DSC #98 - Embellish It Up!

Welcome to Friday here on my blog. It's time for a new challenge at Digitally Sweet Challenges and our theme this week is Embellish It Up. IT leaves alot up to you in its interpretation but I think it means lots of embellishments on your project. Our wonderful sponsor this week is Stitchy Bear Stamp Outlet and they provided some lovely images to play with. I chose a cute little digi girl.


Sorry for the awful photo. It was late when I too the photo and I had to use 2 lights on it but I think there was too much light and it's a bit overexposed. Ah well...I never claimed to be a professional...lol. The card is actually a lovely coral colour but it looks too washed out above. You can check out my supplies list below. Most of the embellies are from my stash though. I hope you will join us over at Digitally Sweet and join in the Challenge. You could win some very cool images!

DSC #97 - Orange Shades

H there...it's Friday and time for a new Digitally Sweet Challenge this week! The DT's mission, if we chose to accept it, was to create with shades of ORANGE. Our sponsor, Limited Runs Stamps, gave use our choice of image to play with and this week I chose a fun Retro Cupcake:


I made this cupcake shaped card for this week's challenge. I resized the cupcake to approximately 15 cm x 15 cm, it's actually a little taller than 15 cm. I printed it off on thin cardstock and cut it out with scissors. I then traced it twice on 300 gsm white card and cut those out as well. I coloured in the cupcake using my trusty ole Copic Ciao markers. On the circles at the bottom of the cupcake wrapper, I used a new product I got the other week. It's from Imagination Crafts and it's called Detail Sparkle in White Shimmer (link to product below in Supplies List.) It's kind of like Stickles but I like it so much better and I'll tell ya why...the glitter is finer, it flows better, the bottle is a bit bigger, AND best of all, it has a very long, thin nozzle with an attached cap. The nozzle is awesome on it and I liked how it flows as well. Defintely check them out!

I glued the printed out cupcake onto one of the thick card ones. On the other plain cupcake, I made a score line across the top so it would fold out the back once glued onto the top edge of the printed out one. While assembling I added a toothpick out the top, it's glued between the front and back of the card. Then I punched 2 circles, stamped a sentiment on one and sandwiched orange ribbon loops between them. I then stuck that on the toothpick. So easy to do.

DSC #96 - Boys at Play

I know I've been gone a few weeks. Well it's been busy around here with work this week but last week my hubby took an unexpected week off from work. He had no appointments so we did a bit of sightseeing. Wee took a few day trips out and about the UK and it was lovely since the weather was so great. IT was warm and sunny all week! That's kind of a miracle here...lol. This week though...UGH...it's back to rain, wind and chill.

But it's Friday and it's time for my DT project for Digitally Sweet Challenges! Our theme this week is BOys at Play and we are sponsored by Lunagirl Images! I chose a nice vintage image and decided to digital scrap it:


I did this in Photoshop. I used the Lunagirl image of the 3 boys plus bits of a freebie digi scrap kit and some vintage clip art images. Then I used a PS Action for the text. This is a simple layout but I really liked the paper and didn't want to cover it all up yet wanted to showcase the boys' image.

SUPPLIES USED:
3 Boys Image - Lunagirl Images
FTU Digital Scrap Kit - "Waiting For..." by Rucola Designs
Bird & Hand Images - Free Vintage Digi Stamps
Gold Text PS Action - ActionFX (no longer online)
