I went out this week and tried to get my photos for this
week's Scavenger Hunt Sunday, and nothing was working for me.
So sad to say I had to take a pass on this weeks hunt.
I think I got a little bit distracted when I saw this little fella flying around.
I caught quit a few shots of him, But I just love the way this one tuned out.
You know how I love to get shots of Humming birds.
I also got a shot of this guy trying to stay hydrated..
You need to do that here in the desert. I just love the reflection here..
I also have been busy playing with my Art supplies.
This is the Mixed Media page I did for a brand new challenge
that's going on. It's a Mixed Media color challenge.
The colors this for the challenge are Pink and Grey and Black.
I painted my page grey, and then added some crackle finish to it and then pink
on top. I love the way it turned out.
I also made a tag for a Girlfriend of mine..
It was her Birthday. I have told you before how I love
to give a handmade bookmark along with a book. I do hope she likes it.
Lots of pink paint and markers and pencils used up this week. Hee Hee..
On Wednesday we will be taking Big Bertha to
Oregon for a whole week. I am super excited.
You know who I will be visiting?
Hugs~

WOnderful photos Linda, and I love your journal page too, awesome effect of the crackled paint, I can't get those work for the longest time!
I was thinking to take my girls to visit Big bertha soon but guess I will have to wait till you come back, have fun with your love ones, take lots of picture, I know you will!
I could see your photographs in the top magazine, they are amazing.... nothing like having a close up image of beautiful creatures. Your journal is magical, that texture with the crackle is so amazing, and I adore your tags. Wishing you happiness today...x
Love the gorgeous shot of that birdie!
And those crackle effects look amazing on your journal page!
really love your page.
Lovely shots once again and your mixed media is so beautiful! I have no doubt that your friend will adore your handmade tag ... and Oregon ... yep know few people there you could be seeing!
If I could describe you in a short sentence I would say "a maker of pretty things." I would also have to make it the longest sentence in the world and add things like "thoughtful", "kind", and so on and so forth. :) Since you are going to Oregon will you be going to Grant's Pass? It's one place my hubby would like to visit someday. He got some brochures once and it was just an amazing place. Happy trails, stay safe. :)
I just love the color combination here, Linda, and both the journal page, and tags are beautiful.
FANTASTIC shot of the hummingbird. Love the motion that you were able to capture.
have a wonderful week ahead, my friend. xo.
Such beautiful pics, Linda, and I just love your plays on pinks in your beautiful projects! That crackle effect is pure scrumptiousness!
Fantastic photo of the hummingbird, you've caught it at an unusual angle, very original and so magical :)
But these are all so great anyway... thanks for sharing them. I really love the one of your mug of tea.... and your art work is getting even more gorgeous. LOVE the crackled pink and the birds on the wire.
