 I have a small candy available to one commenter on this post - a packet of 100 various sized white flowers which can be spritzed or chalked up in any colour. These are perfect for your cards or scrapbook pages. The '100' is in celebration of the 100 challenges at Digistamps4Joy. I will post internationally so feel free to comment if you are outside South Africa!

Thanks for playing with us!

Carnival Time

Let's Scrap has moved to a blog and their new address is http://letsscrapsketches.blogspot.com

They still put out a weekly sketch challenge, and I decided to play along this week. I haven't created a scrapbook page for a while now, so today I was on leave and thought 'hey, why not?" Here is the sketch they posted, and below is my take on the sketch. The photos were taken in August at a local school fair, of my grandsons having fun on the rides.

The popcorn, man-on-stilts, and the title were all cut with my Scan 'n Cut machine. I added puff-paint to the popcorn instead of the cut-out from the design as I thought it made it look 'more real'.

Goodbye to a Gentle Giant (29 April 2014)

I had to say goodbye today to Bruno, my dearest Great Dane friend and companion of 10 years.
Read the Memorium I wrote for him.

Mixed media - Paintbox Poppets

This is the mixed media canvas I made using a set of 3D decoupage prints called Paintbox Poppets (www.jalecro.com) that I bought recently. I only used 2 of the 4 prints on the sheet.

This was made for the January mixed media challenge at Paper Digital Art and Images. I started by tearing up a serviette (blue dotted one in picture) and a piece of pink tissue paper. I stamped antique brown butterflied on the tissue paper then crumpled it up. The whole canvas was mod podged and then these pieces were modged on top to cover the whole board. When this was dry, I painted gesso over everything to create a white translucent feel. The first whole Poppet image was pasted onto the board, then a second one that I trimmed to just around the little girl. I raised this one with small pieces of thick board. Modpodge was liberally applied to the images.
After this is was just a matter of adding flowers, ribbons, and pearls. I painted gesso on the flowers and leaves to create a vintage look.
