Bah! Humbug! Day

Yeah we're still filling our boxes with cards ready for the Christmas Season over at Humbug Hall and this week sees us 'Bringing on the Girls'. 

Another quick card from me this week as I have so many scrapbook projects on the go that I'm not wanting to break off to do cards at the moment.  My 'Bring on the Girls' card was made using papers and an image from a magazine freebie some time ago.  I've mounted it very simply, added some embossed snowflake triangles and tons of glitter.  The girl so reminds me of Becky from the Shopaholic books.

As I've started joining in the challenges at Jules Crafty Snippet Challenge I used all the tiny bits that were left including the leftover strip of embossed snowflakes to make a tag. So proud to say that the bits going in the bin today are so tiny that they would only make cards for 'The Borrowers'.

My card and tag is also for the challenges at...

• Divas by Design - Christmas in August
• Clear it out - Glitter it (paper and image from very old mag)

Have a fun weekend all and do pop over to Bah! Humbug! to check out the superb creations by my buddies.

The Future is Mine...

Well I've had another go at the sketch at Sassy Sketches...

 

 

I was determined to use that cloud idea and seeing as Eli was with me over the weekend I had chance to take some photos.  Annoyingly some have not worked due to using a setting on the camera that sounded good, but in reality produced fuzzy pics.  Not to worry the ones I took on the normal setting have worked fine. 

My whole page was created using Serif Craft Artist.  That programme is so much fun.  I find myself playing for hours with all the different effects.  The page is 12" by 12" and I will be saving it until I have done a few and then I will send it to be developed at  DS Colour Labs who were recommended on the Daisytrail forum.  I had my first pages printed there last week and the results were fantastic. Great service too with packaging that meant that the prints couldn't possibly get damaged in the post.

My page is also for the challenges at...

•  Incy Wincy Designs - anything but a card

Here's the facing page that's hot of the press.  Same programme of course and I've used some elements from the first page to tie the two together.
Hope you like them.

Have a fabulous evening everyone.

Kos Harbour...

More real scrapbooking.  I'm totally obcessed with scrapbooking at the moment.  I must get round to doing some birthday cards this next week or I will be loosing some friends and that would never do.  This page was inspired by the sketch at Sassy Sketches.  My version is lacking the fab clouds that were on the original, but my excuse is that there were no clouds in Kos just beautiful clear blue skies.  Sigh wish I was back there!

To team my page with the one facing it I had to use some of the stripey designer paper and seeing as I only had tiny scraps left it could have been a problem.  I did think about doing some paper weaving, but then hit on the idea of the patchwork effect which even meant that I could save paper by not using any where the photos were going to be placed.  Clever eh?  Jules at Jules Crafty Snippets Challenge will be so proud of me.

My page is also for the challenges at...

• Paper Crafting Journey - Anything Goes
• For Fun Challenges - a Scrap Page

Have a great weekend everyone.  Eli is coming to stay so as you can imagine I'm so excited.  Wonder if he's ready to do some crafting yet - no 10 weeks might be a bit early - maybe next time he stays.  LOL.
