Birds of a feather

Today i have done " the beginners and all 6 blends" challenge on Daisytrail. This challenge has been put together by Hilary aka  "Sunset" who has a wealth of knowledge on all things craft artist.  So this is some altered art done in craft artist, in the top left hand corner is the original picture, it is a Moorecroft card and as you can see quite a difference between the two, in the corner bottom right is a picture with out anything being done to it, so using your blend mode and layers you can achieve quite a different look, the word art is also part of the challenge to do it using the freeform brush. I have enjoyed doing these challenges as it's been a while since i did any pages on daisytrail.

In the land of make believe

This is the page i made in craft artist. It is for the  " Focus on threshold"  challenge.  The challenges are usually put together by the moderators and can be a very a good way of learning just what you can do with craft artist. At the moment they have 3 challenges that you can treat as tutorials , " Effects, Threshold and blends ". All three very useful things to learn. The second picture is the original before threshold was applied.

Ode to Van Gogh Friday fantasy @ daisytrail

The housework is screaming at me so I'll just have to use earplugs for a while.

Daisy trails Friday fantasy this week  is " Ode to Van Gogh".,   A single chair in a lonely room,   black crows against a field of wheat,   A bandaged ear a sign of doom,  A vase of iris in last bloom,  Madness rages, can paint repeat,   A single chair in a lonely room.

So the idea is to create a page based on that ode.

I have used 2 kits for this "poet keepsake" i love this kit, and "inner fire" again another fabulous kit. I have used two images from Google, one i took into cutout studio and the other has added effects,  the word art is also from the "inner fire" kit.

Right now that's done i will go and talk to the hoover who seems to be screaming the loudest.

Down the rabbit hole....OOB

I have been back to daisy trail and just could not resist doing a page.  It's been a while since i did any pages and have not used CAP as much as i have been doing cards. This image i found on the net and is perfect for one of there challenges "fun with effects, 3". The challenge is to create an OOB " out of bounds", you take your photo into the cutout studio and cut away every thing you don't want to use then place it back into your work space and find another suitable image or frame to make it look like it's coming out. You have to place your original photo into a frame and have that also on the page for the comparison to be made . I had fun doing this one and used a photo of my grandson Jake. I will print this off and will be put into one his albums.

out with the boys

As the weather has not been good this weekend i have been able to do more crafting and revisit some blogs sites that i have missed of late. I have not done as much in scrapbook's as i would like and i now have two more Grandchildren so there is plenty to keep me going for a long time. This page is for my daughter who lost dog Blue and is heartbroken over him, but just after that she gave birth to another baby boy who has brought the sunshine back.

Cheers
