Dezinaworld Everyone Wins Prize Give Away Challenge

I've finally made my card for Dezinaworlds Everyone Wins Challenge.  June is very kindly giving everyone who enters this challenge a prize.  You have to use one of June's images but she has loads of freebies in various styles.  I used this image for a wedding card.  My OH's cousin is getting married and I thought this would be perfect for them.  It used to have French writing at the bottom which said, Bonne Fete, which I think means Happy Birthday so I cut that off.  I have used various silver papers, which I got from 'Home Bargains' for 89p.  There is a holographic one which I used at matting and a mat silver with little glittery spots for the main mats.  I coloured the edge of the card with my silver Sakura pen.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out and I hope you like it too.  I will be adding a Wedding sentiment when I find one.  I've never made a wedding card for someone before.

I made a little scrapbook for my daughter using Tim Holtz big dies to cut the pages.  It is of her 9th Birthday at the local stables.  (Forgive the horrible photos the light has been atrocious)

I have enlarged some of the images I have used on the pages.  These images were beautiful to colour not too complicated but with plenty of detail.  I also used one of the images to make a small card using a Nestie for the base and mats.  The papers are from Creative Cottage.

I was also playing with photoshop and Word 2007 Publisher and made this card.  All the images are from Bombshell Stamps and the papers are from Bearly Mine

My Mum and Me

This is a LO of my Mum and Me.  It was taken on my 18th Birthday and I was presenting my Mum with a bunch of flowers for organising my birthday party.  At the time I wanted to have a 21st party not an 18th but I am glad my Mum persuaded me as just over a year later she died of Cancer.  This is one of only a couple of photos I have of my mum as when my OH & I moved from the house I was born in I seem to have lost all the old family photos.

I am entering this LO into DEZINAWORLDS SPOT PRIZE CHALLENGE - Mother and Child.  Hop over and join in any project is accepted as long as it a new post and follows the  theme.  June is also have an EVERYBODY WINS CHALLENGE just follow the link to find out all the details.

Don't tell my OH about this!!!

Just a quick post I've been playing with Photoshop and my pictures. I'm too mean to pay for digital scrapbook layouts so I've been having a play.  These aren't exactly fantastic but I really enjoyed playing and am learning new things daily.  The title of the post is because if my OH knows I have posted this LO he wouldn't make me a cup of tea for days.

The photo was manipulated in Photoshop Pro by my daughter who was 10 at the time and I have made it into a transparent .GIF so I could put it onto a Creative Cottage background.  The lipstick and brooches were from a collage sheet I won at Dezinaworld I cut them out changed the colour and made them into .GIFs and added them as embellishments.  I was supposed to be entering it into Dezinaworld Spotprize Challenge 'Hot pink and silver' but got the dates wrong and missed it.

These are photos are of my daughter when she was in the panto 'Frankenstein the Panto' in January this year.  She played a school girl, a ghost and a bat.  The papers are from Creative Cottage.
