Some fun photo art and Word Wednesday Challenge

Big Huge Labs is a really cool site where you can create your own motivational posters, puzzles, make your images look like magazine covers, postmarked images, Pop art and all sorts of really cool stuff. It's so fun!! The above stamp was made using the image from my balcony when we vacationed in Aruba several years ago. A tulip from my garden last spring turned into a puzzle.

I could play around with it for hours. I just may do that too on a day off. I found an inspirational quote online and made my own title and put that and an image together to make the poster above. After looking and looking for a quote that I liked I fell in love with this one. How perfect. It epitomizes motherhood to me. Below is pop art featuring moi, just for fun.

So go have some fun with it but don't blame me if you get sucked in and lose track of time like I did.
Okay, okay onto the word challenge. This weeks challenge is fun and simple. Some of you may know the game Balderdash. Well our family loves playing this game when we all get together. The idea behind it is to make others believe your answer is the correct one. So I have a couple of words for you to figure out. One of the 3 meanings is correct. You choose which one and put your answer in your comments. I will let you all know the answers in Thursdays post. Have fun! No cheating and Googling it. =)
1. fabrefaction
a. act of fashioning or making a work of art
b. fashioning a garment with multiple fabrics
c. multiple fabrications
2. stiricide
a. the combining of chemicals to form a pest control formula
b. the falling of icicles from a house
c. the death of the stirrup pants trend
3. phalerate

Free image to play with and the Unscramble

Just look at this cool blue/turquoise door. It is an antique and has the coolest chippy paint job.
This door graces a fun restaurant on Folly Beach called Taco Boy. I am in love with it. lol The colors, the texture, the hardware...aaah...Anyway, it is free for you to use in your art. Here are some more pictures of the interior:I love the authentic Mexican decor. They have the coolest light fixtures all over the ceiling. They have handmade and hand carved masks on the walls not to mentions some awesome tacos and salsa. We're not talking your everyday tacos either. Sure they have those too but they also offer some unusual menu items like; spic Mexican pork sausage and potatoes, Tempura or sauteed shrimp, Baja and Ahi tuna, Flank steak, grilled fish, etc. And all sorts of Margarita's. Yum! Anyway, if you ever come to the Charleston area, you can be sure you will enjoy a drink or meal here.
Okay, yesterday, I gave 4 scrambled words to figure out. Here are the words unscrambled;
sunshine
happiness
January
inspiration
Mina got 3 of the words and Lisa got all 4 so great job ladies! I love word puzzles! Next Wednesday we will have a different type of Word post. Come join in the fun if you want. Add your own link in the comments so we can come see your Word Wednesday post also. It can be anything having to do with words. A poem, a quote, a definition, a tongue twister, a riddle, a scramble, whatever. I have added a button to my sidebar if you care to add it. Maybe others will want to come play with us. It is in my sidebar.
Have a lovely Thursday friends.

Word Wednesday Challenge

I have deemed (makes me sounds like a queen or something) Wednesdays to be Word Wednesdays. I will have a riddle, a word scramble, a tongue twister or something fun every Wednesday. Add a link in your comments to your own, if you'd like to have some fun with us.

So today's word challenge will be to unscramble the following words:

suennish
ssipepnah
aarjyun
tiininopars

Hints in order: blue skies, cheer, cold month, what we hope to gain from one another. You can leave the answers in your comments or not. Have fun! Tomorrow I will list the answers. Oh and I made the button above if you want to add it to our sidebar so others can play with us.
