Inspirational words of 2010 - Innocence

At One Powerful Hour we're supposed to choose inspirational words for the current year. (This 4x4 didn't exactly go as planned. I realize now I'd rather have left the angels and clouds in sober black and white tones, but anyway...) I've chosen "innocence", not only as an inspirational word, but as a value I'll try to live by throughtout the year because it seems to be an endangered value in the world today. Even children seem to have lost their innocence... :-(((

Bookmarks - Big Art Adventure

I made these bookmarks about a year ago for a swap partner (who was a woman of faith) at swap-bot. (The crocheted book thong was for her Bible). I didn't get to post the pictures then, so I'm using them now for Rosie and Linda's Art Adventure whose challenge is, of course, bookmarks.

(Just in case you're wondering, the beautiful Virgin Mary painting is by Bouguereau, one of my favourite painters. As for the little girl freebie, I've forgotten where I found it. Sorry!)

Thanks for looking!

Angels - Make a Moo or Two

The theme at MMT this week is angels, so I couldn't miss it. I have several angel stamps but this is definitely my favourite, which you can see in full here.

Thanks for looking!

Angel(s) ATCs

"Angel(s)" is the theme both at Think monday, Think ATC and Wednesday Stamper. I love angels, so I guess I got a bit carried away... I think I might include some of these ATCs in Christmas cards. My favourite ATC is the one which has the brown-stamped angel caressing the dove and the scalloped little blue flowers on the right side. (It's the one at the bottom of the post.) However, I also like the one with Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus - I love that Bouguereau image! - and the other one with the golden angel playing (with the music notes in the background). The two ATCs in the middle were kind of experiments... that didn't turn out so well... Tell me, what's your favourite?
(Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures. I'm still using my Sony Eriksson mobile to snap them.)

Bookmarks for a swap - part 1

I've been making bookmarks for a swap at http://www.bot-swap.com/. I can't wait to know who my swap partners are so that I can personalise the remaining bookmarks. What you can see here is the front and the back of the same bookmark. The beautiful angels stamp is by "Marks of distinction."
