Tribute to Queen - Forever Freddie

Good morning dear friends! This morning I'm working on the 'Feeling British Challenge.' Since I don't know anyone from or have never traveled to Brittan, I decided I would scarp hubby's all time favorite British band instead. So here is my tribute to Queen. While collecting pic's for this lo, I found so many I liked, I had to do a 2 pager and even then I don't feel like I quite did them justice.

Pictured here are band members Freddie Mercury (lead singer), Brian May (lead guitar), Roger Taylor (bass guitar) and John Deacon (drums). These legendary band members took the glam rock arena by storm during the 1970's and the rest was history! Freddie Mercury, who majored in stardom while giving new meaning to the word showmanship, left a legacy of songs, which will never lose their stature as classics to live on forever.

Freddie Mercury denied his battle with AIDS till his deathbed confession in 1991.
Despite twenty years having passed since Freddie lost his life, he remains in the minds of millions throughout the world as one of the greatest artists we will ever see. In September 2010 a poll carried out among rock fans saw him named the Greatest Rock Legend Of All Time, beating Elvis Presley to claim the title, and ahead of David Bowie, Jon Bon Jovi, Jimi Hendrix and Ozzy Osbourne. Their music will live on...

Thank you for dropping by my gallery today and I do hope you enjoyed my little tribute to Queen this morning. Have a marvelous day! Rock On...Dawna

Grandma Vista with the Good Health Peddler

This picture takes us way back to a time when peddlers would go door to door to sale their wares.  In this case, it's a 'Good Health' peddler and he apparently took pictures too!  This is a pic of my grandmother Vesta in circa 1940's. 

Reflections

This is my beautiful granddaughter Quinn taking a walk in her local park.  The striking colour of the photograph is wonderful and it was my goal to create an organic layout that would compliment this beautiful photo.  Did plenty of inking, masking, stamping, punching and embelishing.  Thank you for dropping by my gallery today dear friends!

Enjoy the Moments That Make You Smile Mini Album

Welcome friends!  This morning I'm bringing you a beautiful Bo Bunny Weekend Market Mini Album.  I couldn't resist the beautiful rich colors of this collection.   Just had to try my hand a mini, which turned out to be huge!  The tags are 4 by 6 and there's twenty seven of them making this perfect for photos!  It's so huge it wouldn't fit inot it's rings so I had to assemble it using lace to tie it together!  I love how it came out and I hope you enjoy it too!

Friends are Lifetime Treasures Maya Mini Album for "Scraputante"

This is only my second mini album, and I'm really loving this pettie Maya Road Lotus Flower mini album!  This was a gift from my friend Kelly over at Scraputante.  I hope she likes what I did with it!!!  I had a blast making this little piece of heaven!!!

 I used Prima's Printerary Collection papers with some Prima Sun Kissed chippies mixed in. 

Loved all the chippies in this collection.  Added a bit of Dusty attic music notes and Prima butterflies throughout.  Used Recollections bling for the photo tags. 

I love these big beautiful Prima gemstone flowers and the beautiful Noteworthy tags.

I just love the chocholet brown Prima flower with the hat pin from Miss Kelly over at Scraputante. 

 That's what life is all about, making wonderful memories!  And celebrating special moments!

Let's wrap it up with a cup of tea!!!  And last but not least, Family is always together!  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.  Big hugs to you dear friend!
