HYBRID CRAFTING

Sorry, I've just edited the creator of the digi kit as I'd credited it to the wrong person originally!
Mix of techniques used to make my SiL's 8x8" birthday card...

Using a digikit from http://www.mymemories.com/store/free_digital_scrapbooking_kits  (SEA MEMORIES)... (wave is from PSE)

Bear on a deckchair (digi image from Di's digi downloads) is blended in digitally ...

Sand dunes, foiliage and lighthouse are hand stamped using Inkylicious (seascapes set)

A hint of colour from alcahol ink pens.

Layered with Kay&Company papers, and finished with shells from our beach trips and hand punched white foliage.

For challenges...

I'VE NOT DONE DIGI SCRAPPING IN AGES

Bought the Serif CraftArtist Platinum as it looked so much easier to use than the PSE I've used in the past.
Two years ago, I took pictures of my eldest grandaughter and the sunflower she was very proud of growing  and have only just got around to playing with them.
This is what I came up with and I do love how easy it is to blend using the program :o)

I thought I'd post those done 5-6 years ago made with PSE.......
Pretty basic and some I hadn't then learned how to use the shadow tool.

Grandaughters Grace and Niamh...

Our stray cat and family that adopted us!...

More of my 2011 Christmas cards.
Some look very same(ish) but there are subtle differences in those that look so...

Many thanks for stopping by ;o)

CLIPART FAIRY at CHRISTMAS

Normally, I like to colour my own images, but.....these are great for a belting card when you're in a hurry...
The images and graphics a brill!!! Real quality ;o)

For the blue card the SHAPE is a freebie as is the SNOWFLAKE PAPER
from   http://theclipartfairy.blogspot.com/ You do NEED to check out the blog for lots of tuts and ideas as well as what's 'new' in!
And it's used with Penguin Christmas in Blue.......
FREEBIE 'WINTER WISHES'  is used on the label.
Finished with Glamour Dust.

SANTA and SNOWEY KIT is used to make my second card.
It was so quick and easy to use!!! But, to be honest...I'd made the label too large (in Photoshop) for my intended square card so it finished up being made into A5, but I still liked the result LOL!

Many thanks for stopping by ;o)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012

Wishing you Peace, Health, Luck and Happiness for 2012!!!
It's been quite a hectic Christmas and New Year for us and the family. And now that we're getting back to a bit of normality (what's normal) LOL!, I thought I'd better post what I've been doing.....

TIDDLEY INKS AND BRENDA PINNICK - SAME BUT DIFFERENT
All are 6"x6"and made for our grandchildren for Christmas 2011...
Backing paper and chipboard pieces are from an enormous Brenda Pinnick Christmas Scrapbook kit bought from QVC ages ago.
The digi stamp images from TIDDLEY INKS are smashing.
For the boys I used Santa's Helper and for the girls I used Christmas Princess
Coloured with a various alcahol ink pens.
And the white fur trims are finished with Glamour Dust.

I'll be back later with more. Thanks for stopping by ;o)
