Writing this post from the new family Mac.

Not sure how this will go. Have never really used a Mac before...we fancied a change and were impressed in the shop by the look and feel of the Mac. It has a 27 inch monitor too, which is cool! I'm going to try to post a picture later.

CDAC Progressive Freebie Challenge- Entry 2 -Sandisample- teapot

I haven't had a chance to do much in the way of paper craft for the last week or so, as we have been away in Scotland. Had a great time at the Edinburgh Festival.

This card is my second entry to the CDAC Progressive Freebie Challenge. This time I have used the digi kindly provided by Sandi, thanks Sandi! I want to use the teacup one too if I have the time!

For this card I used various papers from my stash and my trusty Promarkers. then I traced the image onto shrink plastic to create a sort of pendant charm of a teapot, and tied it on with a piece of pale pink ribbon. I hope that you like it!

My entry for the CDAC Progressive Freebie Challenge 1 cdacpc1 (tag ds4j)

Well, I've never used a digi stamp before, but I was invited to take part in this challenge by the wonderful ladies at CDAC, and thought that I would give their freebie stamps a go before I commit myself to the purchasable ones. The artists over there are willing to share their talent and art for free, and I thought it would be rude of me not to join in the fun! If you hurry on over you can sign up too till 31st August, and it's all free!!

THANK YOU TO ALL ARTISTS FOR SHARING THEIR WORK!!!

I have added an embellishment which I made with a rubber stamp from Waltzing Mouse Stamps, and I hope that doesn't disqualify this entry?! I was pleased with the result, and will be using more of the CDAC free stamps this month...you are allowed to enter up to 18 times this month! So here's my card using the little chef image from Jenlee'n (ds4j)

I used my Letraset promarkers to colour his face and hands, and to add some shadow. I paper pieced his checked trousers and coordinated his hat!

I thought that he was very cute, and think that he would make lovely cards for lots of occasions.

More digi based projects to follow!
