Sunset at Zia...

Watched a little of the Serif Photo Projects set on Create and Craft this morning and was tempted to buy.  Silly me then realised that I already had some of the kits they were advertising!  While watching I spotted a fabulous frame to use with scenic photos.  I played around with it this afternoon and created this page.

The photo was taken in the village of Zia near Kos town.  A very popular place for sitting in a rooftop restaurants or bars watching the sunset. 

Challenges...

• Come and Get It Challenges - Anything but a card 

 Hmmmmmmmmm after a good nights sleep I decided to play around a little more so here comes version two!  So easy to change things in digital scrapping.

 Think version 2 will be the one that gets printed.  What do you think?

Bestest Buddy's Birthday...

Busy working at the moment, but decided to show a card I made for a really good buddie a little while back.  A really simple 8" x 8" design - it had to be as at the time I needed the card I was meeting myself coming back with work and other commitments too.  

Materials used...

• pearlescent ice gold cream card 
• gold mirri card
• cream organza ribbon
• Happy Birthday sentiment peel off plus corners and borders
• Memory Box dies (thank you Max I just love these two)

Challenges...

• Sir Stampalot - Happy Birthday
• Joanna Sheen - Someone Special (card was for a special friend)

Have a good weekend all.  I'm working yet again - this is getting boring, but will be popping online from time to time. 

Whoops almost forget to add that the card featured below is one made to send to the same special friend.  Eli's not quite big enough yet to share in crafting fun (another couple of months and we'll be fine - got the ELC paints at the ready) so I used Serif Craft Artist to make a photo type card.  Just a bit of fun, but I know Max really liked it.

Again have fun everyone.  Hope you manage to get lots of crafting time.

Top Three Award...

Wow how honoured am I?  Just found out that my card was chosen as one of the top three at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  Love their sketches as they are just so easy to get creative with and to be picked out like this has really made my day.
Thank you team.
You can see the card they picked out in this post here.
Gotta go in to work today, but I'll be playing along with this week's sketch as soon as I can.
Have a good week everyone.
