Remembering the 60's

Do you remember the 60's....when peace and love was the chant of many songs across the radio?? when flower power was flaunted as the way to a better tomorrow? I found this adorable little girl's pic in the public domain, (its posted here on my blog along with some other images I came across and wanted to share with you all)....and this little girl with her garland of flowers reminded me immediately of those days. When I seen the background image for the challenge at artcreationsfriday this week it just seemed as if they belonged together...

so that is how I came up with my entry for this week. I cropped and softened the edges of the photo, added it to the background and then added a few words and some daisies. I like how it came out, hope you enjoy it as well. Thanks for stopping in and have a great day!!

B is for Blue...

The theme at the alphabet challenge blog this week is B is for Blue..... and decided my "B" needed a Bouncing Baby Boy to go with it!! This was all done digitally with images provided with my printshop22. Thanks for looking, have a great day!!

Free Images

thought I'd share a few more pics with you...I found these in the public domain at the library of congress and thought they were so adorable...

isn't this little girl so sweet....like a little mini hippie chick!!

and look at this precious little pair.....love how they are going 50/50 on that drink!!

Have a great day everyone, hope these are some pics you can use.
