Digital Art Papers

Well here is my first post for 2012, I must admit I did fall behind with posting here during December as Christmas got a hold of me with endless preperations and last minute plans for family to come and stay over during the festive period and I am sure it has been the same for a majority of us women lol. I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and wish you all a happy new year, but alas now it is time to get back to normal and start catching up again, so my fairy wand has been put away for another year.

I have a small freebie for all my readers today to start of the new year, nothing to elaborate as I ease back into the swing of it, just a small tag I made from my new art paper set. Perfect for all your vintage or love pages, with valentines day soon to be here I have plans to develop these papers into a mini love kit.



these papers are so pretty if you like vintage you are gonna love these and they are in my shop now at Digi Sisters



and here is your freebie download link 

Hope you are all enjoying what is left of the weekend and i will catch up with you very soon!

Three Days Of Freebies

Hi all, sorry for keeping you all waiting for the last three days but things are getting hectic around here, so much to do I wish I could just work round the clock at the moment. Well we are in the last run of this challenge and only have 6 more days left. So I would like to say a big thank you to all those who have taken the time out to leave me some kind comments and thank you's, it is very much appreciated. The next 6 day's will be devoted to add some more paper sto the kit as that is what is now lacking, besides the fact I am running low on idea's for more elements.  I have received several idea's for the naming competition and will be drawing the winner on Saturday, those that have offered more than one name will be entered in the hat for each name suggested which means more opportunity to be a winner.

ok here are the last thre days for you to download....

Day Twenty Two  - Ribbon Wrap



If you would also like to download the journal mat visit the post here


Day Twenty Three - Floral Clip





Day Twenty Four - Crossed Laces

Morning everyone, I have a set of heart shaped trinket boxes for you today, I have applied three different styles for to choose from a glossy varnish look, cracked antique look and a crinkled look. I have a spelling mistake on the preview for trinket but don't have the time to go back and correct it, so just ignore that one lol, maybe if I had not mentioned you would not notice, but that's me will own up to anything! Don't you just hate it when you have completed everything zipped it all up and uploaded only to find there is a nagging tiny error, oh well that's life I guess.

Day Fifteen - Vintage Postcards

I thought I would share some info about the paper I created on yesterday's freebie as one of the ladies who downloaded it recognised some the names. I have a picture of my great grandmdother which has some lovely artwork on the backside which was my inspiration for yesterdays paper. I have been trying to find out some history about the photographers Williams & Williams without much success, but I do know that this picture is likely to be over 100 years old!

  




















I have a small colection of vintage postcards which have been kept in the family bible and I have decided to share a few of these with you in today's freebie, I do hope you will find a use for them in your scrapbooking or craft work.

A few photo's of the bible where I found the postcards


Sarah An Speed is the lady in the photo above.


There is a total thirteen children !!

I dont have a photo of the cover of my bible and another family member has it at the moment, but here is an exact photo of the one I own.





Now for today's preview and freebie link.....

Day Six Freebie - Vintage Pocket Watch

Hi all another lovely day and I have your next freebie but first of all I would like to say to you all a very big Thank You for your support and I really appreciate you visiting everyday to pick up my freebies and leave me your lovely comments, it makes me very happy and all the work worth while, thank you to you all.

Today I have a vintage pocket watch and even though I say it myself the end result was pretty amazing it almost looks real as if I have photographed it but apart from the chain, which is taken from my grandfathers pocket watch that I own, the watch itself was made from scratch. The frame around the  watch I created using some filters to get the gold black effects and the watch face was made using some blending modes and crack brushes, it kind of has a cracked mother of pearl look, it is amazing what you can do in photoshop, dont you think?  So all in all I was kind of pleased with this one too and I hope you are.

I will be making some papers over the next couple of days though as I need something to use when creating some more elements, I also have some tags in the making. I thought you might like to see the colour palette that I am using, mainly on the papers, so you can have a peek at that below along with a scrap page I have created using the kit so far. Dont forget to send me a link to view your scrap pages too, I would lurveeeeee to see what you create with it and more than happy to display your pages here on my blog too.

Another reminder about the competition I mentioned yesterday, I am looking for some help choosing a name for the kit and the winner will receive a gift voucher to spend at Loucee Creations store. All you need to do is leave a comment stating your chosen name and the winner will be drawn on the 6th August, I think I said the 6th, just check yesterday's post as I have a touch of memory loss this morning lol.






and the colour palette
