Clip art

Good morning

I have been ask many times where do you find your clip art ...so I thought I would post a few places for you....

http://picasaweb.google.com/giov4nn

http://picasaweb.google.com/snucelo

most of these are in another language , but just click on one of the books there are....patterns / crafts/ some you have to color / how to's ....if you don't like what you see just search picas....it is sort of like photobucket, they have anything you want ! all you have to do is right click on a pic you want , copy it and save it then you can do what you want with it.......I open mine with paint so I can re size it , then I print it out.

I included some samples of what you can get in this post for you !

I made a card with the bears.....

Enjoy

with sympathy

Good morning all

This was a tough card for me to make....On Monday My Daughter's Boyfriend's Uncle and Dad

where helping remodel their church , they were on their way home when they were in an accident. A girl claims she lost her brakes and hit them broad side....found out she didn't loss her brakes and the police are investigating it..they think maybe drugs was involved.

Well they both went to the hospital his Uncle John they said was just really banged up but would be OK, His Dad was banged up also and some broken ribs....they sent them home.

5 : 30 in the morning His Uncle John had a heart attack, they life flighted him to the hospital and in rout he went in to cardiac arrest... and went in to a comma.....that afternoon he was pronounced brain dead and taken off life support.....What really bothers me is they said it was the airbag that hit him so hard that it damaged his heart...I just can't get over how something that was made to save your life takes it away...that is soooo sad.

So I made this card for His Aunt.... I have to add the saying on the inside yet.

I used ....joys of the season cart for the dove with swirls cut @ 2 1/2 ins and added some 3d iridescent paint and pop dotted it.

Cuttle bug Swirls embossing folder

Martha Stewart boarder punch

E K Success corner punch

Lace / pearls and made a lace flower added a brad for the center.
