Good Morning,

 

There's a great new challenge starting today over at Moving Along With the Times

Hazel is our hostess this week and she has chosen us the theme

 



'Spooktastic Times...'

 

So we would like to see all your Halloween Theme creations, not too scary please!!!!!

 

 

I have used a digi 'Ursulas Witch' that I got from the Digi Garden, however the store has sadly closed. The image was coloured with Copic's & chalks before being cut out. I copied the spider from her hat which I enlarged, coloured, glittered & cut out to use as embellies.

The sentiment was cut out on the silhouette, the top layer was cut out in white and coloured with markers to match the image. The backing papers are a free download  from Bearly Mine & have been mounted onto silver mirri then black card. Ursula has been added to the card using folded card that flattens for easy posting.

 

Hop on over to the main challenge blog for more spooky inspiration.

 

 

Enjoy your day!

Some sad news.

It is with much sadness & disbelief that I write this post.

Yesterday I had some very sad news. 

I read a post on The Digi Diva's blog from one of my team mates  informing the team of a post they had seen on the home page of The Digi Garden store.

It had been posted by Lisa (Jacqui's sister) advising that Jacqui owner and Artist of The Digi Garden had passed away.

Jacqui had suffered poor health for a while but none of us expected to hear such sad news. All of us are shocked and extremely saddened and I know Jacqui and her cute images will be missed by all.

I have only known Jacqui for a short while since becoming a Digi Diva. However this has been long enough for me to realise that she was a very talented, kind & generous Lady who will be sadly missed.

 I have loved being a part of the Digi Garden Divas and I would like to thank Jacqui for allowing me to  be part of a wonderful team, working with such super cute images.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jacqui's family at this sad time & who was with her when she passed. And who should be very proud of her.

xXx

PS For anyone that has bought digi images recently there is a message on the Digi Garden website from Lisa (Jacqui's sister) advising of how to contact her.

Good Morning,

Well craft fair over and it was a very successful one. That means I can now play rather than go like the clappers. It also means more time to blog so I will be round to visit you all shortly.

There's a new challenge starting today over @ Sunday Sketch & Stamp Challenge. For the second week running it is being sponsored by The Digi Garden, thank you Jacqui, you're a star

Here's my card
using Shaylee, isn't she just a sweetie!

I have coloured her in with pro markers. The stars I actually printed and cut on the silhouette, I very pleased with myself as this is the first time I have managed the whole process without help. Glamour dust has been applied to the stars & Shaylee's wings for that bit of sparkle. The papers have been printed from the do craft CD 'woodland friends' & 'tatty ted'. I only printed off the size I needed as my box of scraps is overflowing.

Why not hop on over and join this weeks challenge, can't wait to see your creations.

Good Morning,

October already, where has this year gone?

I've been having a play with some new Halloween digi's from The Digi Garden. I  decided to use  Edward's pumpkin costume, isn't is just so cute! I made a card with a matching tag

I coloured the image in with Spec's & chalk & used distress ink blended round the image and sentiments. The spiders webs were cut on the silhouette & glittered with black glitter that is not showing up on the photo. The paper is printed from a Do Crafts CD, think it may have been Woodland Friends

I have scheduled this post so fingers crossed, it didn't work and I kept my fingers crossed all day!!!!!!!
