On Our Travels with Darcy's Postcard Challenge - United States of America

As a person who would love to go into space and stayed up all night to watch the landing on the moon, even though I had to be at work at 6 a.m. the next morning, I just had to do the moon shot for my postcard. The girls and I had a memorable visit to the space centre in Washington in the early 80's and I can still remember the excitement of touching something that had been on the moon. So my card is a photograph that I altered in Craft Artist. My page was also made in Craft Artist using a digikit made by Digilicious "Red White and Blue".
This journey round the world is challenging but great fun. To see the work of the other travellers look here.

Dragon's Dream TIO # 119 - Don't Fear

My scary image is a photograph I took on a recent visit to Basel. It is a bronze in the Minster there. I used cut out studio in Craft Artist to remove the background of the photo and replaced it with a purple background. I cut the tag from this and added texture with a mask and Inky Black mister from Huey. I stamped my sprite twice once in I embossed with a Wow embossing powder to get an ethereal image, bottom right, and the other I embossed with Seafoam white. I can not remember where I bought the stamp unfortunately.

CD Sunday Challenge - Sketch

I have used the sketch to make a wedding card, requested by a friend. The topper and its mount are from Cameo cards way back when and I teamed it with paper from the Artylicious CD "Damask Delights". I added a strip of punched gold mirri card, some gold ribbon and pearls. Thank you for stopping by, all your comments are greatly appreciated.

Crafty Ann's Challenge #68 - Memories are Made of This

I used Crafty Ann's "Tempting Turquoise" kit and Add on pack to create my memories of New Zealand  12 by 12 scrapbook page. John and I spent a month there in 2010 and loved every minute of it. The views were spectacular. This is one of them. I created the page in Craft Artist. I used one photo of me, taking a photo, blended into one of the Tempting Turquoise pages to form the background. The lovely delicate vellum corner and frame are part of the digikit.
Do have a look at the memories of the rest of the design Team here and join in and let us see what your memories are made of.

On Our Travels with Darcy's Postcard Challenge - Australia

This week for the first time two of the three friends are travelling not together.
My Australia postcard was started in Serif's Craft Artist then through a mask I stamped the collage of Australia onto the map. The stamp is from Papermania. On my page the view is Uluru, Ayers Rock and I added a kangaroo and a Mimosa flower. This was my one of my Mum's favourite flowers, though she never travelled to Australia. My pocket is of course the flag.

CD Sunday - Delicious Damask

I have made a scrapbook page today using a photo I took recently in Switzerland. My background paper is from Artylicious CD Decadent Brocade and my flowers and frame are from "Romantic Autunm" a digikit by A-liya. I worked in Serif's Craft Artist and this is especially for Becky who is not very well at the minute.

Dragon's Dream TIO # 118 - Industrial Chic

I created the background for my tag in Craft Artist using a digikit from Sweet Madeline called "Flutterby Time". I used white acrylic to create an area for my stamp which is from Avant- Garde #1 by A Stamp in the Hand Co. The tag is distressed with DI Vintage Photo and I added three cogs and a chain from Tim Holtz.
Thank you for coming by to have a look, all your comments are much appreciated.
