SomComDif ATC Keys

Again I am thwarted to some extent because I do not have all the stamps and inks and stuff but I did have some paper with a lot of rusty keys on it so I reduced it to ATC size and Paint Shopped it into pretty colours

IF - Adrift and SomComDif -Wings

Being a bit lazy and have done one thing for both the Illustration Friday and the Something Completely Different challenges. These butterflies have been caught on the wind and are being blown who knows where! My mum used to collect things with butterflies on them, or butterfly shaped things, so I bought a lot of sticker so I could always put them on cards or letters that I wrote to her. She has got rid of most of it now and I write less as I can visit more

SomComDif ATC #01

The theme for the first ATC was Mad March Hare but we were given some leeway in our interpretation and the spelling of hare was optional so here is my hippy Easter chick with her Mad March Hair! This is a drawing of my own in pen which I scanned and coloured in in Photoshop as I didn't have anything else that I could fnd to meet the subject.

SomComDif Cats

I bought this peel-off for a card for a cat obsessed friend but there were three on the sheet and I hadn't got round to using the others, so thanks for the opportunity. I stuck the peel-off over a photo of the view from the back garden of my previous house and layered it on to some Paper Cellar paper which reminds me a bit of a faded Edwardian sitting room, where the cats have a lovely life

SomComDif Gothic Arch - Fashion (Shoot)

This model has been taken to one of my favourite places ( Sutton Hoo ) for a fashion shoot. I printed the photo, which I took last summer, to start with. Then I scanned a copyright free design from a Dover book and printed it three times, on plain white, patterned green and patterned peach papers and built her up with 3D sticky pads and then posed her in the photo. It came out better than I had hoped

SomComDiff Gothic Arch New Year

If you are, like me, under a foot of snow then this isn't so cute or so funny! Brrrr!

SomComDif 27/11

This week's challenge was Red and Green with Snowman. I bought a Vintage Graphics CD about four years ago and used it a lot when I first had it but it has been neglected for other things so I was delighted to find this image, even though it may be dangerously close to cute. Background paper and a bit of green ribbon (magazine freebies) and there you go!

SomComDif 20/11

This week's challenge was snowflakes using the colours blue and white. I'd been playing around with papers for my Christmas cards this afternoon (if you'd like to see a couple click on this Link ) so I used a few of my scraps and a snowflake punch and a square pnch to produce my offering. It hasn't scanned very well so you can't see the sparkle bits, never mind

Craft Wednesday and SomComDif 14/11 Pink Tree

Just a good old fashioned Iris Fold with some bits and pieces I had in my stash

SomComDif 07/11 Holly and Ivy

This month's challenges are colours and themes for Christmas cards - which has reminded me I'd better get on with them! This week is red green and gold The Holly and the Ivy

SomComDiff Halloween

I'm not happy about the way kids "celebrate" Halloween. I shall be celebrating All Souls day tomorrow but as we are on the internet here's an inchie web site!

SomComDiff Challenge 09/10 - Birds

We are still with the inchies this week, theme "Birds" I hope this isn't cheating, but the apperture is an inch square. The technique is similar to iris folding in that folded paper is layered behind an apperture. I had several goes at cutting the bird to go on top. If you carry on with these formats I shall have to get my glasses changed!

SomComDif 03/10

Not easy trying to do something in a 1" square so I used a couple of fonts from www.dafont.com in the end. The theme was oriental

SomComDiff Challenge 25/09

Welcome to my new blog for craft stuff. This weeks Moo card has the theme ABC. Didn't find it easy to think up Something Completely Different but hope you like it.
