Blue Martin

I know I know I said that i would not post this morning due to the post last night but it is so hard not to get into the creative mode when I read my favorite blog post in the morning with coffee. It just gets me so hyper that I can not just close the lap to and go on about my day like I'd never seen anything. To cook clean is just so mondane. So yet another little twinkle to go on your web spaces and a big thanks to all my new and old followers. Thank you to all those who have provided credit to my creations on your blogs!!! And thank you to your emails and comments. I am working on slowing down the images and making them more fluid so bare with me and you will be in for a treat. I have a short learning curve when it comes to things like this! Until next time!

Special thanks to The Graphics Fairy for her images

Haunted House

Thought I would get a new post up before tomorrow.  I have to get busy and do some things around the house.  Don't we all know how that goes.  So here is the latest.  I will put a code up for it later but for now..... happy early Halloween.  Don't forget to stop by Jeweled Frog Creations Give-away for the latest give away for your crafting. Once again thanks to Graphics Fairy for her vintage clip art uploads.

A little Blue Bird

As I was pouring over the images of the Graphics Fairy I noticed this fantastic little vintage Birthday Wish with birds all gathered to sing and frolic.  I had been watching the humming birds flick in and out of the feeder with delight and flickering of wings and tails.   That is when it hit me wouldn't this little image look great with some action of wings and tails.  So here for you enjoyment and delight is another animated gif. for you.  I also offer this as a new grab badge on my side bar if you would like a button that will link back here so you can share with your followers my postings and animated gifs.  Please remember to give credit where credit is due.  Don't claim this as your own and don't forget all creative items that I have altered or images posted  here on my web are copyrighted to the Jeweled Frog Creations.

"Never More" Quoth the Raven

My favorite poem (or should I say one of my favorite) is the Raven by Edger Allen Poe and when I saw this raven offered by the Graphics Fairy I could not resist the temptation to turn it into something spooky.  So here is the latest endeavor. 

You've got Mail

I saw this woman and that that this would be a great medium to show that thank you for ...... (what ever) She just seemed to be trying to convey something.  So here for you pleasure and download enjoyment and addition to your web site if desired.

Hot Days

I saw this and just could not resist the urge to make the fan move. With all this hot weather we are having this will fit the bill.   I have changed the image from the original version to make the fan more noticeable.

Special thanks to the Graphics Fairy for all the wonderful free images she makes available to her adoring public. Long may she post

 Enjoy and if you would like to see something else turned into animation just leave me a message!

Buzz up with this bee

Just one more post for today!  This was the little image that I kept thinking would be fabulous with moving parts!  So check out this treat!  Thanks for stopping by

Animated gifs. or should I say gifts

I look your blogs and see wonderful works of creations.  I am attracted to the buttons that grace all of our blogs.  Some are works of art within their own rights.  Each give a glimpse of the artist and what is to come once clicked on.  It was this that started to give me thoughts on what I could do how I could make a small work of art that would direct vision and wonder at what would be seen once clicked on.  So I came up with some small little bits. The first one was a  little animated bird that was flying to deliver mail.

You can click on to it and get the generated code from my photobuckt .  Once that is done you will need to replace the first part of the code with your web link  (shown here is the code from the blooming rose)

 
The second one I thought of would be a rose in bloom.  Now this one was a bit tricky and I believe that after I continue to do a few they will be get better and better.  What is nice is that photobucket offers a thumbnail version so you can have a smaller version on the side bar.  Enjoy

Everyone is used

I was looking for something new in the sea of vintage images that I was looking at.  Something to bring forward and spotlight.  I have had to take a break in my graphics to work on some sewing projects that have long needed my attention.

My son who I have long been photographing in our garden seemed to leap out at me.  That and the the 15year old hates me to post anything to do with her image.  So out of respect and desperation to her and the fact that  Chris loves to be photographed I chose him.  He looked so "country" with my over sized sun hat and the rest just flowed.  I am still working and as far as anything go I am never satisfied with my projects always seeing things that need to be tweaked. All images are created in Photo Shop with the use of layering techniques.  Color changes are used to make the layers flow or have the same color through out.  Selective color was used on the barn roof. 



This next image is another one of my Photographs taken while on a weekend drive and used with the images that are provided by the Graphics Fairy.  The same techniques are used here with the layering and color selection for the barn.  A bit of vintage is used as a back drop (I may keep it as this or change it out  and keep working on it.) Sometimes I see a bit clip art of writing that will hit me as this has to go here or there and then my mind settles on the outcome.
