Here’s my first design for the new digistamp drawing challenge at CDAC.
The theme for October is “Sparkle, Twinkle or Shine”. Although there are already so many digi drawings of shoes out there, I decided that after all, a girl can never have too many shoes now, can she?
Have a fabulous day!
Just thought I’d share a card I made for the CDAC Progressive Challenge #3. I used this pretty image from Just Inklined…
This is how my card turned out.. {amongst my husband’s Bonsai trees :0)}
I used background images from The Graphics Fairy; coloured the image in Photoshop then added my fav’ distressing action “Rub-on” from Atomic Cupcake.
The gingham is my own paper design which I used in a bracket shape I created in PS. I used cardstock I had lying around as the card, layered everything up with some hessian (burlap) under the bracket shape and added some string. I created the tag in PS, added an eyelet and tied it to the string and adhered it to the card with foam squares.
I’m off now to watch my son’s athletics again. Got to be at school at 07h45 (on a Saturday?!! – oh I am a good mother!! LOL!) and should take till lunchtime. Then it’s off to take the kids to see the Smurfs movie. (Who would have thought my kids would get excited about seeing a movie about these little gnomes I used to collect as a child?!!)
Have a great Saturday!
Happy Saturday! A little cooler here today, but it’s weekend nonetheless! Yay!
Here is my latest digistamp design. My last one for the “two legs, four legs or both” digi drawing challenge over at CDAC.
Thanks for popping in.
Enjoy your weekend!
Hi everyone, another week and another set of cards…
I received my new set of digistamps for the 3rd Progressive Challenge over at CDAC, so I’m making cards again like crazy! In fact, I have quite a little stash of cards piling up.
I find this is so handy to have. It’s so quick to grab a card when I need one in a hurry.
Here’s the original digi image from Glitterbabes:
I coloured the image in Photoshop, then added a couple of filters, distressed the image with an action from Atomic Cupcake (rubon), then I added a background from The Graphics Fairy and finished it off with a deep red border.
I bound the cards together with a strip of gingham fabric just for some extra prettiness. I love the Autumn country feel of the finished cards.
Hope you have a great week!

Hello!
Well firstly, let me tell you about our weekend. We went away with friends for my son’s friend’s birthday. The game farm we stayed at allows you to play with the lion cubs as they are hand-reared. There were three 6 week old cubs. So cute! The one cub was named “Kylie” as Kylie Minogue adopted her when she visited South Africa. There was a photo of her on the front page of the Sunday paper with Kylie the lion cub.
These cubs were such a highlight for the kids!
Here’s the birthday boy feeding the one cub and getting a little nip on the finger too!
Taking a break…
If I can’t have a bottle, I’ll just settle for a finger…
Just look at those claws!!
Now I also have to tell you that my son won the Junior Victor Ludorum trophy for athletics at his new school on Friday at their Inter-house athletics meeting! I was amazed how determined he was. He broke the high jump and long jump record and also won the 100m, 1200m and came second in the 70m hurdles race. So we’ve discovered a little athlete in the family!
Today I’m also sharing my second drawing for the CDAC Drawing Challenge for September… a trio of mischievous mice.
I also drew another version with the same little mice, only this time with a cupcake….
And today, I have a freebie… You can grab last month’s (and my first) digistamp – just click on the image below, right click to download.
If you make anything with the image, please share it with me, I’d love to see what you do!
Have a great day!
Hi everyone! Hope all is well with you. Here’s what I’ve been up to this past week while my blog has been quiet…
Would you believe that I managed to ‘lose’ my Wacom pen tablet? I hadn’t used it for quite a while. Well I spent about 3 days searching, unpacking cupboards, and silently cursing! Eventually I found it in a cupboard in my bedroom! I guess it was on one of those days when I did a quick tidy up after I had been doodling on it in my room and it ended up being tucked away in a strange place!
I have always struggled to get the results I had hoped for from the minute I bought it about 2 years ago. I simply accepted that I needed more (and more) practice.
I decided there must be another reason… So I used my faithful ol’ Google… Would you believe my problem was sorted out with a quick software upgrade? So now I can draw without looking like I have the shakes and the pen pressure works perfectly!
Long story short, Here’s my latest digi drawing for the September contest over at CDAC – hand drawn on my pen tablet…
I have also been designing some cute party goodies for a friend of mine’s son’s birthday. The party theme is African Safari as we’re going to a game farm nearby for a sleep over. The birthday boy requested this as he wants to play with the little lion cubs.
So the kids get to cuddle with the cubs – they’re gonna love it! (And I will too!) I’m hoping to take some awesome photos of the kids and the cubs as well as the party decor. Will post some pics next week!
Have a great week!
Hi everyone! Ready for a new week? I have a HUGE favour to ask of you…
Remember this digital stamp drawing I did?
Well, the voting has started over at CDAC, so I’d really be ever so grateful if you would take the time to click HERE and vote for me!
Thank you in advance!
Don’t you love this quote?
"You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth."
- William W. Purkey
There are poems, quotes & lyrics that gained inspiration from these words, including this beautiful song “I hope you dance” by Lee Ann Womack. (I’m hoping my daughter will sing this for me one day!)…….
When I saw this little dancer digi stamp, I knew immediately that I wanted to use some of these words on the card.
So here’s the latest card I made for the Progressive challenge over at CDAC…
Want these words in some word art?

Have a great weekend. (Says she with-smile-on-her-face dressed in a short-sleeved SUMMER tee!)
I’m really surprising myself – two posts in one day!
I decided to have a go at drawing digi stamps over at CDAC. There’s a regular digi stamp drawing challenge, this one’s theme is “Things that Hang”.
I decided to keep my first one very simple. Not quite sure what I’m doing yet LOL~!
So here it is :
