Crafting With Jack Blog

Last, but not least! My cheeky grand daughter who is starting to be a lot of fun!!

These are my weeks photographs for the "Photograph a Day" challenge at Pixelscrapper, For the most part I was taking photographs to make into elements.

You can see two photographs of the hall floor and the kitchen floor. The top paper is made from the kitchen floor photograph , the bottom paper is made from the hall floor photograph. The paper inbetween is made from a photograph of my daughter's wallpaper!! (Which was cream) The horse is also from her house! I have been round there quite a bit this week! The top preview shows a dandelion that I took a picture of, I gave up trying to totally extract it! I couldn't manage to extract the seeds either so I used an image from the Net as an overlay on the one I took.

The Alopecia Blogtrain starts tomorrow, you will find my portion here

I am so behind this week! This is my preview for the Alopecia Areata Awareness Blog Train later this month.

And this preview is for week 3 for Pixelscrappers Element a Day Challenge.

There were not any takers for the Retro papers so I decided not to upload the second half. Instead today I am giving you two wild flower freebies from the Briggs collection.

Hopefully I will be back tomorrow with this weeks Photograph a Day selection. Hope you have a great weekend.

Violets Freebie and free papers too.

15/05/2013

Sometime ago I took part in "Retro" blogtrain with Pixelscrapper. Since doing my course I have learnt a lot more so I have redone these papers, from A4 to !2 x 12 and I have given them a texture. Four are available to download here go to the Retro Spoons Page. I am going to put up another 4 towards the end of the week.

I am participating in another blog train with Pixelscrapper "Pond Life" I am finding it very hard to stay with the colours set.

Here is a pretty Violet plant for you. Another in the Briggs series. I do love to see the delicate violets in the garden.

New Elements and a freebie.

New Papers and a new freebie

29/04/2013

The April "Paper A Day" challenge at Pixelscrapper is nearly over. One of the challenges was to use Fine Art as inspiration. In a very roundabout way I used George Stubbs painting of horses. I say roundabout because it inspired me to do a horsey one and I looked through my horse folder and found a black and white sketch from a story book on Gutenberg. I really like how this one worked out. The next two papers we could choose our own theme. I found two great woodcuts on vintageprintables.com and used these as the bottom layer of my papers. You will find your freebie here
