Hero and She-roes Frame
I used both military sets from Artistic Outpost for this frame. I started out with a canvas-like frame from Michael's. It's white and has a sort of plastic linen look to it. I covered it completely with a craft/pigment pad first, and let that dry. Then add images randomly with darker shades of craft/pigment pads.
This picture is of my friend Sam, as he was swearing into the Navy to work on Nuclear Submarines (I think)...please correct me if I'm wrong Sam! Sam is the third gentleman in.

As the Flag goes by
It was easy to see this image as a small hand held flag. I used one of the new She-roes images, a paintbrush for the pole and vintage buttons with verdigris on the edge. Susan Conrad, guest designer 2009
We Salute She-roes
Image is was inked with distress inks, and stamped on Vanilla card stock. Inked again in Black Archival, cut woman out, color and adhere over base image.

Enjoy Cracker Jack...
Our love of baseball runs deep. Childhoods were spent at the ballpark either playing ourselves or watching our brothers. At the turn of the century, when baseball became an American passion, gentleman wore hats and ties to the game, the players rode the subway to Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, and there was no such thing as the "replay".
We hope you enjoy this collection, inspired by the great players, and the original ball clubs that inspired a nation.
A little about She-roes...Women have always carried half the sky. During WWII, women began carrying their half in the armed forces as well. Whether they were nursing the sick or flying in the Women's Air Corp, this collection celebrates our "she-roes".
Both collections are available in unmounted sheets or pre-cut on EZ Mount cling foam.
Our Designers have been busy creating some fabulous artwork using these new releases be sure to stop by their blogs to see some of their creations using these new sets
