Jeff and I just spent a wonderful weekend away with friends that finished with a visit to the Western Railway Museum in Suisun, California. There we rode a streetcar and an interurban electric train along the railway. I took loads of photos with my iPhone, most throughout the car house filled with historic electric-powered rail vehicles. My favorite images were close-up shots of sections of the trains. Some of these photos will make great digital collage backgrounds as well as backdrops for quotes and other text.
These would also make great wall decor in the form of wood block mounted photos or canvas prints. 
So, next time you’re out and about with a camera, even one built into your phone, close in and snap some interesting compositions to create a library of beautiful imagery for your own projects!
Just in time for Halloween dress-up I have silly vintage cartoon bodies and extras to share for turning any mug into a goofy character! Click on the image below for FREE PDF file download. (You can open and manipulate a PDF file in many photo and vector software applications.) Use the clips for digital pieces like the one I made or print and trim out pieces to color and attach to face photos. Use for greeting cards, T-shirt designs, scrapbook layouts, blog gadgets and more. Share in the classroom for Halloween party fun- (have the kids bring face images to photocopy to school.) If you use any, I would love to see the results!
