were asked to be inspired by a poem, quote, song or saying.



It did start its life as a page in my journal, but had so many layers  added to it in my digital program it is hard to say what came from where.
I do know that I really like the quote I used...
You can do it,
just spread your wings and fly.

I wonder how far the little creature sitting on the mushroom will get when he tries his wings to fly.

Set yourself free



Its not often that I manage  to create a digital page that will fit two challenges ,
I started making this page for AJJ, by using this quote   of  Frida Kallo's.

It  fits how I feel about my digital work a little,  because 
 when I started it all seemed way beyond what I could do.
But,  after  a while   I can now  say,  I love creating digital art,
nearly, but not quite  as much as the hands on inky and messy projects .
Challenges..
Jo's theme for the month .....
Poetry in Motion ....at .....
where we can use songs. quotes, sayings 

and the 
..... Quote
