Pattie's Creations Challenge #73


The theme for this challenge, at Pattie's Creations, was to
make a card using any type of embossing.  This suited me
as I really like to use my Cuttlebug for embossing and then
using a sanding block to bring out the background colour.
I also did some embossing on the flower, but didn't use the 
sanding block on it.

Noa at Camp in New Jersey - 2013

My granddaughter Noa, who is now 13, has just spent a
month at a camp in New Jersey, and as I didn't do her a
scrapbook page for her birthday, I made one for her to
remember the great time she had at camp.

I enjoyed doing this page as I learnt how to use a brush
to make the filmstrip.  Everything takes me ages to do,
but I get to what I want in the end - well, not always!

Now I have started another SB page for my 5 year old
grandson, and he's at the stage where he likes Superman,
Spiderman and Batman, so at least I know where to
start.  Watch this space!

C.C. Designs First Monthly Challenge - "Red Hot"



 I have followed C.C.Designs  blog for some time now
and decided to take part in their  first monthly challenge.
The challenges will happen on the 21st of each month,
and run an entire month. 

This is the first image that I ever bought and think she
is very cute.  Also she is easy to colour on a computer,
which isn't the case for all digital images. 

If anyone is interested in the red plaid background, let me
know and I will send it to you.

Pattie's Creations Challenge #71 - Monochromatic

Here is my DT card for the next challenge at Pattie's Creations.
Silly me didn't realise that monochromatic could be hues of
various colours, so I did black/gray, but I am happy with the
outcome.  It would be interesting though to try out using nice,
brighter colours.  I also had a chance here to use my new
dies!
