Marta van Eck...

has new kit out @ Deviant Scrap.  Its called Family Album and is great for those heritage photographs.

Clementine Designs...

has a new kit out:  Street Dollies.  It is on the darker side; and the background papers are FANTASTIC!

Here are some layout I've made with the kit:

Yes, thats my head!

The word art reads:
You can change your life if you change your mind.

Taking time to remember...

Memorial Day 2011

Taken at the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery
I used the texture Stained Linen by Kim Klassen (see her
Texture Tuesday icon to the lower right).

Portals...

Portals are often viewed as gateways, doors or entrances.  A portal could also be a vehicle or form of transportation...a plane or train.  This month at Scrapbookgraphics, Tangie Baxter has challenged the Caravaners to create portals.

For this challenge, I've decided to emphasize art and artists who inspire me; those individuals or works of art that transport me to another time or place...or take me deep into my imagination.  These artists are my portals.

This is the first of my Portals.  I was greatly inspired by the work of Douglas Alves.

And this is the second Portal I have created.  I became intrigued with this style of Lady after reading and viewing the Autumn 2010 Somerset Digital Studio. Angi Sullins & Silas Toball in addition to Aimee Stewart were inspirations for this piece.
