The PaperWhimsy 2009 Quotes Challenge

I joined the Paper Whimsy Forum because I fell in love with the 2009 Quotes Challenge. This is "a magical journey with child poet Hilda Conkling in words & pictures." I came into one it challenge late but decided to post my creation for the March 1 Poem, Moss, and then do the February one in a few minutes (like I can create it in a few minutes!!).

For the challenge you have to use certain images each time and you have a choice of using the free limited edition PaperWhimsy collage sheets or not. However, you must use at least one PaperWhimsy image that you have purchased.

Moss -- Green velvet to look upon. . . .

"Velvet rugs for the footsteps of the wind"

"I have heard the wind pass and return." These are some of my favorite phrases in the poem. (another reason I am doing this challenge is I want to work on my own poetry written in my twenties and thirties into a spread-book like this.)

I experimented by printing the images and then reprinting on a dictionary page from an old book. I loved the look and used it as part of my background on the right side. I also used one of my favorite Angela Cartwright Transparency Sheets available at Stamington & Company. I love this angel and now have to go and purchase more of the "Stone Portals Trans 3."

You can also see the PaperWhimsy image I used. I combined two - the young girl and the butterfly wings. I am waiting on other images to be sent to me in the mail and so I used a down loadable image sheet I purchased. Her products are so unbelievable beautiful.

For the "bird" - I used the image on the collage sheet and printed it three times - one time onto a dictionary page. All in all, this was a very satisfying project for me to work on. Hope you enjoy it.

I now need to run out to Starbucks real quick before I start on "February" which is "blue" and all about a little "stone door in my mind." No comments from friends. Yes, I know my brain can be a little rock sometimes. Love you all too, as always. Honeysuckle Breeze signing off for now.
