Shepherd Christmas

Hi Everyone, my card today is for the Outlawz Sketch challenge. I thought it good opportunity to do another Christmas card and searching through my files found -

the image and the sentiment by Create with TLC. 

I followed the sketch in PS and paper pieced his cloak with Shabby Princess paper, 

 then coloured the rest of him, I decoupaged him to bring him to life.

 The background paper is a wonderful serene winter background by Jilbert Designs

I used Cosmic Shimmer Gilding Flakes for the borders.

Added a ribbon with a snowflake die by Die'sire with a spot of Tonic fine glitter.

Retro 90th birthday

Hi Everyone, Yep! another 90th card, this one VERY different to my last post, but I wanted a bit of fun and colour for hubby's cousin. I found this great image and sentiment by Create with TLC and teamed them with a free paper from a magazine. I added the 90th at a jaunty angle, so it, sort of, looked like part of the sentiment.  I coloured the image digitally, printed it all out and layered onto matching card. The insert was done with an image by Elizabeth Dulemba and more sentiments by Create with TLC , it was kept flat for posting. I think it's a happy card and hope she thinks so too.

Here is the end of my walk photos, I hope you've enjoyed my local scenery.

90th birthday card

Hi Everyone, my offering today is a 90th birthday card requested by my SIL for her cousin. She wanted an "old type" card. I found the papers and the digital image by Jilbert Designs, added a sentiment by Create with TLC and her age which I debossed in PS. I print and cut the image on the Cameo and 3D'd it. I also added a Die'sire die behind it, then added a pearl on the flower. It's a flattish card for posting. I'm glad to say she liked it.

Onto page 2 of my walk

Well done!

Hi Everyone, my card today is simple and certainly not what I intended, but I went with it and I like it. LOL It was made for my Great Nephew who had done brilliantly well in his exams. 

I cut the words and the award badge out on the Cameo and drew stitching with the Uniball gold glitter pen, I added some star buttons and it was done.  The words and the award badge element are 3D'd. CAS certainly, but for a teenage boy? I think OK.

I also decided to make a scrapbook page, of part of my recent walk. I have made 3 from this particular walk, so will add to the next 2 posts. hope you enjoy them.

The page was made using a template by Chelle's Creations at Scraporchard.

Framed Christmas card

 Hi Everyone, I have done a Christmas card for the Outlawz Sketch challenge and the Dragons Lair Facebook Christmas in September challenge, for some reason I found this quite difficult, although it should have been easyish!

I cut the gold card frame on the Cameo  and cut the rest by hand. apart from the die cuts. I used red card for a change from the usual white I use. Well! it's a Christmas card LOL. I digitally coloured the insert image.

Thought I would add a couple of images from my walk today. After being sedentary for a few years, I am now making an effort to go walking most days as my blood sugars are not good, AND my flexibility is not good either and after a week of a little action, I already feel better, so onward and upward - hopefully.

 

Cows and a harvest collected

A lane that used to be a road, until it was cordoned off for pedestrians, now nearly grown into a path!

Great news (for me)

Hi Everyone, A little while ago I had an email asking me to contact Morgan's Art World, I wondered what on earth it could be about. Then had the wonderful surprise to be asked to join the DT!!!!!!! I have been a fan for a long while. I am so very thrilled to be on the DT for Morgan Fitzsimmons  I just couldn't turn it down could I, not with art work so wonderful to show off.

My card today, my first as DT, is quite a rare make for me, using KRAFT card, I have made it for the 2nd September challenge which will be for 2 weeks, the theme is "Use Kraft".

 I embossed the card with a Memory Keepers EF. I coloured the image, I would say it is quintessentially English and named "Butterfly Garden" it's so lovely, in PS, then added a PS chalk action around the edge to make it look inked, I placed the image onto some hessian and ribbon then added a butterfly die cut which was a freebie from a magazine. The image and the ribbon are quite bright, but I like it with the subdued kraft colour. The image in available in the shop

I hope you will join me over at Morgan's Art World challenges.

I have used the multi colour Corner Bloom Lights set of papers by our sponsor Lozzy. I had a template of a scrap page by The Heartistic Project. that  suited these papers beautifully, hope you think so too.  All I had to do was clip the papers to the shapes and it was done! I also used a floral PS mask for the extra photo I wanted to add, it's from a set by SweetmadeInc.com
