What happened to Dorothy?

After the Red Brick Road - did you ever wonder what happened to Dorothy when she grew up?

There are some interesting challenges going on now, they made me ask the question - and then answer it.
Let's see... I say when Dorothy grew up she got tired of Kansas and moved to Paris. She still likes red shoes though, but wears them the grown-up way, with high heels.

Out of Kansas

I am entering this into:

The Mirror Crack1d: Canvas

I used canvas on the background. I once salvaged a strip of prepared canvas, no idea where I might have gotten it from but it has been traveling with me for ages. Now I finally found a place for it. I used ink on the background, and once it was dry (two days!!) I stamped it with a map of Paris. Then came the picture of the couple (CI) and a shoe (from a magazine) that I glued heavily with shiny glitzy rhinestones.

Both pictures click for larger. Thanks for looking!

Simon says: Bake!

... No, not really, they only tell you to use x, y or z at Simon Monday Challenge Blog. (I chose y for yellow.) I have never entered before, I wonder if stamping is obligatory? Well, I'll be bound to find out.
So it's vanilla custard yellow for color as it pairs very well with my intended theme of baking.

I have had these bakery-themed photos for ages, received in a swap. On their own they are too large for the ATC format, so I decided to make it a triptych.

I am also entering this triptych into into The Mirror Crack1d 's May challenge.

Kesää kohti mennään ja leipomuksia peräänkuulutetaan TJK 21-22:ssä, onhan toukokuun loppu suurinta leipomiskautta kun on kaiken maailman valmistujaisia ja lopettajaisia. Mutta miksi tyytyä yhteen kakkuun, kun leipomossa voi tehdä niitä kymmeniä? Näin minä tuumin, ja rupesin hommiin.  Muinoin säästämäni pahvinen kakkulaatikko sai uutta käyttöä korttipohjina. Lisäsin kaikenlaista kivaa skräppiä erilaisista tarvikevaihdoista, maalailin hieman taustaa ja eritoten nuo kirjaimet. Ne olivat alunalkaen mustaa muovia. Ne saivat päälleen akryylimaalia ja vielä suojalakkaa.
Kortit ovat vapaina vaihtoon, mielellään menossa samaan kotiin. Olisi kiva vaihtaa toiseen triptyykkiin eli kolmen yhteenkuuluvan kortin sarjaan.
