Today was a trip to the Denver Museum of Art for a little more inspiration. And this ends up being a rather long story, so here goes.
My friends always come into town for the holidays, and I always try to plan something were everyone can be in one place. So this year it was to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to see the Ghengis Khan exhibit. So I called all the proper people, gave instruction... all be it a bit later than I'm sure some would hope. There were a few drop-outs and finally it was whittled down to four people so we could all fit in my car. Driving there, south on I-25 from the Fort, I hit a huge piece of something and completely tore open the oil pan on my car. Huge hole... Oil EVERYWHERE! I pulled over, had ol' blackie towed to my dad's Meineke for repairs and continued our journey. By now it was about 1:30 PM. We walked to the museum which was PACKED, and attempted to purchase tickets... sold out. So we moped for all of 30 seconds and decided to hit the art museum instead. Talk about inspiration for my own personal crafting!! There were all kinds of things that I picked out the colors on... lines... textures.. it was like an overload. There was a western exhibit that we went through... I just had to work out something special:
It has been a seriously long day... but everything this month went by so fast. I have plans for January, the month of resolutions... and will involve some blog candy. So stay tuned, that post will go up Jan 1st 2010!!

Great cards!!! Love the bride card and how you interpreted the sketch!!!
ReplyDeleteTFS! As usual, your work is fabulous!
Sorry Miss Magoo was sick and your computer died. No fun. Sounds like rough, expensive month.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you interpreted the December sketch to use ribbon instead of strips and spaces. Very elegant.
Retro Cowgirls is my favorite stamp set and you did it proud. Love the western vibe in the paper and details.
Sounds like a difficult day ended up being ok. Glad you stayed positive enough to see the inspiration. Both creations are fabulous and very different from each other.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous...I haven't been to either of those museums forever & I'm just 1 1/2 hours away from there! Your layout & design work so well with the image...you would think it was from a kit! TFS!
ReplyDeletewhat lovely cards! Love your designs!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards!

ReplyDeleteNow I want to hit the local museum in Toledo for more inspiration! So glad to hear Miss Magoo is better. Your "look on the bright side" attitude is inspiring, too! Your cards are great.
