New bits & bobs...

First off we have a real as in not digital LO. Nothing too groundbreaking but a memory made by my own loving hands and added to the scrapbook... Poor Sadie always seemed to be poorly as a baby - nothing serious just lots of viruses and everything that goes with that! This is a memory of one such incidence - her poor little face was just so sore with all the noseblowing and constant wiping! She was always happy though even when she felt rotten! Poor babe!

Next up is a digital LO that I did for the DoCrafts March Scrapbook challenge. Here's the sketch and brief -

 

 

Theme Pets or Animals in general and if you don't fancy those you can choose Spring.

Colours to suit your choice of theme.

I decided to go with pets and used a pic of my Pablo Naughty Boy. As I was getting on with it I really wasn't enjoying the landscape A4 format so I ended up doing it 12x12... here's how it turned out.

 

 

 

They're not that much different I know but I'm just conditioned to prefer 12x12 - probably because it's the format I started out with. I've brainwashed myself lol!

Next up - a Mothers Day card. I actually made two of these - one for my mummy one for Leon's!

 

Happy Mother's Day!

The main paper (the floral one) is Papermania Happy Days again and although I bought this maybe nearly a year ago now, it's still one of my favourite card stacks ever! I think the glue was still drying on it as I was handing it over. Nothing like a bit of pressure to get things done on time eh?

Happy crafting everyone!

Thanks for coming to see me here,

Good Morning Sunday!

Hey everyone,
I've been itching to try another digital LO so I got up nice and early this morning to try one out... I started with a 12x12 chevron pattern I made in Adobe Illustrator - the blue colour was picked to contrast with the sweet sugary colours of the American Crafts kit I bought. Sometimes a subtle contrast of colour really helps your elements stand out rather than just coordinate!

Lovely digital elements By ACDigitals Dear Lizzy Neapolitan!

Going digital definitely has it's advantages round these parts, by which I mean - no sharing a table with a naughty kitty who tries to steal every scrap of paper left unattended! He is a very naughty cat and there have been times when I have left a LO overnight only to return to it the next day to find it completely "rearranged" "edited" or just plain eaten! Pablo is obsessed with everything that goes on at that table, bless! I have tried lots of ways to amuse/distract him while I'm there which has only gone on to make him worse because I think he associates me being there with Pablo playtime! I even tried a nice comfy cushion so he could cosy down and watch me do my thing there but no - as soon as my back is turned something gets swiped!!! Last year he completely sabotaged a minibook I was making for my sister by eating 2 paper greyhound shapes I'd cut out for it!

Gorgeous but BAD!

- Here he is in his usual stance - sitting on whatever project I'm working on trying to chomp the corners off. He is lovely but v. bad  and would challenge even Jackson Galaxy's cat whispering ways! Just the other day I was trying to do a messy background with gesso and shimmer sprays and he walked right through the wet gesso and left his catty pawprints both on my project and beyond! Honestly!!!
Anyway, I hope you like my digital endeavor and I hope it makes you want to try it too - don't feel too guilty about deserting your real life stash temporarily! I don't, I see it as just another way of getting those pages done quickly and without falling out with my cat!LOL!
Happy Sunday Crafting everyone!
