Well after creating like a mad women, ignoring everything else, and posting everyday last week, I found myself feeling overwhelmed by emails and other real life stuff that had to be taken care of by Sunday. I was in a funk for a couple of days, so I started blog hopping tonight, checking out challenges, searching for inspiration. And then, there they were ... these 2 sweet little girls. I found them on Cora's "Digital Two for Tuesday" Blog and I immediately was inspired to print them and color.
Isn't it funny what each of us are inspired by and right now, at this point, there is just something about those vintage images that is calling my name, teehee. And they are free, that helps too! I am on an extremely tight budget so I think that's why I creating more with digitals right now. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my rubber and clear stamps, and if I had the money would be loading up on them, but alas, real life doesn't always work out that way. So for now the digi's are getting me through. Thank you Cora!!
You can find this image to copy and print HERE.
I love it when Cora tells us where the images are from too. This one is from a book written in 1900's. There is just something soooo cool about knowing that someone so long ago sat down and put their heart into their art, that it was preserved until now, and that we can still enjoy what was their passion so many years ago, making it a part of what we love to do.
Wanna see what other projects I have created with Cora's free digi's?? Click HERE.
have a great day! Melisa
