Inspiration Avenue Challenge-Outfits for All Occasions

Over at Inspiration Avenue this week, I had the pleasure of working with a special co-host for our weekly challenge. Jez, a regular participant in our challenges, offered to present a challenge on fashion. She created examples that were lots of fun and even wrote a tutorial to show how one of her creations was made. I decided to illustrate a fashion faux pas that I learned as a child. Here is my entry.

As always, I'd love to invite you to follow my blog if the mood strikes you. I would also like to suggest that you pop over to Inspiration Avenue to see Jez's fabulous images and the other entries for the challenge here. If you'd like to be a co-host, just leave a comment here or on the IA blog. Thanks for stopping by! Oh, and get lots of wear out of those white shoes between now and Labor Day!

Almost a Self Portrait

If I had a gypsy caravan, I might decorate it like this. The cat, of course, would be a full time resident. Wouldn't it be lovely if we could wear orchids for clothing? Starting tomorrow at Inspiration Avenue, we're having a great co-host who will challenge us with a topic related to clothing. I can't wait!

Digi Blog Train-Fibromyalgia Awareness

Hello there! Our Digi Blog Train group was started so that we could create digital scrapbooking freebies and increase awareness to various issues that are important to our members. This month, we chose to bring attention to a chronic pain condition called Fibromyalgia, that affects an estimated 10 million Americans. It occurs most frequently in women but does strike men and even children. It can affect all ethnic backgrounds. It can be very debilitating for people who have severe symptoms and can often interfere with daily activities and routines. For more information visit the National Fibromyalgia Association here.

This is the color palette we worked from.

Here is my contribution. It contains 7 papers and 17 elements.
