Our little Super Star...

Another page showing Eli in his snowman hat.  I'm trying to get all my Christmas pages done so that I can have them printed in a photo book.  There are some amazing offers at the moment and the one I had printed by Trueprint before Christmas came out so well.  One thing that gets me down with scrap booking is that you always need two pages on the same theme if you're going to put them in books and sometimes I only really need one for the photos I have.

Wonder if this gets to other people too!

Again it's a digitally created page using Serif Craft Artist - oh my I just love what you can do with that programme.  Thank goodness I bought some extra digi kits before I took the oath (see post below).

My page is also for the challenges at...

• Crafty Ann's Challenge - HOT - hmmm hot red and one hot guy when he grows up!
• Crafts and Me Challenges - anything goes
• Papertake Weekly - anything goes

Have a fabulous weekend everyone.  I'm working again.  Covered 49+ hours this week - no wonder my crafting time is suffering.  Hopefully I will have a few days next week to play big time.

Hugs to all.

More Christmas Scrapping...

Just when Eli thought it couldn't get any worse I found this oh so cute hat with a snowman on the top.  I think when he grows up and sees these pics he will probably fall out big time with his Grannie Annie, but oh well I'll talk my way out of that when the time comes.

Again I've used Scrapbook Artist to digitally create my page.  I'm learning all the time though and so proud of myself as in this page I've actually created my own frame for the photo to snap into.  Cool eh?

The sketch I've used is a fab one by the team at Sketchy Thursdays.  Really enjoyed using this one.

• Craft Your Days Away Challenges - Snowmen

Have a great day.  I'm working all week so crafting time is going to be severely limited, but hopefully I'll be able to play a little.

Oh my goodness it's 2012...

Happy New Year to everyone.  Let's hope it's a good one for us all.  One of my many New Year resolutions is to use more of my stash especially new stuff as sometimes I buy things and find a space somewhere in the craft room and simply never get round to using them even though I love the stamps to pieces.  Really silly to buy and never ink up so to start the year I've made a card using a really cute Molly Bloom stamp that Santa brought me.  I really love this stamp as it has so many possibilities.  I think it would fab paper pieced and would decoupage quite well too.

I used the sketch from Papertake Weekly as a basis for my design and papers that have been in my stash for a long, long time.  I like to use vellum over highy patterned paper as I love the way you can still see the design on the paper through the layer.  In this case I found a matching blue vellum to use.  The image was coloured using Promarkers and die cut snowflakes and gems complete the card.

Additional Challenges...

• Stuck on U Sketches - Snowflakes
• Rainbow Lady - Your Choice

Think I may start my other resolutions (less red wine and more healthy food) next week.  LOL! Have a great day whatever you have planned for the day. 

Love and smiles,
