Studio 12...

Morning peeps, its my turn to post a project over at Studio 12/Polkadoodles blog. I have made a tag with a pocket in it so you can slip another tag inside, all of the elements can be found on the Picknix collectio 1 Cd, on offer at £9.99 at the moment. The background panel I printed out twice and used the lace panel to make a pocket by layering over and just gluing down the sides and bottom. The roses were fussy cut out and stuck down, I added stickles to the centres of the flowers, faux stitching and buttons to complete.

have a fabbie day

Christmas Tag........

Afternoon peeps hope you are all well, yesterday we had our yearly conference at work and that meant a serious amount of chocolate tasting all day.......diet starts again today. We got to see the whole Christmas range before it hits the shops, so I thought it was apt to share with you a tag I have made for Studio 12 featuring the new Gingerbread Twist Cd, I layered up part of the image of the sweet gingerbread man and added a sting bow, the torn background paper, label and tape are also images off the same Cd.

For my card I chose elements from the Gingerbread Twist CD, crammed with lovely shabby papers and sweet images to get you in the mood for Christmas, I used Gimp to layer up the image and sentiment on top of the scrummy striped paper, printed it off twice and then cut out the gingerbread man and layered on top of the main image for added dimension, added glitter, stitching, buttons and a bow to complete.

Have a fun filled day, I normally clean through before I go on holiday

but this year I have decided to decorate my sons room so I'm just

about to turf him out of bed to get some more painting done.

........will I ever learn not to take on big projects, because I will still

have to clean through cos of all the mess I've made......lol

For my card I have used elements from In The Garden section on the Picknix Cd, I lurvvvvve the doiley background paper which I have printed out twice, cut around the edge of one and layered it up ontop of the other. Oooooppps forgot to say that all lavender and sentiment was layered up using gimp before printing, so its a nice easy card to do, just added a bow and voila.....

Hearts and flowers

Morning to you all, hope you are all enjoying this glorious weather,
I am really enjoying the images on this fabbie Cd.....Studio 12 Picknix. I've created a card using papers and images from the 'In the Garden' section. I cut out and layered up flowers to go around the heart, adding a double bow and heart pearls.I'm getting into Hybrid crafting never thought I'd see me getting on with digi manipulation good job my son is fairly patient with me, I say fairly because he has his moments like.....I've already told you ten times Mum....lol.

Studio 12.....

If you haven't heard about the new blog Studio 12 pop over here to take a peek, every day there is something new from the team including altering, scrapbooking and card projects. Nikky from Polkadoodles has designed a new collection called Picknix, now I have to hold my hand up and say I am not really confident with digital Hybrid crafting, in fact I am a beginner but not to be deterred I thought I would give it ago, now the great things with this Cd is that you can layer up and then print or print off different elements and then layer up adding your own embellishments, there are papers, digi images, cutting files, embellishments and sentiments on the CD. I have to say I just lurvvvvve the papers. I distressed the edges of this paper from The Home Collection on the Cd using Tea Dye distress ink and machine doodled stitched the edges, then I just added roses, pearls and a ribbon to finish off.....oh I forgot to tell you there is Candy as well for one lucky person.
