Madame Butterfly and her Mosaic Garden.

Two pages to share with you today,

first of all for 

  Take a Word where  the theme is Butterflies.

I made this  digital collage  page in my Craft Studio program, layering up backgrounds and images

from Mischief Circus kits,  Dezinaworld and my own found ones.

.................................................

.

It won't be long now hopefully until we can see the butterflies in our gardens.

So another page where I'm sure the butterflies would enjoy living.

Made in the same craft program and creating a Mosaic pattern so I can

join Pippa at Mosaic Weekly 

Thank you for stopping by to see me today. I always appreciate the comments you leave for me.

Just Friends for TioT's

'Add a Quote'......

is the challenge theme starting today over at Try it on Tuesdays.

Please pop over for all the details and see what we have all been making this time. 

We hope you will come and join us.

On the left  is a photo of my original card. A single layer for easier posting. It had a Brusho sprinkled background and the images are Paper Artsy stamps which I water coloured.

So as you will have guessed my  page has been added to with a few digital bits and pieces which  gave me more room to add a longer  quote. The background was an embossed  and coloured in my Craft Studio.

Thank you for calling to see me today. I always appreciate the comments you leave for me.

Happy Easter and a Woodland Easter egg hunt for AJJ

Happy Easter 

 to all my friends out there in Blogland.

A hybrid page starting out with an embossed painted base layer.

I used this layer from my art journal next.
 I have a photo taken at this stage before it was completed, so I could use it on my hybrid pages, altering the colour shades

 to suit the page.

The early stages of making a  'just for you'  card, came next. I have just got my hands on a set of Tim Holtz Wild flowers stamps and was needing to ink some up. I have a pile of inked and splashed papers waiting to be used. 

So after the layering, I added a few elements of my own and from  Mischief Circus.

By the time I was taking this photo the light was realy poor, but this is the  resulting card I made. Adding a  some quilling flowers and  stamped fussy cut leaves.

If you go down to the woods today....

hosted by Chris

I hope little Eva finds all the chocolate eggs hidden in the wood today.

She is even whispering in Mr Rabbbit's ear,  for clues, where should she   look next.

Thank you for stopping by today, and for looking at what I have been making.

The comments you leave for me are always very much appreciated.

Spring Equinox

Over at Take a Word, this weeks theme is the

Spring Equinox, so I assembled this page with that theme in mind.

Using images from Mischief Circus kits and some of my own, this is the base layer, embossed and coloured with distress inks.

I used my Craft Studio to create the layering of this page.

Thank you for stopping by to see me today. I always appreciate the comments you leave for me.

I have been having a marathon day with digital pages, there is another one here  on my other newer blog.

If you have time I would love you to stop by

She wants to Dance

Elsie would love to be a famous Ballerina when she grows up.

She even has her favourite dancer framed on  the wall in the barn, the place she can be in her own
Make Believe world and dance for her audience of  furry friends.

These two digital pages were created in my Craft Studio, using  a mixture of my own/found
and Mischief Circus kits.

Elsie is dancing her way over to the
  Three Muses Challenge
 where this weeks theme is, 'Dance'.

Thank you for calling in to see me today. I always appreciate the comments you leave for me

For you

Today I am sharing a card with you, made using a Tim Holtz paper stack.

I stopped buying papers nearly two years ago and still the pile never seems to get smaller.

I made a textured base, using an embossing folder and spray inks, then layered it up distressing the edges with the old blunt scissors,

I even fussy cut  a piece to add interest to the bottom corner.

As yet there is no sentiment, this way it could be used for any  occasions,

 when I need a card ready and waiting..

It is the second week of the current challenge at Try it on Tuesdays,

and the Top 5 winner from the last challenged will be announced there  today.

Thank you for calling to see what I have been making

, I always appreciate the comments you leave for me.

Elsa and George

A visit to the dark side today and a trip into the woods....

For Art Journal Journey

where,  Chris is hosting this months theme of...

If you go down to the woods today....

Elsa is not best pleased with the evening walk going through the dark woods.

George dear--''-I'm scared , Its too dark in here''

His reply to this,  was to say, ''Elsa my love, don't be frightened,

 there is nothing to worry about here. I'll look after you''.

Typical man,
 can he not see the ghost in the trees and the scary black cat.
even the birds look  menacing  in the trees.

A digital page made using images from Dezinaworld , Mischief Circus and some of my own.

Thank you for stopping by to see what I have been making.
