Travels Abroad with Twitter! 

CORRECTION: We will need to re-vamp this design and post it in a corrected and usable form, for Twitter's new ideal is to have everybody's main page look very much the same. As we hadn't been blogging, much less Tweeting, for years and therefore had not heard of this before, I want to apologize on behalf of the Studio for any confusion that may have been caused.
We will test via trial and error means, any and all options with Twitter prior to posting any further items in this category.

For those of you who are about to travel this summer, we thought it might be fun for you if you would be able to Tweet in a themed way about your travels.

In our first Twitter series for quite some time, we've chosen to use that as our theme. Our first destination today will be Ireland, offered here for your use while Tweeting. (Note: None of our work may be sold anywhere for any reason without our express written permission. Just thought it might need saying again.)

Most, if not all, of our work has parts to it that have been offered for free use to anybody, although not for sale. This offering is no different. Credits will be listed with links below.

Choosing just the right background color to surround one's Twitter page can be a tricky problem. Not to worry. We've already figured all of that out for you.

This Twitter background was based in the following RGB color: #196c1B
Anything lighter might look funny.

Please follow the link below, then choose the Download arrow icon.

Enjoy your Tweets and travels with your
Happy Creativity!

Plush Page Frames: Celtic Knotwork Beauties

It's not yet 9:00 AM here in the Studio,  and I'm in love with this morning's post! Haven't even had my breakfast yet, and I'm ready to rhumba! 
And aren't they something? I love every color! And the possibilities seem endless for what they may be used with. Dig the wee lizards at the bottom whose tails become entwined! And I really like that title space at center near those lizards.
I am very interested in dragons, dragon stories, and any ancient references that I can find about them.
I've posted them at "XLarge" size here so you can really see every detail before making your choice.
So, without further ado (partly 'cause my bran flakes are calling me!LOL), here they are.
Happy Creativity!
Rose

An Irish Journey: On the Road to Killarney

Today's posting is of a scanned image out of our library, from the pages of a volume containing Thackeray's "Irish Sketches," and printed in the latter third of the 1800's. Instead of a motor coach of today, here we have a long cart, exposed to fresh breezes and fine air. The road to Killarney is a beautiful one, full of many pleasant views, all in Ireland's special greenery. It is a lovely region, indeed.
So here it is, our offering for today. The children running behind and alongside the cart are truly tragic--perhaps an indication of famine's grip, if not simple poverty. An indication of the times, before social welfare was given to the peoples of Great Britain and its protectorate. All the same, a different, and we hope, enjoyable offering.
We are enjoying the morning with a dose of the Chieftains, Irish music at its finest.
Happy Creating!
Rose & her Studio Friends

Higher Resolution version HERE


NOTE:
our previous versions were fatally flawed.
If you have returned here for any of those we had offered till now, we're certain our better resolution version can offer you the best chance at a true print-off.
Please excuse the previous lack of printability. As our tests have indicated, this was one of our worst offerings to date, and was in sorry need of refreshing.
Thanks for your patience in this matter.
Sincerely, Rose & Studio Friends
