My first digi creation

I have had fun doing this, but I can't wait for toni's classes! I tried digi scrapping years ago and wasn't all that impressed, but with the stuff out today its great. It will be really good to learn how to use it all. Come on girls and join the class. If you don't have Photoshop, you can download a free trial from errr .... somewhere. I'll check that for you. BRB.

Actually you can download a free 30 day trial from www.adobe.com.

Another new one ...

The Singing Ship in Emu Park. Doug's sister and hubby came to stay with us when we were living in Gladstone and we took them sight seeing one day. I loved the Singing Ship, the coast is quite windy there and it really does sing in the wind.

Here are two cards I made today with the loo paper embellishments.

Another wet day ....

Been raining pretty much non-stop since Saturday night. Got a new garden built on Saturday, and bought heaps of plants yesterday, which haven't been planted yet because of the weather.
I am taking the dog to the vet again today, in Innisfail today, so I hope its not too wet. Nothing else planned so hopefully will get some scrapping done.

Been playing today .....

I've been playing today with ... wait for it ... loo paper! The blue overall pattern is a rubber stamp, image upright, then layer toilet paper on top, wetting each layer as you go, and pressing it onto the stamp. I used about 6 layers of paper. Then with wadded up handtowel or similar, press down very firmly on the stamp and paper to remove as much water as possible. Leave the paper on the stamp for a while, then remove gently and lay aside to dry. I sprayed the blue with glimmer mist. The fish, flower and heart, I inked the stamp first with Brilliance ink, then used the steps above. The palm tree, I tried tombow markers and it didn't work very well so I coloured it after it was dry with the markers. Now I need to come up with a layout to use one and see how it looks.
WARNING: I've been reminded that this is not acid free, please don't use them near your photos or spray them with archival mist before you do. Thanks for the reminder Maree.

Kate's Christmas pic

I love this photo of Kate and when I saw it I knew the quote I wanted to use. I did the LO weeks ago, but only just did the quote, so its almost finished now. I want to get a new white pen and put 2008 in the bottom left of the photo.
