My second team reveal at e-scapeandscap.net

Well its my second team reveal at e-scapeandscrap.net . The challenge this week was to create with the theme rainbow. Either use rainbows or rinbow colours.

Here is my 1st layout

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 .
The kits I used for both my layouts were Coat of Many Colours by BH Designs , Hats Off to Autumn: Doilies and Circle Stitches by Julie Mead Designs and Julies Painted wings by Julie Mead designs

I used Coat of many colours kit and the wings kit or this layout.  I made all the flowers and butterfies from the wings kit and used the paper and stitches from the Coat of many colours kit.

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.

Here is the layout 
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 
The butterflys by cutting the wings in half,The tree trunk and branches were made by stretching and squeezing the same wing that made the sun ,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. 

I have a small free bee paper for you today I adore Kalidascopes so I hope you like this paper too

A few layouts , a hybrid sewing project and a freebee

Welll its all been amazingly hectic, and great fun. With loads of new kits coming out at Design House Digital the decorators have been busy busy busy. The smell of burning hard drives everywhere . But one thing I love about being paprt of a design team is that you get a lot of scrapping done.

My 1st layout is of my grandson when he was lucky enough to be invited onto the footplate of a steam engine at Foxfield Railway. The kits used are the Boys things kits and Things that Go  all by Sarah Sullivan

My next layout is All about my wish to travel back in time and go to the great exhibition and features this stunning pictorial alpha by Tia Hoffman Shadow Art Alpha The Font is the art of illustration and the paper is mine

The next layout is our family day out at Churnett Valley Railways 40's weekend The kit used is called Family Time and is a collaboration by  the Design House Digital designers and is for the May issue of Scrap 'n Art Magazine. Subscribers will get the kit

Next layout again features my neice Morgaine who is a beautiful girl and shes not just a pretty face, she  is teaching herself japanese these pretty papers have a hint of the oriental about them The kit used is Isabel by Angie Hinksman whos kits are now available at Design House Digital

My last layout for todays post features some of my photos of Spey bay, Love Spey Bay in Scotland. Kits used are the Summer Dreams kits by Cheryl Ann Kammerer at Design House Digital

So thats it for now

A card a layout and a freebee

Busy busy busy, but I have managed to set aside some time to do a little post and make a little freebee for you all.

Well I'm hosting the Design House Digital 4 Play 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  

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. 

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.

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, 

I also made this card using the same template and kits,

 I think you could give this card to either a man or a woman and its gone into my emergency I'm an idiot card stash , for those times when time just gets away from you and the next thing you know its .......s birthday tommorow and you need to get the card in the post.

Anyway if you want to play along with the challenge or just buy one or two of the kits you can find out more on the 4play blog post

So as promised here is my freebee. Hope some of you find it ueful

you can download this freebee paper here

So that's it for me for today

BYEE for now

This Thursday challenge ALL Change

Hi All

The challenge this week on This Thursday is all change, we have a great prize this week 3 CD roms

Which have been provided by our sponsor this week Little Lous Craft supplies . Prize value is a wopping £40.00 so an extra special thanks to Hayley from little lous

So here are my examples for the weeks challenge

As the theme was change for this card. I did nt use any of the backinbg papers on the cd I took a small section of the main image and blew it up with my photo editing softwear then ran a watercolour effect. I printed the background the mount and the image and flower embelishment

and the greeting as I panel and added fake stitching and borders with Sakura pens

I used the backing papers from the cd, but I also used the teabag papers, to create a small medallion as an embellishment

I think this although not yet completly finished will be my favorite peice. The image is printed onto fabric, wadded then quilted There is a project sheet available with suppliers at http://www.thisthursday.wordpress.com/ on the project page

I also altered a small tin with a small section of the image . There are so many more projects that I want to do with this Cd. My neice has ordered a t shirt. I am going to print the image onto fabric with a black border. Stitch onto the t shirt with border left free. Then fringe the border. I am going to print a number of the images onto shrink plastic and make a charm braclet. I am going to make matching earings and pendant . I am going to transfer some onto fimo. In fact Im sure that there are loads more projects that I will end up using these images for.

Oh our sponsor Little lous craft supplies is having a show on Create and craft tommorow 18th at 2pm showing some more great projects , and if you hang on till the 3pm show you will get a preview of our next weeks sponsor The Stamp man and possibly a hint at the prize next week.
