Manually Dgitised Lace

I finally got on with the next module for my Cert III in Digitising - Module 8 (Creating manually digitised lace). This is very time consuming & hard on the eyes & neck as each stitch for the mesh part of the lace has to be created individually. But I finally finished it ready for assessment. I had made lots of notes ready to answer the theory side of the assessment and scanned front and back images of the sewn piece ready to upload to the College Website only to find they have disabled the upload area.
Not happy at all. Must investigate further.

St Patrick's Day ATC's

Over at Artistic Document we are having a St Patrick's Day ATC swap. This is my effort. The pictures are from a Google search. I have used KindyGlitz to add some sparkle and cut the sun using Carl CP1 sun punch.

Cuttlebug Cards

Today I went to a class at the local scrapbook shop and learned a few more techniques to use with the Cuttlebug. We made three lovely cards using embossing folders and butterfly die cuts.

March Challenges

I have been busy the last couple of days working on the challenges for the month from Artistic Document.


The sketch challenge for this month was set by our fabulous DT member, Kym. I had fun with this one as I was able to utilise some of the photos from our trip to the Grand Canyon last September. I have used Creative Memories Travel paper for the background, strips and photo mats. The bird and other embellishments are from the Kaiser Peachy Keen collection while the journalling block is from the Kaiser Road Trip collection.


The colour challenge (also set by Kym) was to work with Cream & Black so this is my layout. I used Anna Griffin floral patterned paper. The flowers are by Prima. I also used some cream ricrac braid.








This challenge was set by our wonderful DT member and fearless leader, Marie. We had to use tone-on-tone cardstock and a slightly darker toned cardstock. Embellishments could only be punched for this challenge. We also had to use a stamped image and colour it using the colours from the photo.

Magical Musical Tour - SALSA

The Magical Musical Tour has begun over at Artistic Document. The first challenge was 'the SALSA' The criteria were bright colours, paint, ruffled ribbon/paper and glitz. This is my take on the challenge.
I painted the chipboard letters then used Fire Cracker Red Glitter & Jewelled Gold Transparent embossing powder to give them some sparkle. The frangipani flowers (courtesy of Scrapbook Flair) were printed on card, cut out & then embossed with Jewelled Gold and a Kaiser Rhinestone placed in the centre. The Chippie tag was painted & decorated. I used yellow material to create the ruffle.
