Just wanted to share some cards real quick from the past month! Oy, having an infant sure does funny things with the time, somethings go bye so slowly and then everything seems to wisk by in a haze. I can’t believe that my daughter is already in a baby swing she isn’t even 5 months yet but she loves to be mobile! So now I have a little time to share my glittered Baby cards using Stampin Ups Sticky cuts letters, and my stamped and Inked card using Art Chix Chixie Bubbles collage image. You can check out my earlier glittered baby cards I’ve made HERE. And my earlier post about the Chixies Bubble artwork I did HERE. I have also been scouring the internet for FREE vintage images to use in my cards and artwork and have found some really nice sites.If you are looking to make a vintage style project you will definitely enjoy these! Please link back here and to the other sites if you use the images for your own personal use. And with my photos they belong solely to me so please leave a comment if you have any questions about any of my artwork you see on Pinkdilla.

Karen’s Whimsy has Gorgeous Prints, coloring pages, book pages and more. She is very thorough and has a wide selection of Angels which I love!

The next site is Art-e-zine  Vintage Images offering very pretty and girly FREE images mostly ranging from turn of the century postcards and hand tinted photos.

and Lastly is a very detailed list of FREE Hollywood images on Dr. Macro movie scans site. Lots of Audrey so I’m so excited to be able to make some paperdolls out her image!

While going through some old albums to find some meaningful and deep pages to photograph for a friend I decided to share them here on Pinkdilla as well. I’m a firm believer in sharing family photos and stories with the next generation, kids should know who their grandparents and great-grandparents are. From just displaying photos in the house to actually talking about the memories with our kids I’m fortifying the grounds of romance that have gone down through the generations and that is how any of us are here to begin with! 2 People, somewhere, fell in love, got married and had you! Maybe you don’t have kids yet or maybe you are waiting for kids, scrapbook a memory page of you or your parents as babies or kids! I was missing my grandma like everyday and decided to keep on scrapbooking pages of her and also my grandpa. Seeing them young and in love makes them real and makes them close by to me. I also feel a strong connection to Galveston Island the place were several generations of my family started!

In 2003 I really struggled as an artist and then I came up with this page penning the quote "Read Me with a Gentle Hand" it was Published in the Art Journal Calendar 2004

"I can’t Live without My Sister" Breast Cancer awareness page Published in Legacy 2004

I was inspired to make a pink and green themed card for Helga’s blog contest, you can see her blog MY Artistic Life, using an arch window card and some wire to make a clothes line. The fabulous little lacey things are just snips of lace in the shape of a dress, a towel and a swimsuit. The green background is from the Sweet Spring collage sheet, the Queen me stamps are from Technique Tuesday I love these, and the bird scrap is German.

I also was also inspired after rescuing this dainty chair from the curb to reclaim it and paint it with a sweet pink dry brush technique. I hope you are also inspired to get out there and PINK!

I’m in love with Alice in Wonderland and I’m also passionate about paper dolls so I decided to make some wonderland characters, Alice, the mouse, a teapot and the mad Hatter. These were submitted for an Alice themed magazine issue, they weren’t accepted, but I wanted to share anyways.
