My Oil Paintings

This is a little different post for me but I want to share some of my old oil paintings with you.. This is what I use to do long before I started scrap booking and card making.. I posted these a long time ago on my old blog, so I'm sure some of you have already seen them.. My hubby wishes I would go back to painting..But I got to where the thinner really made me sick.. So I gave it up..I also did many scenes and a few people But these are the only ones that I have left I sold many of them and gave a lot of them to my family..

Well let me know what you think oil painting or card making. LOL... I'll never give up card making.. Night all.

The Sisterhood Challenge (Germany)

Morning all, well its time again for another Sisterhood challenge. Our sweet and talented Micki is our hostess this week.. And she has decided that we are heading to Germany.. Now when I first thought of Germany I thought of beer, chocolate, castles, and the colors of the flag Black, Red, and Yellow..I ended up doing two cards for this challenge as I was not to happy with this first one.. I went with the flag colors and tried to incorporate a castle.. Its funny how you get something in your head and then when you put it on paper it doesn't come out at all like you thought it would..

So then I did this one just using the colors of the flag. Well I hope you will join us this week, we would love to see what you come up with..Please be sure to check out the other sisters creations.. Thank you all for stopping by and for all your lovely comments.. I love hearing for you..

Just has a head ack. But the Dr. did not want him to go back to the camp out. Just wants him to take it easy, for the rest of the night..
