Adorable Angel Images

These really are two of the most adorable angel images I have seen.  They all are beautiful to me and I hope you will like them as well.  Today I made a collaged box with images of various angels on the lid and it was so pretty!  I think I must be prejudiced though because I think anything with angels is beautiful.  There is simply something appealing that draws me to it!!!
Be sweet and I hope you enjoy the angels and use them on something extra special!!!

Old Child's Book Page

This is a page taken from an old children's book.  I do not even know the name of the book, but times have sure changed!  This is such a treasure and one we should see that is not lost to our children of future generations.  We owe it to them.  I hope you enjoy it.
Be sweet!

Free Digi Art - Angels Amidst The Trees

Images of angels are so beautiful and I hope you like this one I made just for you!!   Two lovely angels with pink dresses flowing and the tiny little angel beside them send a message of peace and love to all mankind.
Be sweet and enjoy your angels!!

A Glimpse Of Heaven

My great grand daughter, Morgan

My great grandson, Christian

Aren't these the sweetest tags ever?  Is it possible I think they are because I made them with little pictures of my 2 tiniest great grand children?  Christian is 11 months old now and has a smile that will absolutely melt a heart of stone!  Look out all you baby girls when this little one is a teenager because he will surely win the heart of everyone who looks at him!! 

The other, Morgan, is 4 1/2 months old now and has the smile of an angel ... in fact IS an angel.  I tell you, when she opens that little rosebud mouth to laugh and those blue eyes begin to sparkle you catch a glimpse of what Heaven must be like, for it is a feeling of pure joy!!

Of course, I suppose it is a natural feeling known by every great grandmother.  I am so thankful, so grateful to have 5 sweet little angel great grandchildren.  Some people never have any so I am so very blessed and so lucky to be included in those who do.

Vintage Ads - Campbell's Soup And Sunkist

I love this old Campbell's Soup ad!!  Just look at the variety, 21 kinds and what a value with such a low price!!  I wish I could fill a grocery cart full of soup at those prices to say nothing of stocking up on good old Sunkist.  Boy, those were the days!  But then, the week's wages may have only been twelve or fifteen dollars!!  I remember once I spent seventeen dollars on  groceries and I was scared as all get out to tell my husband because I usually only spent around twelve dollars Strange as it sounds today, we ate quite well and had about anything our little old hearts desired!!!  Enjoy you freebies and go make something!!
Above all, be sweet and kind to all!

Sweet Vintage Angels

Angels are all around us if we quiet our minds, be peaceful, be serene and tranquil ... we don't even have to look and search for them ... they are just there.  We do not always see them but we can feel their presence.
I know you will love these sweet angel images every bit as much as I do.  They are so beautiful in a collage on the lid of a dainty little box, with the box bottom painted in a soft pastel color.  Enhance the lid with small pastel buttons, "jewels" or tiny beads, bits of old lace or a lovely little bow hot glued in place.  Place paper shreds or tissue paper in the box before placing your treasure inside.  It makes a wonderful gift.
I recently made such a little box for my grand daughter with only an old black and white photo of her parents that I had put into a small collage on a card.  It was such a personal little gift for her and she loves and cherishes it.  I am sure she will keep it forever and am so glad I could give her a gift she will cherish..  Don't forget to add your name and the date on the bottom of the box or, as I did, on the back of the picture inside.  You could even write it on the box bottom inside.  Anyway, I hope you will have fun with your angels.
Just remember to be sweet!!!

ATC Swap

This is my very first ATC swap a swap hosted by Blissfull ATC Swap and I am totally hooked!!  I received my sweet little card in the mail from Sharon of Wildflowerhouse.  I hope you will check out these blogs.  You just might be inspired to make an ATC yourself!!  Already I am planning on buying pages to store mine in as I know they will begin to accumulate.  I told Sharon I hope mine holds together as it was only the 2nd or 3rd I had ever made!  I THINK I have found a better glue.  I am posting the card I got from Sharon so you can see for yourself how lovely it is.

. 
Is this not the cutest, sweetest thing you ever saw?!  The theme for August is "orange".  I love this and now I am the proud owner of my very first Artist Trading Card!!!
Be sweet and go make a card!!!

Freebie Images, Two Old Soap Ads

These are the cutest ads.  They are very feminine and would be perfect for a collaged bottle or jar.  You can paint the bottle in a coordinating pastel color, collage the lid in pastel colors and adhere a matching bow on one side of the lid or simply tie with jute.  The label is glued on with a bit of decoupage glue, then wipe the medium on front of the label to give it a nice finish.  Carefully wipe off any excess around the label if necessary.  These little jars are adorable filled with candy, homemade bath salts or any number of things.  So go and be creative.  Let me know what you come up with.  I love to hear and see new ideas!!!Be sweet!!!

Freebie Image Assortment and "Just Thoughts"

Quite an assortment for you today!  I actually remember having a phone almost exactly like the image here, where we had to take the receiver off and hold the cylindrical mouthpiece just right to be heard!!!
Uh, oh! Have I almost told my age?  More likely that was a very realistic dream I had one night.  I surely can't be that old!!  Or can I? 
My favorite of the 3 images today is the book with the white rose.  I think it looks very elegant and I hope you like it as well.  I also love the old ad for peaches grown in Georgia.  I hope you will find a use for them and let me see what you have come up with.

I am participating in an ATC swap at, of all things, Blissfull ATC Swap.   I would love it if you would pop over and take a look.  It is rather new and is growing by leaps and bounds.  I hate to admit I have only made one ATC.  That is pretty pitiful, but I was invited to participate so I was not about to refuse!!!  I will be posting the card I receive from my swap partner as soon as it arrives.  Isn't that fun? 
I am fascinated by old things.  They are so unique, so special in showing us a life different as we know it to be today.  What amazes me is that so many of the things that were done matter of factly back in the day  is now coming into a full circle and folks are calling homemade cleaners, making do with what you've got, living a more simple life, etc. "the new way"!!  The new way is the old way, the way my mom and grandmas cooked and cleaned, ran their house and their lives.  It works as well to day as it did then.  Don't fix it if it ain't broke!
Be sweet!!

Vintage Images - Girls With Flowers

These sweet little girls holding flowers are so gorgeous.  I hope you can use them in your art and that you like them as much as I do.        As always, be sweet!

Old Jello Ads

I love these old ads!  Of course, I love anything old, but I am fascinated by the advertising of yesteryear.  I like the simple graphics and wording.
I have some old Jello ads that I hope you will like and use them in your art.  I have not figured out exactly what to do with them yet.  Two heads are better than one, so maybe a bunch of heads are better than two!!  If anyone has an idea for them, will you please share it?  I would like to see something done with them.

Be sweet now!

A Couple More Of My Own Little Digi Creations

This is my mother in law at age 16.  Wasn't she a beauty?  I placed her over a picture of apple blossoms that I cropped to fit.  I got too much color on the edges and never could shrink it or remove it but it was fun to try!

This is one I played with a while and am not sure exactly what I am supposed to be doing but I guess if I sort of like it, it may be okay for others as well.  I haven't learned how to get the colors I would like but I guess it gets easier with practice.  I would especially like to thank Bliss Angels for her sweet comments on my last post! They were so encouraging and make me want to learn even more.  Thank you SO much!!!  Now if I can ever figure out how to make an ATC!!!
Remember to always be sweet and always be nice!!

Free Digital Images

These are two images I made playing in my digital image program. It is such fun for me and I just might have found a new hobby!!  Can you imagine, at my age?! I have always loved to manipulate photos of my family to use in my scrapbooks, but I have done these two to give as freebies on this site and hope you will find them useful in your art. They are free to use as you please. I only ask for a link back to my site or credit for them. I hope you like them and have as much fun using them as I did in making them.
Be sweet!!

Mesmerizing Angel Images

I don't believe I know or have ever known anyone who is not mesmerized by angels.  The sweet little cherubs bring us a sense of well being and calmness.  Countless images of angels have graced walls, lurked in the minds of many and brought happiness to all who had the pleasure to look upon them.
These are three such images.  They are yours, free to use as you please. I hope you like them.  They are gorgeous when sepia toned, placed on an old fashioned paper along with an inspirational quote. I have often placed a page from an old songbook on the page as well.  They are then matted with black, put into a pretty frame and become a beloved gift to place in a prominent place on a loved one's wall or display in a holder on a night stand or favorite table.  There are many, many ways the lovely little angels can be incorporated into a gift or craft.
Enjoy your angels and ... be sweet!!

Music and Roses Image Freebies

Aren't these images gorgeous?  I think all three would be perfect on the front of a handmade card or decoupaged on the top of a little box lined with a pastel fabric or decoupaged pstel paper to match..  I hope you like them and enjoy them as I have.
As always, be sweet!

Free Vintage Images

These little birdies are just the cutest little things!  I love our feathered friends.  One of the freebie images in particular would be beautiful gracing the front of a birthday card.  I am sure you can find a spot for them and hope you like them as much as I do.
Till next time, be sweet!

Girls With Pink Flowers

These three little ladies have more than the pink flowers in common!  They also are absolutely gorgeous.  I know without a doubt you will put these little beauties in a special project you probably already have planned and were waiting on just the special image to use.  Well, wait no more, for they have arrived in the nick of time!!

As always, enjoy and be sweet!               

Lovely Lady Tags

Today I have 3 lovely lady tag freebies for you.  Aren't they beautiful in the big hats and the roses.  I love tags and find them great to attach to gifts for any occasion or to use in art work, collage, decoupage, etc.  I am sure you will come up with some project to use pretty little tags.  I hope you like them.
 As always, be sweet!

Gorgeous Old Magazine Covers

Cosmopolitan and The Ladies Home Journal for 15 cents?  The blue Cosmopolitan is newer, 1933 to be exact and the price has gone to a whopping 25 cents!!  Wouldn't it be nice to purchase such classy magazines at those prices today?!
Hats were so fashionable back in the day.  I love the black hat with the big red ribbon, although the jaunty little beige with its cluster of flowers is stunning as well.
I hope you like these images and can find a use for them in one of your projects.  I think they would be lovely, simply matted and framed in a set.
That's about it for this time, so be sweet, all and enjoy the freebies.
