I know I have been quiet lately

Well here I am again, finally making time to post some of my recent makes which of late have been more focused on my scrapping.

All the above layouts were made using a template kit from designs by Christaly called Blessings Vol 1 if you wish to purchase the templates click here

New opportunity at Bee Tree Studios

Well, long time no post, couldn't be helped I've been ill, couple this with been a mum to two lively young boys and working part-time I've not had many spare minutes.

If you are a regular follower of my blog you will know how much I love my Craft Artist 2, and recently I have started learning about digi scrapbooking.  I love scrapbooks but don't have the space or time to traditionally scrap.  I have joined a number of facebook groups recently trying to learn more about digi crafting and it is on one of these groups that I saw my perfect creative roll.  It combined my new found interest of scrapping with digital (perfect).

I emailed Stephanie Bee Tree Studios and she loved my work.

So here is my first project for Bee Tree Studios, the kit I got to work with is called The Graduate.

Below is my first layout

I really love the colours of this kit makes it easier to scrap masculine pages

Time to say goodbye

Well this post has been a hard one to write, in recent months I've been finding it hard to juggle my working/family life with all my DT work, and as a result my creative spark has been missing and I've found myself struggling to enjoy the colouring of my digi stamps, I've also put myself under immense pressure to come up with new ideas and have been very critical of my final results.

In order to relieve some of the pressure I made the sad decision to reduce some of my DT work, I put the names of the three teams in a hat (I just couldn't decide any other way as all the teams are fab) and let my youngest pull one out, the result of which is that this will be my last DT post for creative moments .  I would like to add that the team have been fab and couldn't wish for a better boss than Alex.

Any way enough of the sad news and onto something positive, this fortnights challenge was a little different.

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.
