LOL I should have posted this before Xmas but oh well!

Vera Lane Studio has a great **NEW** range of digis coming out in 2018 and this is a "taste" of the style of the digis in the "Arthur Avenue" range!! They are so fab - great to create with and of course nice and quirky!

I altered a 6 x 4 journaling card (polka dot background) - added a torn book page, some texture paste, washi tape, computer generated wording and of course the Xmas Tree Gal!! Can't wait to share more Arthur Avenue creations next year!

Merry Woofness!!!

Still catching up on blog posts and xmas themed creations LOL!!!

A couple of cute little pooch CAS style xmas cards! Digi stamps are from Vera Lane Studio of course!!!! This cute little dog is from the Holiday Doodle Bundle - FAB value for this set of 16 digis!! Sentiment is from the North Pole set - love the style of the writing.

I coloured the dog digis with Copic Markers and fussy cut and added to a textured white card that I splattered with gold paint. I added a piece of gold washi for the dogs to sit on and added the sentiment underneath. Too cute!!!

Better late than never LOL here are a couple of Xmas card using fab digis from Vera Lane Studio of course! These two little characters are just so gorgeous - great to colour and create with!

 

The gorgeous xmas elements were sent to me with an ATC trade from a fellow Vera Lane DT member and so I was excited to use them on these cards!

 



N is for Naughty Christmas.....

December 23rd 2017

I'm guest DT at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers for this new challenge - LOVED the theme and loved creating this journal page with collage elements by my fav Etsy store "Art Tea Life"!!!

Used some vintage circus images with added xmas hats to create these 3 "Ho's" LOL!!!! Santa sent them!!!! Background of the page is Christmas themed washi tape, gesso, gold paint, cotton, sequins and the computer generated wording.

Too much fun to create "naughty" Christmas creations - better than creating traditional I think!!! Hpe you get the humour!! There is plenty of time to enter the challenge over the xmas break - can't wait to see all the fun creations for this challenge!

Carol Singing....

December 23rd 2017
I have so many draft posts from this year I will never get them all posted before 2018 so I will have to make a effort at the start of next year to get all the draft posts published LOL!

I have some gorgeous Xmas Carolers cards to share today using gorgeous digis by Vera Lane Studio!

 

Base cards are 5 x 7 index cards with mixed media backgrounds. Digis are coloured with Copics and fussy cut. Just love these little cuties!!

I love the "olde" look of this one with the brown tones - something a bit different!

 

And of course I had to do a nice bright non traditional style one with pinks and oranges for fun!!! Sentiment is also by Vera Lane Studio.

Man's Best Friend......

December 13th 2017
Sharing a mixed media journal page for the current challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Blog "V is for Vegan" - a fun theme all about animals - obviously!!!!!!!!!!

This page was also created as part of my journaling "lessons" with Lisa Vollrath this year - had a lot of fun each month creating journal pages! this one was a "two" colour theme! I've used collage images from my most favourite Etsy Store "Art Tea Life" - I'm a huge dog lover so this sheet was just perfect for me to create with!

Journal page background was created using pages from an old puzzle book, plus sticky mesh, paint, stencil, washi tape, bit of muslin cloth, computer generated wording and of course the collage images!

 

Dog's are man's (and woman's) best friend!!!!!

Peace is Always Beautiful...

December 11th 2017

Sharing a mixed media journal page today using brand new digis by Vera Lane Studio - "Peaceful Picasso" set!

Background texture was made up with patterned serviette and washi tape plus texture paste through a stencil, water soluble crayons and some ink sprayed muslin cloth.

Digis coloured with Copic makers and fussy cut. Wording is also a part of the digi set available in the Etsy Store.

Steamy Pocket Letter...

December 9th 2017

Sharing a mixed media "Steampunk" Pocket Letter made for a swap and also to join the current "I is for Industrial" challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Blog!!!!

Collage "steampunk" digis are by Gecko Galz "Industrial Digital Stamps" - just love them and they were perfect for this pocket letter! Always so hard to photograph pocket letters with the shiny pockets!

I made the background with steampunk gears cut on my Cameo and adhered to a black card background. I added lots of metallic sprays and paints and then cut the 9 x ATC's to size for the pockets. Gecko Galz images were printed on kraft coloured paper and fussy cut and added to the backings with bits of muslin cloth and charms. I really love the colours and how it all turned out!

Xmas with Vera Lane Studio.....

December 1st 2017
today's post is a journal page made using a Sandra Caldwell digi for a recent Facebook challenge at Sandra's group!

I used a "mop up" page in my journal - the colours were perfect for the colours I wanted for the latte digi LOL!!! I love the texture and colours of the page.

 

Wonderland......

November 26th 2017

I never get bored with "Alice in Wonderland" images!! Here are3 x altered index cards using new "Wonderland" digis by Vera Lane Studio!!! 2 **NEW** Wonderland themed sets have been released this month and we have been having fun at the Facebook Group creating for this theme!

I have been "altering" 6 x 4 lined index cards using bits and pieces from all the sets - perfect with the png files - so easy to merge and create scenes!

I printed the journal pages from the Accessory set directly onto the index cards and then ink sprayed them and edged them with archival ink pads.

I coloured all the images with Copic markers and fussy cut. All the "wording" that I have added are Vera Lane digis too!

Too much fun colouring and creating with these digis!!
