Introducing Digifiddle

DigiFiddle Images is a new design company started up by my on-line friend Anne Nelson.

She is putting together digikits and images to purchase in her on-line shop. I am lucky enough to have been asked to join Anne's Creative Team. Which is exciting as her stuff is so different to anything I've crafted with before.

Most of the artwork in Anne's kits is hand painted (digitally) by Anne from her own photos. This creates a completely new look to digital crafting. The images have a watercolour feel to them and her BG papers are stunning too.

The first kit I have used is A Fragrant Memory which is available on the DigiFiddle website. Please pop over and have a look at what Anne is doing. Her stuff is gorgeous. she is a very talented lady.

and this is the page I made :)

Zest!

This is the latest kit from Lynne-Marie and I love it. It's not often that I use such bright colours in my layouts, but I had no trouble with this!

This first layout is me and my friends trying to get a group selfie at my work leaving party. The bright zesty colours in the kit are perfect for the summer party atmosphere.

This layout features my niece a few years ago. Another summer evening party. This time my dad's 65th birthday. I've stuck with one colour for this, but think it's worked ok.

Saturday Spotlight Week 37

Welcome to The Saturday Spotlight!

This week's gorgeous page is 'Have Fun' by Barb  (rachelbm)

I just love the summery feel to this and the big photo as the background is so effective.

Love too the scattered layering and overall composition, Just a fab page Barb!

I have to also mention that Barb's gallery on Daisytrail is well worth a look. Some really inspirational layouts on there.

I am waiting to hear what kit Barb used. Will update when I know.

Thank you Barb x

Saturday Spotlight Week 36

Welcome to The Saturday Spotlight!

This week's page is 'Just Visiting' by Rosabelle (rosabelle 1944)

The picture on it's own is great and the way Rosabelle has framed it is just right. The photo is very much the main focus while the cluster of embellishments adds such a seaside feel. The embellishments have also given depth to the page which I love. 

Rosabelle used kits called Ocean Solace, coastal Style and By The Sea.

Thank you Rosabelle x

We Did It!

I am pleased to say that I have completed the race For Life ( for cancer research)

I jogged 5k along the sea front at Worthing, along side 2000 other women.

I hadn't run at all before January this year, but really liked the idea of getting fit enough to take part.

The atmosphere was absolutely amazing and I am so glad I did it. I ran with my friend, Lauren and stepdaughter Hollie. I am very proud of all 3 of us and it was a fantastic day.

So obviously I'm going to scrap about it! Here are 2 pages. The first one is using the kit 

A Story Of Friendship from Sahlin Studio. the second page uses a kit called Sun Bleached from Lynne-Marie
