Here is the third cluster frame freebie I made. This time, I used the kit “Sand Between My Toes” by Created by Jill:
This photo was taken on our last visit to the seaside in Croatia. And here is the freebie:
The link is now working – sorry about that…
This week, guest zentangle instructor, Carol Baily Floyd challenged us with drawing a “Fairyland” zentangle – a place that fairies would dwell. And here is my interpretation:
I enjoyed doing this challenge. It brought back magical memories of childhood.
My obsession with digital graphics/scrapbooking continues… I decided to do Coolscrapdigitals Addies Designs CU pack for a freebie July challenge. And here is the CU pack “Outdoor Decos” I got to work with:
I chose to modify and add to it with felt style and elements from Scrappin Cop. It is my first attempt at a kit. It wasn’t as easy as I thought to make a kit. But as usual, the more I do, the more I will improve (I think). I just hope I don’t cringe too much, later looking back at this kit :-). Here it is and the download is below:
It’s time again for Coolscrapdigital’s Quick Page Contest. This month, we were to create with the kit “Happiness” by Pretty Ju. And here is my layout:
I used photos of my children when they were young – oh, how quickly they grow!
And here is the freebie for you to download:
I joined my friend Maria on a hike organized by the Redlands Area Walking/Hiking Meetup Group. We hiked a three mile trail in Oak Glen. The weather was wonderful, and the hike was exhausting exhilarating! – ok, I’m still coming back from my ankle injury 🙂
Oak Glen is about 30 minutes from where I live. I have gone there numerous times on school field trips with all my children, as well as apple picking in the fall. But I never realized that there were such wonderful hiking trails there.
Here is the second cluster frame freebie I made. I used the kit “Hey Birdie” by Created by Jill:
This is a photo of a lampwork bead earring I made. And here is the freebie:
We had a break in the hot weather, and I actually got a chance to get on the torch. I made a little bluebird and a rosette bead, and made a pendant:
I have a habit of making googly eyed birds – I think they are cute!
This week was another student’s choice assignment. I chose to do the scribble drawing:
It is a littie blue fish with big eyes, sticking out his tongue :-).
At the request of Created By Jill, I had the fun task of creating some cluster frames. Here is the first of three, this one is made from the kit “Floral Suprise”:
This is a photo of my Blythe doll Lily dressed in an old Barbie dress I made for my daughter when she was young. And here is the freebie cluster frame:
This week, the Diva shared her podium with guest, Christina. Christina’s challenge to us was to start our tangle with our initials. In my case, it would be LD:
No, that is not a spider. It is a tangle bug with 6 legs :-).
Chili Designz of Coolscrapdigital is hosting a color challenge. We were provided with a very cute kit which included a color palette. Here is my layout:
The photos were taken by Cindy Wimmer of Sweet Bead Studio. Cindy makes beautiful jewelry, and also takes very nice pictures. These are of her youngest son. When I saw them, I knew they would be perfect for this color challenge – just look at his adorable expression blowing on the dandelion! :-).
As if I needed anything more to keep me glued to my computer. In my visits around various blogs, I stumbled on Hummies World – a PSE on line course. I felt that I had reached my “level of incompetance” with the assistance of a PSE guide book, and thought this would be great to take me to the next level :-). So far it’s been very helpful. My knowledge of PSE has many holes, and Hummies courses will hopefully fill some of them. Here are some layouts I made thus far from the course work:
Included above are layout tutorials on tinting, slicing photos, drop down box, and gradients.
