REMEMBER

I have made this card in honour of Remembrance Day. My father stills goes out selling Poppies - Bless him. Not so sure about this year though as he has only just moved into sheltered accomodation as he is getting a bit fragile now :-)
Anyway, I have made this card using a photo from the 'Web' and the image is by Ellephantastic and is a freebie for Round 6 of the CDAC Progressive Challenge, where I shall be entering this. The poppies are from my Hannah Hay 'Poppies & Daisies' CD. I have decoupaged the Bear and the poppies for added depth :-)

Challenges I am entering :

Simon Says Stamp - Photo Inspiration Poppy Field

Cute Card Thursday - Reds for Remembrance



SIMPLY CREATE CHALLENGE

Good Morning,
This time over at Simply Create the theme is 'Love You Beary Much'. The Team have made some beautiful creations, so why not pop over, have a look and join in :-)

I have made two cards this time because I couldn't decide which one to use.... I love bears and have sooooo many images.
My first one uses a kit from Crafty Gals and is a 5 layer decoupage.

My second one is completely digital and uses papers and elements from Daisy Doodles and the cute little bear is from GTC's Crafty Corner.

DELICIOUS DOODLES CHALLENGE 6 - REMEMBRANCE

Hello Peeps,
Our Challenge this week at Delicious Doodles is Remembrance. Now, it is Poppy Day this Sunday so I have chosen to go with that theme, but you could use Sympathy or just the fact you remembered someone's Birthday or Anniversary.
My main image is Poppies from Delicious Doodles, with barbed wire and sentiment plate made by me. The wording is from Wilfred Owen's - 'Dulce et Decorum est' - the best known First World War poem. A truly heartrending piece.

SNEAKY PEEKY

Hello Peeps,
I wanted to show this as I have just finished my second Mini Album for a swap over at CDAC. This one is for a Secret Partner Swap though..... I know who mine is for, but don't know who's doing one for me ..... I'm excited, but let's hope I have better luck with this one and actually get something back !!!
This is just a little sneaky peek at one page 'cos I want to use this for the CDAC Progressive Challenge Round 6 - we were given this digi image by Designed2Delight and I luv him :-)

I can't say anything else .... tee hee  :-D
Back later with something else.

SMEARED INK DT PROJECT - ALTER SOMETHING

Hello Peeps,
This week's project over at Smudgy Antics is to alter something. Now I'm not very good at this 'cos I can never think of anything good to do. Anyways, I tried with this candle.  Now our quest as usual is to make the project using images from Smeared Ink. I just LOVE the Heart Wings Set, but I sometimes sit there with them going "Ho Hum,... what shall I actually DO with these??!!" I coloured up the 'Cracked Heart' image and cut out several of them. My candle is from the local shop. One good thing about Greece is that these big candles are cheap !!. I have 'drawn' flowers on it with that fake lead paste stuff you get in a tube, and coloured some of them black. Then I stuck my Cracked Heart images in the spaces. I don't think it came up too bad !! I posed it with some material and fake orchids I bought a while back, so it looks a bit posher now !!! :-)  I think I'm waiting for my Mojo to come back a bit as well, after our 31 Days of Halloween marathon. !!! Hopefully, I will be fully functioning soon LoL   xxxxx

When I did this I was soooo not satisfied so I did this as well.....

I snarfed about in the garage and found some beech ply and cut a key ring fob. The little owl is 'Calamity' from Smeared Ink. I Pyrographed him into the wood and then coloured him with inks. Couple of coats of varnish and Voila !!   I really miss the smell of burning wood and was glad to get the old Pyro out again and play. Sorry my smudgy grunge background didn't come out so good though !!!!

SMEARED & SMUDGED FORUM 'ROCK N ROLLA' CHALLENGE

Hello Peeps,

I've had this basic image idea for 'SheMan' for about a week or so now. For him I was inspired by the Rocky Horror Show :-) - and I got him finally done today. It's a pity you can't see close up of his red fishnet stockings bwaahahahahaha.

His female partner is 'FemDom' from the fabulous Smeared Ink and everything on her was coloured and produced digitally.

I was totally inspired by the Rock n Rolla Challenge over at Smeared Ink. There is a video there for a song called  Danger! High Voltage by Electric Six, which is hysterical,  and I just HAD to sit here this evening and do this.............

CDAC PROGRESSIVE CHALLENGE .... ROUND 6

Hello again Peeps,
He we are with my first entry for the CDAC Progressive Freebie Challenge Round 6. The theme for this one is "Winter Wonders" and I have used Winter Bear by Designed 2 Delight as my main image. I coloured him digitally and then cut him out and stuck him to my background paper with silicone to raise him a little. His dream is made with an image by TLC Creations and I have coloured that digitally as well.  The backing paper and elements are from a digital scrapbook kit called 'Christmas Card' but I don't know who it is by.  :-(
