Challenge 1 of the Amazing Digi Scrapping Race - and sad news for me!

With much anticipation I waited for Monday morning to come to see what the challenge would be, and was amazed to see I was the first in line! You can see Bon's and my LO HERE.
I am sad to announce that Nicole Haecker has stopped designing, so I am no longer on her CT. So I am CT hunting, I am looking for just one more to complete me, someone who does bright funky stuff!!

LO of the day at Digiscrapshak- WOW!!

I can hardly believe that one of my LO's made LO of the day again at Digiscrapshak, and again using Nicole Haecker Designs! You can have a look at her designs in her shoppe at Pocket-Pearls.

Exciting news- or are we crazy!!??

Bonnie, my sister, and I are both rather impulsive, and sometimes do things without really thinking it through! Well, we've done it again! We decided in one day to join the Amazing Digi Scrapping Race, set up our blog, and are rearing to go! It will be a first for us, so I don't think we have any idea what it entails, but we are doing it for the fun of it! Have any of you ever done it, please give us a hint as what to expect!?
Please visit our blog "Sistas in da Digihood" and give us some support!! Tee Hee
Love you all for the great comments on my blog!
And come on - join us!!!!!!

LO of the day at Digiscrapshak!!!!!

I was completely shocked, amazed, flabbergasted,excited and thrilled to hear this LO had made LO of the day at Digiscrapshak!!! It did take me all day to do, as I did a tut on extracting an image, normally I would just manually cut it out with the freehand selection tool! So I learnt how to extract today- YAY!! This is my middle son, Tristan.

New CT, new designs, new LO's and.... a new freebie!!

First of all,thanks so much for all your lovely comments on my collage. I may even attempt a few more:) I have had a chaotic couple of weeks, as we are renovating our house at the moment, or should I say we have been for 7 years, but are now seriously trying to complete it. As hubby works, I have the wonderful job of running around ordering building material, seeing to quotes, supervising builders etc, and it is taking up so much of my time. I treasure every second I can sit in front of my PC lately!

I have been loving my Photoshop lessons, and the little freebie below is made up of a few things I have done in Photoshop. I also have a new baby in my life- Corel Painter 8 and a pen mouse, what a fantastic combination. For those who love drawing and art, this is a must! The possibilities are endless, from glitter and fairydust, to doodling with all sorts of mediums. I could play all day. I did the doodles and papers in my freebie with it as well.

And I am on another CT, I decided one more would complete my life and went to the CT calls in the forum at Digishoptalk (if any of you want to apply for a CT, that's the place to go!) and went through quite a few before seeing Nicole Haecker Designs, her designs are gorgeous and just my "thing", so I applied, and was really surprised and excited to be told she wanted me!!

Here is the first LO I have done using her oh so pretty painted paper flowers. You can get them in her shoppe at Pocket- Pearls HERE,as well as her her other fab stuff! The glitter and doodles were done in Corel Painter!! I may just surprise you (and myself) and do some glittery doodley freebies!!

I am loving my other new CT, Metalmamadezines!! Her designs are me to a T. I have such fun scrapping with her stuff!

She has just released these Funkified Frames in her shoppe at Miss Tiina. I just love them!!

And this is my first LO using the frames!

And another one using some more of her awesome designs!

And this one was done for my sister, Bonnie van Esch Designs with her new kit, Handmade Cheer, available at Snap&scrap. She will be releasing 2 more awesome kits (I have had a sneak preview!) at the end of the month. All I will tell you is they are completely unique and FUN!!

And last, but hopefully not least, here is the freebie. It contains 4 papers, 2 with a torn paper look ( thanks to the awesome templates of Annetje77), 2 pairs of fluffy wings which I did quite by accident using fur in PSP, a sticker flower, 2 doodle crowns, wordart, stamp and some vector flowers I made in one of my lessons:) All 3600 x 3600, 300 dpi. The papers are "fingerpainted" in Corel Painter. I hope you like it, and thanks for continuing to be my guinea pigs in this learning process!!
