We DT had a collage sheet to play with from Lunagirl, I chose the lady in white walking in the garden and decided to do something different with it. I multi layered it and added a vintage sentiment I had from the web, I also added a distressed layer to the background layer and bevelled and embossed effect to the middle layer, I wanted each layer to have it's own identity. The font I used is an old one too, it's Santa's Sleighfull.

I chose to add 2 more images from the sheet then added embellishments to enhance it. I think it gives a soft romantic feel, hope you feel the same.

This will be a quick card, ready to print and send.

I have never been into Vintage, but since working with Lunagirl, I LOVE the challenge of seeing what I can do with her images. I particularly like the vintage ladies and that is what I have used here, isn't she beautiful. I also used Lunagirl's  Robin, but, changed the background colour to match the other picture. 
I've made a tag, again something quite new to me and just added elements until I thought it enough! (for me). 
All designed in Photoshop with added blending options i.e shadows. I also made the background paper, with an overlay which I bevel and embossed and faded.

I chose this beautiful image to play with this week and she cried out to be framed with roses and other florals and leaves. The lace adds feminity I feel. She seems to be reflecting a little, rather than posing, what do you think?  The sentiment is because I see her reflecting. I have to admit I'm really pleased with this and the colours.

Christmas -
using non traditional colours

sponsored by  Lunagirl

Hi Everyone, my offering today is something that I would not normally do, however this is a challenge right? and in the end I am quite happy I had this challenge to do, as it made me think of the true meaning of Christmas and it doesn't matter what colour is traditional as long as the message gets across. So here is my offering, I used a few blending options, brushes and layers and effects in PS to get the effect near enough to what I envisaged. (I really have a lot of learning to do in PS).

DSC # 111 Steampunk

It's time for a new challenge at

 Digitally Sweet Challenges

the Theme is 

Steampunk

sponsored by  Lunagirl

Hi Everyone, our challenge this week is completely out of my comfort zone, so much so that I had to find out what "Steampunk" meant, yes of course I have seen it around and greatly admired what had been achieved,  I didn't understand it, but that is what a challenge is isn't it? 

Anyhow, this is my offering and I have to apologise for my efforts. I did what I think it means. Science fiction with Victorian tendencies.  I think!  Perhaps someone could correct me, if I am wrong.

I have used Luna girl steam punk numbers 1,2,3,8,9,10,11, and Stitchy bear sailship and paper numbers 1,2,3,4.  

I placed the images into the surreal world of Steampunk, imagining that the ship was going up into the new world through the frame, which is a PS Brush by Elbereth-de-Lioncourt and the man was asking the lady with the bike to fly off with him, he already is halfway there with the flight! shapes on his feet.  The clock represents time she doesn't have to go with him.  The balloon leaflet is hanging from the frame, again in the surreal world.  I used a few PS masks, blending options, overlays etc, I won't bore you with the the how to's.  I may go back to this and play more when I have time, I think there is so much more than could be done. I'll blog it when I do.

This was hard work, but when I got into it I quite liked the surreal world, where imagination can be set free outside the norm.

I have made my "page" today with several images from Lunagirl, mostly because I couldn't make my mind up what I wanted to use, as they are all gorgeousness in themselves.

I have tried to do a "proper" digital make up, by making the cake and plate with PS shapes, digi paper and elements, with Lunagirl images leaning on it and pictures for the "wall" and a label for the cake. 

I also made the text into "chocolate" style with some playing in PS. I got the quote from the web. I also did a light effect! 

I'm not sure I got away with the cake and plate, but it's a start!

Boys at play

Hi Everyone, for my DT project today, I decided to do something a little different as I thought this little chap rubbing head was just right for a card front. I suppose it could have been a forgotten birthday, but he did remind me of my baby brother when we were younger, not that he is that old of course LOL.  I added lots of embellishments and even added a curl to the page, all in Photoshop.

 Embellies are Sheila Reid's kits at Pixelscrapper.  I added the fairy, so that hopefully, she will help him remember that he left the bike at the lamp post down the street :)  AND she lives under the mushroom.

My DT image is 5friends by Lunagirl aren't they so cute, reminds me of photos of when my Mum was young, OK! that shows my age! 

Something different for me, I did think I would go with a funny again, but thought I should be sensible for a change - moir? yep me!

Hello

Hi Everyone,

I have had the last day of my working life, yes I have retired! It has been a hard few of weeks for me, as I had to train a young man to take over from me, but only had 5 working days to teach him 14 years experience of the job. I don't envy the poor guy, he even told me he had gone to bed early as he was tired out! He's 26. I am finding it more difficult than I ever thought it would be.  Can't believe I've been a bit down about it too.

Oh! well here are a couple of cards for you, that made me smile, hope they make you smile too.

Mothers

sponsored by  Lunergirl

For my DT, I produced them as one card in Photoshop and changed the sentiments as you can see, because I couldn't make up my mind which to use, I also did 2 interiors.  I used this sketch to follow.  

Do you know a Mother like these?  I do LOL.

The image is from Lunagirl The pink paper is Vintage pink & brown by BGazaraek the stripe paper is by Pixelberry, the half circle is cardboard by Snickerdoodles, the beaded ribbon is by A Sailors, on my printed cards I layered the shape and banner and I added Glamour dust to the seated lady.  Here are the printed cards.

This is the interior of one, the "Time to Dance" card" has "...and Celebrate You"

The sentiments come from Gingers House.
