<br />
So hee is my 1st layout for this weeks team reveal at E-scape and Scrap. The brief was Borders so I have added loads of border, I hope you like it. Kit Used <a href="https://www.e-scapeandscrap.net/boutique/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_211&products_id=6157#.U4swXPldWDx" target="_blank">Algera Designs Textured Love kit</a> , Its great it has loads of ace metal elements and I think the staples enlarged worked really well as rails.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I started this layout with the same basic border idea , Using papers on angle to create a border, but I didn't want the rigid regimented feel of On the Rails. So they are all a little of kilter . I then added layers of embellishments to create an extravagant lush feel . Kit used the very<a href="https://www.e-scapeandscrap.net/boutique/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_242&products_id=9519#.U4sxevldWDx" target="_blank"> Beautiful Old Roses by Celinoa's Designs.</a><br />

The challenge this week was to create with the theme rainbow. Either use rainbows or rinbow colours.<br />
<br />
Here is my 1st layout<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I love this pic of my grandson. The rainbow theme made me think of Rainbow Brite and I thought I could turn him into a rainbow brite by giving him multi coloured wings . I also wanted to create a rainbow .<br />
The kits I used for both my layouts were <a href="https://www.e-scapeandscrap.net/boutique/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_225&products_id=7800" target="_blank">Coat of Many Colours</a> by BH Designs , <span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.e-scapeandscrap.net/boutique/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_121&products_id=3548&zenid=685b579198525b0e8ff96c73e6c2546c" target="_blank">Hats Off to Autumn: Doilies and Circle Stitches</a> by Julie Mead Designs and <a href="https://www.e-scapeandscrap.net/boutique/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_121&products_id=1490" target="_blank">Julies Painted wings</a> by Julie Mead designs</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">I used Coat of many colours kit and the wings kit or this layout. <i> I </i>made all the flowers and butterfies from the wings kit and used the paper and stitches from the Coat of many colours kit.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">I got thinking about what else I could do just using the wings kit and nothing else . I allowed myself to colour, straight cut and stretch the wings. I allowed myself one font and a couple of lines of the pen tool.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Here is the layout </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">The sky is the blue wing stretched until it was big enough to look like sky. I think I may have made it slightly more transparent, The hills and the leaves were made withe the same wings. The clouds were made wih multi layered transparent wings </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">The butterflys by cutting the wings in half,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The tree trunk and branches were made by stretching and squeezing the same wing that made the sun ,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The bird was made with two sets of the same wing using all of it for the wings and cutting it apart or the tail. The head was cut from the sun wings. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">I have a small free bee paper for you today I adore Kalidascopes so I hope you like this paper too</span><br />

<br />
Its my 1st team reveal at e-scapeandscrap.net and the brief was to use themed kits and embellishments. As soon as I saw the brief I knew I just had to scrap last weekends trip out with my grandson where I caught a great shot of him with an owl, and some nice shots of the owl on its own.<br />
<br />
So here are the two layouts that I have done<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I loved the Owl on the 1st layout as it sort of looks like its glancing lovingly at something. It goes so well with the picture. It is an embellishment, but I decided I wanted it as a frame. I think it works well. The second layout I colour changed the owl and faded it into the background as I wanted something a bit more subtle. I loved the arty paint clusters in the kit and I will be using them in many more projects. The s on the who is an edit of the kit.</div>

<br />
Its been a while. Have been ill for a while and then had a hectic last couple of months catching up with life in general.<br />
<br />
But now I am back and hope to be giving away some free papers very soon in the meanwhile. I am now on the Creative team for <a href="http://e-scapeandscrap.net/">e-scapeandscrap.net</a> . I love all their designers and am so excited to be working with them.<br />
<br />
I have created a couple of layouts to start<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The 1st is of my grandson reading one of his Christmas presents. He really enjoys books and I love giving him books as I love reading myself and love the magic of reading and adore sharing it with JAKE<br />
Kit used is <a href="https://www.e-scapeandscrap.net/boutique/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_211&products_id=6077" target="_blank">A woodland Winter add on Kit by Algera Designs avalable HERE</a> I love Algera Designs and more of her kits are avalable from <a href="http://e-scapeandscrap.net/">e-scapeandscrap.net</a><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">So to my INSPIRATION POST (which is quite long but I hope you will bear with me)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">PHOTO LESS LAYOUTS</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We all fall into a rut now and again , and don't break out of the box of what is normal or expected. Photos are the usual basic starting point for a layout, or sometimes we will take photos to match a specific paper (who isn't guilty of that). But how often do we actually make layouts with no traditional photos.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Either having absolutely no photos or using your photos in a completely different way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">My 1st 2 examples are paper layouts , they were made to explain complicated feelings or stories. The 1st is a layout about My daughters and my story, its a complicated story and a story that was and is a huge part of our lives. There are bits that are really sad, and you could say horrific, how could I do scrapbooks of our lives and not tell the story.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">How do I tell the story without it being graphic and upsetting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Here is my solution,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg45LfmezXLZ8kHbgbQCY5EYtTYvjvKGYdeeeRNBnMfx7Z5X8l_O0aSWbvaiuiBryA0YTh7vJbVhS0qbIB8Z9L0F4A_kKGASk273E_s45cD92PZvUkI4wPlL5scNnPkD3KkP5HiNaCJEz4/s1600/Tale+of+the+Sad+queen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg45LfmezXLZ8kHbgbQCY5EYtTYvjvKGYdeeeRNBnMfx7Z5X8l_O0aSWbvaiuiBryA0YTh7vJbVhS0qbIB8Z9L0F4A_kKGASk273E_s45cD92PZvUkI4wPlL5scNnPkD3KkP5HiNaCJEz4/s320/Tale+of+the+Sad+queen.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo frontpage.jpg" data-link="id{:placeHolderId}" height="281" id="placeHolder_0" src="http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/rattytattty/frontpage.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo Page12.jpg" data-link="id{:placeHolderId}" height="452" id="placeHolder_0" src="http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/rattytattty/Page12.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<br />
<img alt=" photo page34.jpg" data-link="id{:placeHolderId}" height="451" id="placeHolder_0" src="http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/rattytattty/page34.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<img alt=" photo page56.jpg" data-link="id{:placeHolderId}" height="455" id="placeHolder_0" src="http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/rattytattty/page56.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<img alt=" photo Page78.jpg" data-link="id{:placeHolderId}" height="453" id="placeHolder_0" src="http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/rattytattty/Page78.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<img alt=" photo Theend.jpg" data-link="id{:placeHolderId}" height="400" id="placeHolder_0" src="http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/rattytattty/Theend.jpg" width="281" /><br />
<br />
So that was my 1st photo less layout and it made me realise that Scrapbooking should not just be about the fantastic things in our lives, its about our lives.<br />
<br />
My second example of a photoless layout again was to record something complicated. At the time the man my daughter was with the very very wrong for her, he had caused trouble between us. I found out she was going to marry him in the August and I wasn't to be invited because he didn't want me there. This layout was about my feelings about all of that<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg__IQ46sh-R0pXrqStX3vAKyMEjZtGQoQtyZTPc_umvnQ2WoXCYi9xNcwSbpxE9aziTmtWDzi2Hz0fq7f3BemyHgE5W3EDCI77zpEsWpPikkMK25JZGZeaKY2JW_jgr5VRfiyRIjsTc8Q/s1600/Autumn+wedding.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg__IQ46sh-R0pXrqStX3vAKyMEjZtGQoQtyZTPc_umvnQ2WoXCYi9xNcwSbpxE9aziTmtWDzi2Hz0fq7f3BemyHgE5W3EDCI77zpEsWpPikkMK25JZGZeaKY2JW_jgr5VRfiyRIjsTc8Q/s320/Autumn+wedding.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The gold panels are metal that I have embossed in the same way that I did in my last <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/content/blog/from-digital-to-metal-plaque/" target="_blank">Hybrid tutorial on Design House Digital </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fortunately the wedding did not go ahead, the man is no longer in my daughters life and our relationship is now amazingly strong. My daughter has seen and read this layout and it made it so easy for me to explain how I felt at the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My next layout has no traditional photo. I did use a photo to create a digital stencil or mask, and this time its a happy happy layout</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this is my Knight in shining armour, and he truly truly is. The "I'll love you" quote and all the papers used are from the May house party kits , the layout also features one of my pieces of wordart from my freebee word art kit</div>

<div>
Well I'm hosting the <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/content/?p=16007" target="_blank">Design House Digital 4 Play </a>challenge today. Available Uk 24 hour clock 12.00 and USS 6.00. You can buy all 4 of the kits I used for the grand total of $3.00 on the 22nd April Only </div>
<div>
I had to pick 4 kits from DHD to play with, well thats a really hard job as there are loads of great kits to play with. </div>

I picked some lovely Mattes by Vanessa Fenton and some amazing papers by Mary Moseley to start with as they were both kits I love and had already decided I wanted to use, but I decided to challenge myself and pick a template as I hardly ever use one. The one I chose is by Tisha Chestnut and I think it offers loads of scope for playing with. The last kit I chose was by Kristin Damon and has some stitches in that I really liked and papers and a journalling block that I thought would work well with my other choices. I avoided picking embellishment kits as I tend to use a lot of embellishments.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway here is the layout that I made from the kits. Couldn't help myself and cut out one of the flowers from the background paper to make the flower embellishments, </div>

I write the odd poem and read loads and loads. I am dyslexic and was unfortunate to change areas at a key stage in a childs reading ability. I could read fairly well early, however I went from one area to another and they used phonics and made me start again. I didn;t really manage to read fluently again till I was 11 . I went to secondry school and we did the 1st world war in history and I read some of the war poets poems and that was it . I was moved and inspired by the sheer depth of feeling they could inspire with so few words. If you haven't come across their poetry you should take a look. Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen both died in the war and I have represented this by changing the center of their poppys to the watch face to represent their running out of time.<br />
<br />
So here is my layout<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So here are a couple of projects that I have played with over the last few days.<br />
<br />
1st is a slider card that I have made for a tutorial on the <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/content/" target="_blank">Design House Digital Blog</a> I hope you like it<br />

<br />
I love these sliders they are great for cards and also a great way to hide journalling.

<br />
At the weekend My husband daughter and grandson Oh and me too went to Catalyst Science Museum in Widnes. We had a lovely time. Whilst there my grandson had a lolly and I just had to do a layout as soon as I came home.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbw1ci-DduX0TzfnVsH9XwIURnCIt0pEhpP-hLyLIDIYT-XpCW5d9Nly494j-7p7wRd2DVo_G7ZIC1cK5Dg-9AvDzXuvMLfW2FeIEVzJo-cQVyDTGggj5-mJ7Nd-fipwh7r4-B8wDTuk0/s1600/Going+going+gone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbw1ci-DduX0TzfnVsH9XwIURnCIt0pEhpP-hLyLIDIYT-XpCW5d9Nly494j-7p7wRd2DVo_G7ZIC1cK5Dg-9AvDzXuvMLfW2FeIEVzJo-cQVyDTGggj5-mJ7Nd-fipwh7r4-B8wDTuk0/s320/Going+going+gone.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I used 4 kits from Design House digital they are <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/jen-allyson/noted-doodle-stamps" target="_blank">Noted doodle stamps</a> I love these stamps they are so useful and great for all sorts of layouts. I used <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/jen-allyson/vanity-fair-grunge-squares" target="_blank">Vanity Fair Grunge squares</a> on either side of the layout, these are so adaptable. The papers used were from <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/digital-scrapbooking-kit/sarah-sullivan/baby-boy-papers" target="_blank">Baby Boy Papers</a> and finally I just had to use the <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/sara-schmutz/sweet-shoppe-embellishments" target="_blank">Sweet Shoppe Embellishment kit</a> it was perfect for this layout.<br />
<br />
So that's it for today hope you have a fantastic day.<br />

<br />
Been rushed of my feet for the last week and despite many efforts to find time to do a post, I really struggled to find 5 mins. What with trying to learn illustrator, being unpaid taxi for my 27 year old daughter and grandson. A few family commitments etc. I hardly had time to breath.<br />
<br />
I have managed a couple of layouts<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirUFWAH-RrvhjRCWUr1Yto2yyadKopgAlsOvEqt1NTKEjixLnhycW4PAFzw7-lIqzdFfffokCmlNo2RAaCLvozvFTxXL_sHE4gdIT2bV6VQYXkreJ1fo6jwHbal594dVlR1mFufzVwDRM/s1600/mY+sAM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirUFWAH-RrvhjRCWUr1Yto2yyadKopgAlsOvEqt1NTKEjixLnhycW4PAFzw7-lIqzdFfffokCmlNo2RAaCLvozvFTxXL_sHE4gdIT2bV6VQYXkreJ1fo6jwHbal594dVlR1mFufzVwDRM/s320/mY+sAM.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This is called my Sam, I used <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/digital-scrapbooking-kit/diane-rooney/digital-scrapbooking-kit-meadow-walk" target="_blank">Diane Rooneys Meadow Walk kit</a> and the corresponding kit <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/digital-scrapbooking-kit/mary-moseley/meadow-walk-collaboration-kit" target="_blank">Mary Mosleys Meadow walk kit</a> Great kits and I liked playing with them. I made the ribbon rosetes with the ribbon in the kits but I stretched it made crosses of each colour then layered them up. Ill be using ribbon rosetes again.<br />
<br />
The other layout<br />

I just love this photo, when Jake my grandson was a little under the weather and had Jack the teddy (The school teddy) to stay he insisted on giving Jack a birthday party. I think its a great story to remind him of when hes all grown up,<br />

<br />
I have been doodling about doing this and that, and here are some things that I thought I would post<br />
<br />
1st is a couple of cards made with Spellbinders embossing foldersthe 1st uses a Magic stamp foam block. Magic stamp mouldable foam works so well with the embossing folders and the dies. Anyway here are the results<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm7OgjoVY-RhVF6e79fdNLx8n1aWLyhVkNHSihhx9seQJ7-Y5hTo2eWbap7m-oIPGk_pXXzCKbDchaeszDPwVgdgWCr2m1n6zVHqf21PiFCd8BcbqiixB9X2DYPJ_judjRigFQDVB2Hx4/s1600/scattered+straw+card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm7OgjoVY-RhVF6e79fdNLx8n1aWLyhVkNHSihhx9seQJ7-Y5hTo2eWbap7m-oIPGk_pXXzCKbDchaeszDPwVgdgWCr2m1n6zVHqf21PiFCd8BcbqiixB9X2DYPJ_judjRigFQDVB2Hx4/s320/scattered+straw+card.jpg" width="252" /></a></div>
<br />
I used D-lites Fantastic flourish 1 and the mouldable foam and Scattered straw Distress ink I heated the mouldable foam then pressed it onto the cutting side of the die. Then inked the result up in scattered straw. Stamped onto whie card. Then I embossed it with the M-Bossabilities Flora folder Then heavily inked with scattered straw to create the back ground. To create the ribbon I used the Magic stamp and the other side of the embossing folder. I can't wait to try mixing and matching dies and embossing folders.<br />

<br />
I've done a Hybrid Tutorial for Design House Digital showing how you can change digital element into real Metal Elements for your Hybrid projects.<br />
<br />
I only had 2 hours to actually make and photograph the project , so its not quite as stunning as I would have liked but I think its fairly impressive for something put together in 2 hours. Anyway here it is<br />

The doily backgrounds are Cheery Lynn designs and this is the French flair set. They are beautiful, but even with the cuttle hugger plate and thin paper the cutting was less than perfect and it was difficult and quite scary putting it through the cuttlebug. Even though I taped it down it moved slightly due to having to run it though the machine a number of times. However I was pleased with the finished card eventually.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also had to do a couple of birthday cards, which will be posted at a later date.</div>

As you maybe aware I am now a Decorator for <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/" target="_blank">Design House Digital</a> and they have got a lot of new launches this week and as one of their decorators, I've been busy using some of the new launches to create various items.<br />
<br />
The 1st new release I used is <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/collaborations" target="_blank">Hippitty Hopperty</a> and features 3 designers work Michele Scobel, ImagineNation and Kristin Damon.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1KMW-Blog-Header-Template2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="209" src="http://www.designhousedigital.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/1KMW-Blog-Header-Template2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I love this collaboration. Love the spring fresh colours. As soon as I saw this kit I realised that I had found the perfect kit to use for a layout I've wanted to do for ages. My grandson said something very cute when he 1st went down a tubular slide, unfortunately these days your not allowed to take photos in these sort of places , So I didn't have a photo but I did have an idea how I would do the layout, So these papers were just ideal. So here it is. I think it works.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqPyStzB_HkUKNQG8QIYExHNGH71c2wYDEEnQOUW8YjkbIVnEH_Gxroxj4-j79Ntz5428dL9vCxybacLGcWQe7wh_j2y_vjY1pTzvzK1bn4qTLwU3f8uB4VxTJMfVjjvsl-lTPqO_9bgQ/s1600/Big+wabbit+hole.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqPyStzB_HkUKNQG8QIYExHNGH71c2wYDEEnQOUW8YjkbIVnEH_Gxroxj4-j79Ntz5428dL9vCxybacLGcWQe7wh_j2y_vjY1pTzvzK1bn4qTLwU3f8uB4VxTJMfVjjvsl-lTPqO_9bgQ/s320/Big+wabbit+hole.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I put the lo together with Serif Craft Artist 2. It took a little bit of patience to build up the Rabbit hole but I definatly think it was worth it.<br />
<br />
I think the collaboration is brilliant for Spring and Easter and don't forget that if you go to the <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/content/blog/1-collab-many-ways-hippity-hoppity/" target="_blank">Design House Digital Hipperty Hopperty Blog Post</a> (where you will see all the other decorators creations) and answer this question in the comments <strong>What animal usually delivers Easter Goodies? </strong>You will be entered into a draw to win.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the fantastic Diana Rooney. I loved this kit to bits as soon as I saw it. See what you think?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://d93ujac5r8bvb.cloudfront.net/bmz_cache/f/f991bd19e413873235737327aa8db6b5.image.342x365.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://d93ujac5r8bvb.cloudfront.net/bmz_cache/f/f991bd19e413873235737327aa8db6b5.image.342x365.jpg" width="299" /></a></div>
<br />
You can just smell the ocean. I used most of the papers to make the glass tiles . I adore the glitter and sand , this kit is just oozing with style. I know that this lit will be used to death, great for all my dolphin and holiday sea/beach layouts<br />
<br />
So finally <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/digital-scrapbooking-kit/october-dawn/its-a-colorful-world-solid-papers" target="_blank">Its A Colorful World Solid Papers</a> <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/october-dawn">By October Dawn</a> have also been released this week, What a stunning range of solid paper colours with texture as you can see below<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://d93ujac5r8bvb.cloudfront.net/bmz_cache/5/52c0338461f79c823f3e12719d27a516.image.365x365.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://d93ujac5r8bvb.cloudfront.net/bmz_cache/5/52c0338461f79c823f3e12719d27a516.image.365x365.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
As an experiment I randomly selected a few papers and put them together to create this card topper, using Serif Craft Artist 2. The colours have been selected so well that no matter what papers I put together they looked fantastic.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrxWFtfVp_oPueAO66cPpeZ7wRjihDbTqcs7fXwcf-3AtxPdwKBGFInrOfFC8bnrOzLCPDDtuVKLtAwHIDMr1R9XyibNtrtfoRLAm46cxeU6zZT5H6gZiQGDUtDQWM2aRGh22OprbqMac/s1600/card+topper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrxWFtfVp_oPueAO66cPpeZ7wRjihDbTqcs7fXwcf-3AtxPdwKBGFInrOfFC8bnrOzLCPDDtuVKLtAwHIDMr1R9XyibNtrtfoRLAm46cxeU6zZT5H6gZiQGDUtDQWM2aRGh22OprbqMac/s320/card+topper.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All the items were created or filled with the papers I also used <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/digital-scrapbooking-kit/vanessa-fenton/words-2-delight" target="_blank">Vanessa Fentons Words 2 Delight</a> and <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/digital-scrapbooking-kit/sarah-sullivan/boho-chic-brushes?cPath=18_8" target="_blank">Little Birdie Boho Chic Brushes</a> <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/sarah-sullivan">By Sarah Sullivan</a>. I loved using the brushes , I outlined in black and got a two colour result which I feel is very effective.</div>

This lo features a picture I was really chuffed that I captured. We go to the same place every year to spot dolphins. There are a lot of regulars there and we always have a laugh at the people who turn up wait 5 mins and leave complaining Huh There are no dolphins. This couple walked away just as the 1st dolphin appeared tossing Salmon. </div>

I used Adobe Photoshop mainly for editing photos. However I can see how versatile it could be if I had a great memory. Although my challenge for this year, is to master Photoshop. As I intend to use it for designing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Its a very professional piece of kit, designed to manipulate images and many many people use Photoshop as their main scrapbooking tool, However it is very expensive and can be very daunting for new users and even some old users, like myself, stick to the bits that they know and love. I don't find it that user friendly or intuitive but my brain doesn't necessarily work that way. I am dyslexic and it effects my memory. If the steps are too long from A to B then it takes me a long time to learn them. Also I get easily distracted whilst trying to achieve one result Ill find another result and get tied up in playing with that one. But as I said this year I am going to master Photoshop. I love many of the new features on Photoshop 6 and am looking forward to playing with them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If your looking for a plug and play answer to crafting this is not for you. If you are a quick learner and intend to design professionally then its a fantastic tool.</div>

I want to use illustrator but I do find vector (Drawing with straight lines and curves) programs hard to master and it has the same issues for me that Photoshop has, although again I am going to master Illustrator as I intend to use it for designing cutting files and other items. I can see that drawing with the bezier tool. It draws curves with handles on and once mastered is highly versatile, but mastering the tool takes some practise and until you do you can get some very unexpected results. Again its very expensive, and again a very professional piece of kit.</div>

<u>Digital designer by Docrafts (Should be called Docraft digital image mover and in some cases colour changer)</u></h3>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.craftsuperstore.co.uk/Papercrafting/CD_ROMS_DVDS_AND_BOOKS/Papermania-PMA756104.html"><img border="0" src="http://www.thatsreallycrafty.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/e/n/enchanted_crafting_cd_pma_756104l.jpg" /></a></div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div>
Comes with Docrafts Cd's Although on 1st opening it appears similar to Craft Artist, (although with a more interesting selection of card templates). It has a smaller number of templates in total. It has infinitely less possibilities than both My Craft Studio and Craft Artist basic versions.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Its really only for use with Docrafts Cd's and if you want to use any of Docrafts Cd's , You'll need this as the Docraft images cannot be legally used with other software, this they claim is to protect their designers copyright. Although this is not a problem for Crafters Companion, Craft Artist's Daisy trail or My Craft Studio, (Even Debbie Moores Cd's and software and Joanna Sheenes Cd's are more versatile). After a few tries just to see if it was possible, it really isn't. Their image crashed Craft Artist and they won't open in any other image software. Docraft designers can sleep easy knowing that no one can digitally recolour their images. If you want to digitally recolour you'll have to print off the stamp recolour them, scan and put it back into the program or in fact another program as a photo LOL. (Although using in another program would be illegal not sure on rescaning back into Docrafts)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In fact as far as I can tell you can make the images transparent, add a back glow or drop shadow, re size and flip or take square selections and tile them in a very simple pattern maker oh and make them in to layered decoupage. All very very basic. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They have some really fantastic shapes in their shapes library but, and its a big but for me. All you can do with them is recolour them they are basically stencils you fill with flat colour ( I can't find any other options for them) Yippee not. You can't even digitally punch out papers which you can do in both MCS and CA2 who I see as their main competition. Also if you want to use other digi kits in this soft wear and I don't see why you would . You have to import it one PHOTO at a time. However I only bought it for the Enchanted Cd's they are lovely images so I am glad I have the option to use them. But I will also think long and hard before buying any more Cd's as there is no room for real designing and personalising. So the images will have to be to die for, and I'll have to live with not being able to alter them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We can only hope that Docrafts see sense and make this more of a usable program. I am hopeful as I remember the Docrafts of old who sold scrapbooking paper that was so thin and really basic designs (Oh hose fantastic papers in was it 4 very simple designs in six two tone colours . They have improved dramatically from that, lets hope they improve on this.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: orange;">Pros</span></div>
<div>
Free updates for life</div>
<div>
Some nice templates and shapes (but that makes me frustrated that I can't use them with other items and that their use is so limited).</div>
<div>
Some nice fake embossed papers</div>

Reasonably cheap (but then it would have to be)</div>

When I downloaded it it was quite difficult and came with an installer which added on extra unrelated software that I didn't want. Not used it a lot yet , Its a free vector program (Drawing with straight lines and curves) great for designing cut files and elements from scratch, again there are easier programs to use. Not really great for basic crafting, more options in other programs. But then again it is free.</div>

Much more versatile than Digital Designer, then to be fair what isn't. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
MCS images can be used in other software, I keep mine in my Craft Artist Digikits, and none MCS images can be used in this software easily, you can have whole folders open and view contents. They have loads of digital punches, You can recolour lots of different ways and it has many more effects than DD It has a better pattern maker. It is easy to work out and is a great tool if you just want to change sizes and colours and make matching backing papers. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have only just got Elite but the main difference that I can see is it now has a very basic drawing tool. You can output as .png making it easier to covert for cutting files. I still use MCS occasionally. mainly for their punches. I still buy MCS Cd's as they are usually crammed full although I was disapointed with one of the Print and Go CDs as it seemed to have a lot of images from previous Cd's incorporated MCS is not really that useful for real designing from scratch. But great for basic manipulations of kits. This is sometimes my quick card go to.</div>

Oh and if you do design your own papers elements etc you can sell them at Craft Rabbit.</div>

I liked working in Paint Shop Pro I haven't used it a lot over the last few months as I am trying to learn other programs . I haven't had chance to evaluate a newer version, For me its more like real painting . I haven't played with it for a while, but I still feel that it is slightly more intuitive than Adobe programs. Again its a professional piece of kit for creatively editing photos and images at a very reasonable price . Used by quite a lot of scrapbookers. I designed all my old papers in this, and will be using it till I ge a grip on Adobe's Photoshop.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I want to design I head straight for Craft Artist 2, Pound for pound its the most versatile program. You can create very complicated designs with a reasonably intuitive interface. I love the fact that I can browse My digikit libraries and pick elements, and papers from any of my collection of digi kits and cds (oh except Docrafts). I like the fact that if I like working with loads of different kits that I can save them to a new digi kit. There are tons of brushes, kits. effects stencils and punches. and you can easily make your own as its just a drag and drop. When I want to craft easily quickly and creatively I use Craft artist. It may not have all the bells and whistles of the Corel and Adobe products, but it was designed with crafters in mind and it shows. Its also cheaper than the Corel and Adobe products.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Its not always totally stable but I can live with that. It exports to .svg so I can cut straight from my craft robo. So far I have found customer service to be excellent. If the design is yours from the begining you can sell it.</div>
<div>
Would be a huge benefit if you could store your digi kits in different folders, would make imported and self designed kits easier to find.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All in all I'm a Craft Artist 2 fan. I know there are similar programs on the Market but as I have never used them I can't say if they are better or worse. All I know is Craft Artist is my designer in a hurry, goto tool.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: orange;">Pros</span></div>

<h3>
<u>Silhouette Studio and Studio Designer editions</u></h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Great tool for creating Digital cutting files if you have a Craft Robo or Silhouette although if thats all you want to do then you just need Silhouette Studio . The Designer edition opens both .studio and svg files and there are lots of cutting files available free or to buy in those formats, most of which can be manipulated to create different cutting files.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Would have been my choice to design cutting files in, as you had the ability to save in .studio and svg. Enabling you to sell your files to a wide audience. At the moment Silhouette America have decided that selling .studio files is against their copyright and have disabled the ability to save in .svg. Making it impossible to design for sale with their software, Which is in my opinion a really bad decision. Designing files in SSDE was easy , therefor loads of designers were using it to create cutting files and recommending the Silhouette because of its versatility now they are looking for other alternatives.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: orange;">Pros</span></div>
<div>
Great for designing files for Craft Robo and Silhouette for personal use</div>
<div>
Wide range of cut files available, many free ones</div>
<div>
So Easy to use</div>
<div>
Basic Studio is free</div>
<div>
Designer edition is fair price</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;">Cons</span></div>
<div>
Useless for designing cut files for sale.</div>
<div>
Silhouette America changed program to remove .svg saving after purchase</div>
<div>
There is a small worry that they may remove .svg opening after purchase<br />
<br />
My best advice on buying crafting softwear</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My best advice . Before you decide what program or programs are for you. Decide what you want to acheive , if the program offers infinitly more than you need or much less then think twice. As all our brains work differently, where possible trial the program, either by downloading trials or by using a friends. Look for reviews, watch a few of the tutorial videos on You tube, If you can't follow the tutorials after a few different videos, then the program will be hard to master. This helps to avoid costly mistakes. No point buying a program you can't use.<br />
<br />
Don't only think of your current needs, look forward a few months, will you be wanting to do more than the program offers if so look for the alternatives.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So that is my limited knowledge on Crafting software, if any companies would like me to evaluate their crafting software or any other crafting products feel free tot send me a copy or the item in question and I'll tell it as I find it. </div>

<br />
They were so brilliant that even though I wasn't officially supposed to start decorating for Design House Digital until next week. I begged to join in the challenge. I'm not usually one for working with templates, but Courtney's templates are a doddle to work with and I really enjoyed it. I loved Jen's Heritage Mini kit and Venessa's Bare Necessities (Flowers and fasteners) will be a great and very useful addition to my digi kits. The George papers were fantastic and I especially liked the background paper which I can see me using over and over and over again)<br />
<br />
So here is my layout<br />
