Dragonsdream TIO #121 - Alice and the Rabbit Situation

This tag represents the situation at Redmoss right now - we have had a huge explosion in the rabbit population and I wish I had a wand like Alice to make them go away!  There are dozens of tiny little bunnies hopping about in the evening and early morning eating all my flowers.

The large rabbit and the smaller bunnies are digis from FreeVintageDigiStamps (see sidebar)and I have played with them in Craft Artist.  Alice and the wording are from Clear Art Stamps.  Alice has been stamped, coloured with Copics, cut out and added to the scene.

Thanks for stopping by and do feel free to leave a comment.

CD Sunday Challenge - Sketch

The card this week is for  my John's birthday, next month.  He has promised not to look before then.  I never know when I will have time to make a 'special' card as we are always so busy around here in the summer and then I am so tired in the evenings and usually fall asleep in front of the television!
The tractor is from StampsAway Vintage Transport sheet 2 and has been watercoloured with Distress Inks. The Kraft card panel has been embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder, then roughly heat embossed with antique gold embossing powder and then wiped over with Forest Moss Distress Ink.  The backing paper is from Serif's Cocoa Latte kit and printed out in Craft Artist.  The pennants are from an On The Edge die.  For the card candy I have used eyelets and laced linen thread through them on the top left.  I also added a lovely insert from Joanna Sheens Past Times CD, in the farming theme.
I hope I have met with the sketch challenge - I normally avoid them at all costs, but I needed to make this card today!

Postcard Travels with Roland Poland - Week 24 Italy

Xui has travelled to Italy to see about providing funding for the repair of the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain.

Roland Poland has gone to see the fountain and writes ...

Hi Malcolm,

I don't know what all the fuss is about the cost

of repairing this fountain.

I have been diving down to the bottom and

collecting some of the money thrown in by the

tourists, and you know what, Malcolm?  They are

throwing more in every day.

Anyone else for a big ice cream?

RP

Here are the pages in his travel book.

I have included RP's favourite photo of an Italian Greyhound.  He very much admires their ability at a quick getaway.  The main image is a vintage poster of Amalfi  from Vintage Feedsacks (link in sidebar) and we have also included a photo of the genius Giacomo Puccini, the Vitruvian drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, a photo of the Colosseum and some lemons. (all photos from Wikipedia}. Also a label from some pasta!

My postcard this week was made in Craft Artist, using Wikipedia photos and then overstamped with an Italian collage stamp from Papermania.

Thank you for continuing to follow our journey around the world and hope you will have a look at  the postcards from fellow travellers  on Darcy's Postcard Challenge(link in sidebar).

CD Sunday Challenge - Ring a Roses

I designed my 6 x 6 card in Craft Artist, as I am away visiting friends this week.  The kit I used is designed by Shelley Marie.  This is my first Craft Artist card and took me ages!

Thank you for stopping by and do feel free to leave a comment - I find them very encouraging.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Dogs

Well, this is a first for me.  I don't know exactly what I did but here is my first digital scrapbook page made in Craft Artist using American Crafts Paper Town digi kit.
The subjects are our two German Shepherd bitches, Heidi and Lottie.  At the time they were coming up to 5 months old, they are now 7 months old and much, much bigger.  I wanted to convey the total chaos that they have caused in our household!
I want to thank my friend Jen for all the encouragement and help she has given me in the digital  scrapbooking department.  I know I need lots more!
