Digitally Sweet - Colour Challenge.

Hello All,

and welcome to my Scrapbooking Blog.

My post today is my entry for the new challenge at the Digitally Sweet challenge and it is a digital scrap-page. I am getting back into the swing of things 'craftwise' and this is my first scrapbook challenge entry for quite a while. So here goes.

Using the collage below for inspiration, entrants are asked to create their colour interpretation for the challenge. I quite like the vibrtant colours and the combination works well. Lots of inspiration here.

So on to the scrapbook page.

Let me introduce you to Curtis. So keen was he to arrrive on Planet Earth, he arrived way ahead of schedule, creating quite a lot of excitement and concern at the same time. Curtis kept is nearest and very dearest on edge for some time but fought his way through and continues to thrive and grow. to the delight of all.

Jenna and Curtis

I love this photo of Curtis and his mum Jenna. A happy and content baby and a loving, doting mum: Just Fabulous!

The page was made using a combination of some digital kits (freebies) that I am trying to find the names for. As soon as I relocate the information I will update the blog.

Thank you for stopping by to read and comment on my blog. Your time is appreciated and your coments most welcome.

In the Kitchen- Stamping Dragon - New Challenge

Hell and welcome to my scrapbooking Blog.

My post today is my digital DT scrap-page for the new challenge starting today over at the Stamping Dragon Challenge Blog with the theme 'In the Kitchen'. Stamping Dragon are also our sponsors and there is voucher to spend in the online store for the winner of this challenge.

The featured pack for this DT project is the Mustard Seed paper pack from Stamping Dragon. I have also used the digital stamps Baking One to add some embellishments to the layout.

Mustard Seed Paper Pack

I chose to use a photo of my lovely husband making the Christmas Pudding with the title 'Man at Work'. What you are seeing here is the cropped version as the kitchen was in such a state during and after this creative baking session, I couldn't let the public see it ! It was all very industrial for a bit, lots of debris and lots of clean up. But it was worth it. Between you and me the pudding was delicious! I might let hubby have another go next time.

Man at Work!

I liked the traditional feel of the patterned papers and made my base from the most masculine (I thought) from the pack. I used my Clipping Mask to make the scalloped border which helps to anchor the photo and elements to the bottom of the page.

I then made a template for a Tag and matched it in colour with the backing paper, using my Photoshop paint-pot to add the colour. The Mixing Bowl, Spoon and Roller were digitally coloured as were the eggs.

I am please , and so is hubby, with the result. And now it's your turn. Pop over to the challenge blog and be inspired by the DT's creations. Whether it is a card or scrap-page, join in the fun with us. And you never know you might be a winner!

New Year- New Start - New Challenge

Hello All,

Happy New Year 2014 and welcome back to my Scrapbooking Blog. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that you an yours are fit and well and happy in 2014.

Gosh I don't know where the time went!
I can'believe it is 2014 already!!! A new house, a new job, Christmas...it all went by in a blur this last few months and now it is time to kick start the mojo and get on with the show :-)

I'm not really a New Year Resolution kind of person, but I made myself a promise that I would not neglect my crafting ( it's the only thing that keeps me sane at times) and to step up efforts to improve the existing skills and learn some new ones. I slao promised that I would not buy any new kit until I'd taken stock of what I already had.....let's see how long that one lasts.

I've started my Crafting New Year with my DT project for the Stamping Dragon Designs first challenge of the New Year ' Anything Goes'

Our new location has some wonderful views, interesting wildlife and some nosey cows ( the mooing kind) and we came across these chaps on one of our walks. We had no treats for them but my husband remembered the dog biscuits in his pocket. Finn the spaniel was not impressed at us giving his treasured treats away to complete strangers!

Meet the Neighbours

My digital page was created using the Terracotta Delight digi Kit. All the backing papers and elements are beautifully coordinated and the mix of soft pastels and strong earthy terracotta blend really well.

The Stamping Dragon Challenge starts today 10th of January and is sponsored by Stamping Dragon and the winning entry get a voucher to spend in the online store.

Make sure your entry meets with the challenge rules and link it back to the challenge blog. Don't forget to check out the blog and the Facebook page to see what the DT has created as inspiration for your projects.

Go get cracking and I am looking forward to seeing what you crafty peeps can come up with in this the 1st challenge of the New Year.
