New challenge at Creative moments

It's new challenge time at creative moments this fortnight we are being sponsored by

I've been struggling of late with my crafty mojo, so when the idea for this came to me in the middle of the night I had to act on it.

The background was created in Craft artist and the digi stamp was added and the image was coloured using pencil

New challenge at Creative moments

Well it's the start of a new week and a new challenge over at Creative moments.

This fortnight the challenge is being sponsored by Digi Darla Designs

The theme was to make it Girly so I've done this by using lots of pinks and yellows which come from a fab digi kit called Abigail from Angie Hinksman designs.

All the background layers are created digitally and then printed out the digi stamp has been coloured in using a combination of promarkers and pencil and the final details have been added with glossy accents and sticklers glitter

New kits from Angie Hinksman

Well over the last week I have had the opportunity to play with some fab new digi kits from Angie Hinksman.  The two kits are called Abigail and Charlie and can be purchased from the Digi chick store.

For my first project I created a Mother's Day card for my boys for their nana.  I changed the colour of the hair and one of the tops so that they looked more like my boys 

The second card I made using a combination of both kits for their granny

I love both kits they are so versatile I feel some scrapbook pages coming up using some of the elements.

But in the meantime I have created a couple of cute treat boxes using Abigail and a bag transfer.

If you like the look of the kits pop along to the Digichick store

Artistic Inspirations challenge sponsored by Scribble and Scrap

These challenges are coming round way too fast, can't believe another month has flown by.

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by

Scribble and Scrap

and the theme is Anything Goes/ Easter Colors

I'm not normally a lover of flowers but for some reason this poppy stamp called out to me.

I as always started by creating a background in my trusty craft artist professional, I have a few papers but with two little boys around storage can be a problem more often than not they end up ruined by the boys. By creating the backgrounds myself I can also change the colours to suit my project.

I coloured the poppies with my promarkers, then the final piece was mounted onto some silver mirri and then added to a 6x6 craft card blank.

Today's piece is my DT piece for the Creative Moments Challenge blog.

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Aurora Wings.

If you've not seen the stamps you need to go and take a look they are awesome.

For this piece I have tried to do the no lines technique (where you print the image out very faintly so you don't see the lines when you have finished colouring) I also for the first time coloured with pencils but not the  expensive ones these were a pack of 36 crayola ones like you would purchase for using with children.  

A little close up of detail.

Feeling a little Whimsy

Well a few weeks ago I told you how I had been chosen to be on Angie Hinksmans creative team.

Angie creates the most beautiful digital kits that I use in my Serif Craft Artist.  Her latest creation is called 'A little Whimsy', I love it.

The kit is full of bright primary colours ideal for scrapbooking the many photos I have of my boys and I'm really enjoying creating these pages.  I am a hybrid crafter so am combining my love of digital with real matting and layering and adding gems.  I just need to save now for an 8" x 8" album to put my completed pages in.

Here are a couple of layouts I made the other night, the kit has so many embellishments that remind me of the project life kits (which I love but cannot afford)

Although the kits are great for digital scrapbooking they can be used so many more ways and today I created this super cute little milk carton favour box

I'm also in the process of designing a transfer for a babies t-shirt and will upload picture when it is complete.

You can purchase the digi kit here


I would love to know what you think of my makes,


Bye for now

Anything for Kids

This week I have done something that is relatively new to me, scrapbooking.

I chose this fun bunny image and coloured it in using my spectrum noir pens.

I then set about creating my page in Craft artist using a beautiful digi kit from Angie Hinksman called
Eyecandy which you can purchase at the daisytrail shop.

The final step was to combine my digital crafting with some real embellishments for this I cut out the bunny digi stamp and also punched a border strip from some white card which  i then coloured green.

 What do you all think, I love the cuteness of the bunny and hope you can see the texture I've tried to add when I coloured him in.
