Photography & Cameras

Hi Everyone, my DT post today is for
This is a favourite subject of mine as I love taking lots of photos, of anything really, not too good at it, I just enjoy it, so you would think it would have been an easy subject for me. It wasn't! I had so many ideas I found it difficult to choose what to do. In the end I went with an image I have had a long time and played with it digitally. I added a mask, film strips, and used a scrapbook layout and a sentiment I think is so true. It will go to a GNephew who also loves photography. 

image - I had off the web many years ago
scrapbook mask - Indigo Designs
I have added the image below for you to see what a mask does.
film strips - Wishing Well Creations
background paper - Marisa Lerin Pixelscrapper

Wild & Free

Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for
https://themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.com/

I've done a few "wild" kind of cards in my time, so wanted something a little different, I have so many images and digi stamps that a search was necessary and amongst my files I found this wonderful "wild" rabbit, being "free". I thought he deserved a CAS style card for being "free".  The front of the car is 3D, from the card door to the front, so in real life he looks like he is driving out of the card.

My fellow DT have some very imaginative ideas and work, go see and even join in with our challenge.

sentiment - Create with TLC

Forklift Fred!

Hi Everyone, my DT post today is for

Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4 years ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.
This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!
Prize- 2 digital image of choice

Poinsettia

Hi Everyone, my card today is for the Outlawz sketch challenge.  The sketch although seems simple, had me flummoxed, not that it takes much these days. In the end I decided to look through my dies and found this little one, that I had last Christmas, but can't for the life of me remember from where.

Sounds like I am losing myself? the last couple of months I felt like I am, Yep! since my DVT I have been quite unwell and now I have finished the tablets I am starting to feel better. I think I may have had side effects from them, which made me unwell to make me well!

Anyhow enough of the moans, here is my card.

poinsettia die - If anyone knows I can give credit!
dp - ADB Designs
ribbon - stash
Nuvo Crystal Drops
