There are 2. parts to the contest and I added a third part for fun........I decided to copy the instructions here for parts 1. and 2. so it would be easier to keep track of them (also they need to be 3 inches by 3 inches and 72 dpi...what I did was resize mine to 233 by 233 pixels or as close as I could...:) I'm still learning, maybe someone has some tips.
1. Take a picture of a heart.Could be something that is in a shape of a heart or small objects making the shape of a heart, a man made heart, not human..... BUT remember is should be something that you would like to see framed in a collage, so a human heart might not work....Ü. Lighting is essential, & clarity is also important. So make sure you use a tripod, or steady your arm on something , so you don't move when you snap the picture & if you don't have enough light, use a flash.Why a Heart of stone? Because even in the midst of all the pebbles and rocks in this world you will always find some that are shaped like a heart! Even in the hardest materials there are hearts...even in the hardest people you will find a human heart.
2. Paint a heart, draw or sketch a heart, color a heart. Be creative.Must be colorful, or just use color, no B&Ws on this one.Remember, You will need to scan or photograph your heart.
Remember what's written in the heart is what matters.
This sketch had me thinking of all sorts of things once I put the windows and door on the heart....Home is where the heart is was one of the others. I haven't sketched anything in a long time. I used to doodle all the time. Hope it was ok to add a little computer color to my ink pen sketch for Part 2.
3. Why Part 3? Not for the entry but just for added fun.... Why yes...I got creative because I discovered Photobucket editing thanks to another blogger named Missy! I experimented with a few things like glitter text, swirls and pop art...here are the results:

Love the hearts.
Wondering why you were questioning my border when I see the exact same one over here?
They look nice.

OMG, Maria, you've been real busy! So glad you did this one, I enjoyed it too & it made me sit & paint for once! I really need to do it more often. I get so much satifaction when I paint, not that I am good, just that I need to create.
I love ALL your creations!!!! Each one has something to say. I always felt that "HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS". Very true when you have a normal stable environment....Ü
Loved the drawing, even the animations! I'll have to check photobucket out...Ü
The heart of stone thoughts are so true~
Thanks for doing so much!!!
Marie
Hi, Missy! I didn't know anything about your border idea until you told me about photobucket..then I spent a couple of hours trying to figure it out on my own. I owe you a lot for your sharing the knowledge because it resulted in this entry! Took me a while to figure out how to change the color from black to red! Thank-you!..so you see Marie, I do owe my entry and learning to Missy and you both!
Interesting photo challenge. I'll have to see what I can come up with. Linda ~no snow here (yet)
Hey Maria. I was a bit confused at first... lol. You're welcome. You did a great job and thanks for stopping by my STILL LIFE entry.

They turned out great !
Maria...sorry for the deleted comment. I accidently called you Missy in the one I deleted. LOL Here's what I SHOULD have said:
Maria, you did a lot of work for this one...but it looks like it was a labor of love. Wonderful entries and very thoughtful words to go with them. Beautifully done!
