Me & My Mum

Good morning - it's time to share my latest DT make for Polkadoodles  challenge, pop over to the blog to find out more details and to join in! The DT team love seeing your entries.

So we had this photo taken at my parent's Ruby Wedding anniversary meal and I love it, so it was a perfect choice for me to create a scrapbook layout for this challenge. I used the gorgeous Studio 12 Picknix collection 1 (mainly the home set). I took the images into Serif Craftartist to create this layout using background papers, embellishments (our fav things - coffee, cake & chocolate!) and a frame. I spent time digitally layering embellishments, adding shadows & effects. Once finished I saved it as a JPEG so that I can then print it out at my leisure to put into my memory book.

My mum hates having her photo taken so to get such a lovely one as this is a treasure!

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges -

Born on Christmas Day!

Exciting times, not long till the big man comes. I know I've been a good girl this year so I'm hoping for some lovely presents!

So today sees a new challenge over on the Polkadoodles blog and as always I'm here to share my DT project.

 As I have a friend with a birthday on Christmas day this challenge was perfect for me! I used the gorgeous images from Studio 12 - Picknix Garden collection and I created this topper in Serif Craft Artist where I used digital brushes to add snow over the images. Once printed off I added some sparkle to enhance the winter feel of it, and some ribbon too. Simple matting and layering finished it all off.

This was very easy to do, but I think it makes an effective card for a Christmas birthday!

Thanks for popping by, I will be offering some Candy in the New Year once I reached
