Digi Choosday - Anything Goes

Hi all

Well, the weeks are whizzing by arent' they?

Before you know it ................ the Summer will be over!!

Ha ha - got you there didn't I? Lol

You thought I was going to mention the C word didn't you? 

Oh no, no siree, not me!! (Well not just yet anyway)

So, time for a new challenge over at Digi Choosday.

Remember all our challenges are always 

ANYTHING GOES

So the world, as they say, is your oyster!!

Now the DT were given the task of making something for someone starting a new job!

I instantly knew what I was going to do for that.

Out with my trusty Cameo to cut out the base and here it is:

A lovely new post it note holder for a new desk.

Well, I don't know about you but I am a note taker when it comes to something new.

Ok, it might not look pretty but my computer is covered in post it notes with little snippets of information that will make life easier.

But who wants a boring post it note pad?  Why not make it look pretty too?

So that's what I did.

The papers used on the main piece are printed from a download called Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Paper Heaven 1 and I just loved the soft colours.

Then I printed out some lovely flowers from the Horace & Boo Foliage collection.

I painstakingly cut out three of them and made three gorgeous flowers which I secured with a glittery green brad and then added them to the Post It Note holder.  I also added a leaf from the same downloadable foliage collection.  I can see me using these quite a lot!!

I added a bit of contrasting twine and two little banner pieces to which I added a couple of little pearl bows.

Just add a pad of post it notes, pens and pencils etc and there you have it.

Can't wait to see what you all come up with.

Don't forget there is always a discount coupon on the day the new challenge starts which will save you a huge 25% on selected digi images.

Digi Choosday - A Happy Birthday Card

Hello everyone

Time once again for another fabulous challenge over at Digi Choosday.

Remember, very Tuesday when we launch a new challenge, you also get the opportunity to use a fabulous discount code on selected downloadable products. How cool is that?

So on to our new challenge.  

As usual our challenge is:

ANYTHING GOES

So, the world, as they say, is your oyster!

For my project this week I have made an envelope card.

I have used Ruby Gift which I have coloured with my Polychromo pencils.

I made the envelope card on my Silhouette Cameo.  It saves so much time with the cutting out.

I printed off one of the fabulous Distress Ink Papers (plain) to add to the card.

I love these papers because they are made to match up with the Tim Holtz Distress Inks.  Obviously the colours will vary depending on your printer but in essence, they won't be too far out and I love them.

I printed out a sentiment from the Winnie Celebrations Sentiment pack 1 on to the same Distress Ink Paper and added it to the inside of the card.

I then printed one of the other sentiments from the same pack to add to the main picture on the card.

I think I may have to get the other two Sentiment packs because there are sooooo many fabulous sentiments in them which probably cover virtually every occasion - even the ones we don't really want to think about.

I added a couple of small embellishments to the front of the envelope card too, I have had these in my stash for ages - I mean, don't we all?  Lol

I used some Pan Pastel to add some interest so that it didn't look too stark.

So I added some funky ribbon as a fastener for the card - neat eh?

It will actually stand up but it is a bit wobbly, lol.

I will add a Gift Token or £20 note to the inside as I really don't know what to buy the recipient for their birthday.

To be honest, as a kid, I always wanted money so I could buy what I wanted but it never seemed to work out that way! Lol.

Colour Crazy Craft Challenge - Week 26

Hi all

Here I am again with my project for Team Ds week to host.

This week our sponsor is the wonderful,

SHEEPSKI DESIGNS

Now we were given two images to choose from this week and once I saw them I knew I was going to use them both.

So I have used:

Perfect Pointe

together with:

Tulip Border Image

I printed out a background image and added the two digital images to the background.

The tulip border image is replicated three times to fill the bottom border of the picture.

I also reduced it in size so that the dancer looked like she was dancing through the tulips.

Then I added the sentiment, again done in Craft Artist,  which I think sums it up perfectly.

Once again all the colouring is done with my Polychromo Pencils.

I backed the image on to a Distress Oxide background that I made myself. (Get me eh!! Lol).

I will add a fitting sentiment to the inside once I know when I am going to use it.

So, there you have my little bit of inspiration for this week.

Don't be afraid to merge images this way as it can produce some fabulous results.

Remember please that we must see some hand colouring on your creation.  We do not accept digitally coloured images I'm afraid.

Have fun peeps.
