Well this is how I left my desk last night, a tip needing to be tidied up tomorrow but I did have lots of fun making some cards, if you have time they are further down if not then please comment to let me know you stopped by. I only managed 80 visits last week but I'm hoping to do more this week.
This is a little snowman from Designed to Delight and they run two challenges one that is progressive and a Christmas one on Card Ideas from the D2D designers.This week we were asked to use blue and purple with something that was wintry so this is my effort.
I actually used some real lace to on this version a bit of a novelty for me. This version of the card is for DCD and Daring Cardmakers-Recipe.
This little cutie is from Lili Of The Valley I coloured her with promarkers, inked the edges again and made a little easel card. I inked the flowers too! This card is for a few challenges too:
This one is for the Designed 2 Delight progressive challenge, the lovely Faith will send you a freebie every week just for using her image in a project and posting it on the blog. The hearts has text in there but I removed it digitally and hand wrote mine, I would have added it digitally but I didn't have the papers at the time of printing the image so didn't know what I was going to use it for.
I'm still managing to keep crafting so here are the latest efforts from my desk.
I used a Bazzil Bling template for the letter U but had to do the number myself as I don't have one with numbers on it. I was really pleased with this one it just seemed to fall together and it looks so much redder in real life but it is red I promise not pink.
This is the side of the fridge which forms a very handy place in my space to put the nesties. They are on magnetic sheets the nice thick ones which aren't cheap but you get a few sets from each sheet. Then they are put into the really cheap plastic CD wallets and attached to the fridge.
Here is a close up of the wallets and nesties, as you can see although the set is all there they are not quite as they should be. This is the advantage of having the wallets it doesn't matter too much of they aren't put back quite right. I should point out that my nine year old also uses my stash, (she does have her own but much prefers mine for some reason!) and any storage system needs to be something she will be willing to do.
Well it's been ages since I posted twice in the one week so a good start to the new year, I made this card digitally and then printed it off, I used the Cupcake with Roses as a png, coloured it in Photoshop then added some digi paper and embellishments in Digital Scrapbook Artist. I was really pleased with the overall effect and I feel so much more comfortable using my tablet now.
This is the first entry for some challenges this year and I hope to keep it up this year, I did enjoy the challenges last year but with getting our dog all my crafting time seemed to disappear but making time to craft and take part in the challenges is my New Year resolution.
