Hi everyone, and welcome to the next challenge at Digitally "Sweet" Challenges. Firstly, I must thank those of you who played in our last challenge.

The theme this week .......

JOURNAL TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT

here is my inspiration for you

 
I am so thankful for digital photography and Craft Artist 2 - this is a double page spread. It means I can take as many photos as I like and can hopefully get THE one good one.

Hopefully you can have the same fun too.

The Corrosive Challenge - I've been framed,

Aud Sentiments Challenge #80 Child or Mother and Baby Inspiration


Hi everyone, it's time for some more inspiration for the current challenge at Aud Sentiments.  I hope you are enjoying this challenge which is of course...

 SENTIMENT FOR A BABY/MOTHER AND CHILD.

Our sponsor this fortnight is



A Day for Daisies

and here is my creation


I used a beautiful image called A Gift from the Stars courtesy of our sponsor. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and made it suitable for a boy or girl. I generated the sentiment myself and used a Spellbinders tag die to cut it out. I attached the tag to some ribbon using a glittery brad - I have had these for absolutely ages and find it very hard to use (I like them so much!!). The papers are from a set called Nanas Nursery - baby boy from DCWV.

I would like to enter the following challenges:-

Simply Create Challenge - Anything Goes,

Crafty Catz Challenge - Anything Goes,

Our Creative Corner Challenge - Anything Goes,

Glitter n Sparkle Challenge - Ribbon,

The Crazy Challenge - Baby Card,

Crafts And Me Challenge - use a digi,

Photobucket

Hi everyone, and welcome to the next challenge at Digitally "Sweet" Challenges. Firstly, I must thank those of you who played in our last challenge.

The theme this week is


Pick 5 across or down or diagonally from each corner
(Or if you're feeling particularly extra creative, do a black-out)
BUT REMEMBER TO KEEP IT 100% DIGITAL.

We have a new sponsor this week......... Lacey Sunshine

and she kindly let us choose an image, I have used Fidget Rainbowsnap. I printed her off and coloured her with crayons and then photographed the image to add to my layout. I used Craft Artist Professional V2 and the Cut Out Studio tool.  I have also used the free kit you get when you purchase version 2 - Daydream. I have used the middle line going down for my layout, and here it is.............
 
 
These are some pictures from a trip in Summer of 2011, we went to Wookey Hole and to my surprise found a lot more there than there used to be. After going through the caves we walked past this area which was just like a Fairy grotto - the children loved it although you couldn't play in it.
