Incomplete Rainbow

"Red and yellow and pi......er...blue..."!  I decided that , as the girl hasn't completed her rainbow painting, I'd just stick to the primary colours. 

The image is by A Day For Daisies and I used scraps left from the book I made (previous post) and Promarkers.

'Life is Beautiful' Book

At long last I have finished making a journal for my daughter - I started it months ago!!! She is a student midwife and it is customised to record information on her deliveries etc.

I used the entire collection of Cosmo Cricket 'Togetherness' (expect to see the scraps being used up), and, as I still needed more, I used other patterned papers that I felt went well with them. I bound it with my Bind-it-all.

There are customised charts for info on deliveries

Index page and inside front cover

 



Pockets for letters etc

An Older Guy

This week's challenge at CD Sunday is 'Aged to Perfection', so I thought I'd feature my favourite older man - and it's not my partner! (He,he..)

I used Papermania 'Christmas Past' CD. I made two copies of the Father Christmas image and I used the transparency button in Docrafts Digital Designer to make one of them lighter for the background.

I used a sketch from My Time to Craft .

I'd also like to enter Word Play Saturday Challenge,  Magical.

Green and Glittery

Here I've used a combination of images from Linda Ravensdcroft's Fairyland CD , and some backing paper from the same CD . I've added glitter glue to the fairy's wings and Glossy Accents to the water on the leaves. I used green glitter paper and a flower border from Papermania; a die-cut flourish; and punched flowers with gem centres.

It's very greeen!!!

Here is this week's Pinspirational photo from Pinspirational Challenges:

 

For my DT card, I used part of a skateboarder digi provided by our sponsors , Stamping Chef.  I coloured it in and paper-pieced the skateboard, with Basic Grey Obscure paper, whcih I also used for the background.

Scottie Dogs

We last finished decorating our front room just days before our son was born. He is now 6 and the room decor is showing the strain of his infant years!  We are just about to redecorate, with new sofa covers in grey, and yellow curtains and cushions. So  I suppose grey and yellow are my current fave colour combo - as requested by As You Like It  Challenge.

The dogs are a Dovecraft punch and the banners are a Crafty Sentiments die. I stamped the baners with a Hampton stamp.
