Dezinaworld Spot Prize Challenge is back - Yaaaahh!

June at Dezinaworld is starting up the Spot Prize Challenge again.  You don't have to use Dezinaworld images but June would be really happy if you did, and it doesn't have to be a digital project as long as it follows the theme which this month is 

BLACK AND LIME

I love doing the Spot Prize Challenge as it lets me play with my Serif CraftArtist.  I only wish I had half the talent of June and her DT  I find their work amazing and get great inspiration from them.  Anyhoo here is my project for BLACK and LIME

The image and background paper are from Dezinaworld and the lace and butterflies are from digi kits in the CraftArtist software.  I have played with the colours, material depth and feathering.  Don't really understand how they work but I like the effect.

Dezinaworld Spot Prize Challenge - Autumn/Fall & Lace

Just a quick post to show off my entry into Dezinaworld's Spot Prize Challenge the theme is Autumn/Fall & Lace.  I used one of June's freebie backgrounds (gorgeous colours) and I knew what I wanted to scrap as soon as I saw it.  The photos are of my son and daughter's carved pumpkins from last year.  I think I should be OK with these pictures after all October is in Autumn.  The silhouettes, lace and frames are from the 'Spooktacular' digikit from Daisytrail.

REMINDER

Don't forget to hop over to the Crafting When We Can Challenges and enter our sketch and fairytale challenge.

Dezinaworld Spot Prize Challenge - GOLDEN

Another entry to June's Dezinaworld Spot Prize Challenge, this month the theme is GOLDEN.  This can be interpreted however you wish.  I have gone for 'Golden Moments'.  Any time my children are having fun together is a 'golden moment' I have digitally scrapped a time when the children were playing on a beach in North Norfolk near Cromer.  I know I don't have a picture of them together as they were digging holes in the sand.  I have used one of Dezinaworld's pictures in the middle of the pages because it reminds me of my kids and I think it suited the theme, you don't have to use any of Dezinaworld's images but if you do it makes June a very happy bunny.  I have used my Serif CraftArtist program.  I am really enjoying this software and I am in the process of adding some of my photos to make embellishments to go with my pages.  I've done loads of pages and when I have enough confidence in them I will post them here.

                                                                                                           

Dezinaworld Spot Prize Challenge goes Monthly!!

Hi everyone, here is another entry to Dezinaworld's Spot Prize Challenge.  June has changed this challenge to every month so you have plenty of time to enter.  You don't have to use on of Dezinaworld's images but if you do it makes June really happy and being the generous person she is you will find she gives away a lot of freebies for you to use if you wish.  You don't have to use digital either it's just at the moment it is easier for me to use my computer than get all my equipment out (ohh err) to craft with paper & pen.  Anyhoo the theme for June is Green & Purple.  I have used the background and image from collage sheets from Dezinaworld and the flourishes, butterfly, flowers etc. are from the Serif CraftArtist CD.  I really love playing with this program and learn something new everytime (that's when I can find out where the pallets and things have disappeared to, naughty wandering fingers pressing things they shouldn't).

I hope everyone had a great weekend and didn't get too wet.  We managed to miss the showers and only got the sunshine.

Dezinaworld Spot Prize Challenge - Celebrate Your Homeland

Here is my entry for Dezinaworld's Spot Prize Challenge.  The theme is 'Celebrate Your Homeland' and what better way to celebrate than to make a scrapbook page of the beautiful countryside about 10mins drive from my house.  There are 3 pictures altogether which I have cobbled together into a panorama.  I did this in my new CraftArtist program.  There are so many different things in this program I don't think I will ever be able to use them all.  I have added a .png balloon from one of Dezinaworld's steampunk collage sheets.
