Create & Craft Shows this week....

Good Evening Everyone

I hope the miserable weather hasn't drained all your crafty mojo!

I, personally, make the most of the bad weather by getting loads of crafting done! 

It's the best time to craft because we're not looking outside at lovely sunshine wishing we were out in it! lol

Anyhoo,

I'm just popping this post on to let you know that I am back on Create and Craft with Serif this week.. :-)

Thursday 14th at 12noon and 5pm

I can say that these brand new digikits are by a BRAND NEW designer and she is soooo talented!

I love the kits already!

It's a bonus for me, getting them sooner lol!

I'm just playing (I mean working) with them now, prepping my shows and I am spoilt for choice!

I'll tell you more about this fabulously talented lady on the shows!

Hope you can watch!

Happy Crafting!

Create & Craft Shows...

Good Morning Everyone

I now have my show times for my fabulous Serif Pick of the Day next Tuesday!

I am soooo excited to show you these kits, each and every one is beautiful in it's own right and I just know that they will have your creative juices flowing and those crafty fingers itching to get started!

I know that there are lots of new Serif Craft Artist Professional users out there because you all grabbed it when it was free recently! So I will make sure I spend time showing the basic tools and then the more advanced, so it's a good idea to record some of the shows so you can watch back...

I also have a couple of Hunkydory shows on Monday too! I'm covering whilst Anne-Marie is swanning about in Florida on her honeymoon... I know she'll be loving it and I'm not jealous at all (well, maybe a bit! lol)

Anyhoo, here are my show times... Wednesday is a bit confusing so I'll try and do it the easy way! lol

Monday 14th - 5pm and 7pm on Create & Craft with Hunkydory

Tuesday 15th - Serif POD Launch at 9pm and then 11pm on Ideal World

Wednesday 16th - Serif POD 8am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm (last chance) on Ideal World

Wednesday 16th - Serif POD 12noon, 3pm, 5pm on Create & Craft

Hopefully, I'll see you there!

Remember to email in to say Hi... I will give something away at the end of the pod... probably a collection of some of my samples and I'll be sure to sign them for you lol x

Here are a couple of layouts I've done as samples, to give you a taste of what's to come :-)

Happy Crafting!

New Scrapbook Page...

Good Evening Everyone

I thought I'd share this scrapbook page with you...

The photo is my favourite one from a whole load (that will no doubt be scrapped soon) that were taken on one of the Formal Nights when we were on our Hawaii'n cruise...

I have also used this photo to create a 3d frame (like the ones I do with Tilda and Edwin) as a gift to my partner for his birthday last week... believe me, it took ages to get it 'just right' ... even down to moving the little ink spots on the page so they were right! lol

I also made a co-ordinating card to go with it :-)

I may even show you one day, but at the mo, it's for him to enjoy :-)

I love sharing my Craft Artist Pro scrapbook pages with you and it humbles me when so many of you have sent me messages to say I have helped you to start scrapping your memories and treasured photos :-)

I have used elements from several Digikits, but let me know if you want to know where any of the bits came from lol

Anyhoo, here it is... I hope you like it :-)

Happy Crafting!

Another New Scrapbook Page ...

Evening All

As promised, here is another scrapbook page created in Craft Artist Pro for you....

This time, I have gone for a completely different colour scheme and 'feel' of the page... and this is an A4 page :o)

The photo was from a visit To Skye (loved it) and yes, it was bliddy freezing!

I have used the Rustic Charm Digikit which I believe is still available on Daisytrail.... well worth getting this one, the colours are beautiful!

Remember, if you want to add me as a friend on Daisytrail, just search on there for me.. phillmmartin 

Anyhoo

Here it is... hope you like it :o)

Happy Crafting!

New Scrapbook Page...

Afternoon Everyone

Just thought I'd pop a photo on here for you of another Scrapbook page I made using Serif Craft Artist Pro.

Hopefully, if I keep adding pages now and again, it will give you some ideas for layouts and colour themes etc..

Anyhoo, this one was created using the Sahlin Studios 'Life's a Beach' Digikit...

I've used various tools to create this page, stencil, shadow, transparency, recolour, photolab, scissors, brush tool for the faux stitching and so on...

The faded photo behind us is one we took on Waikiki beach :-)

Hope you like it :-)

Happy Crafting!

Another scrapbook page ...

Evening All

I've been asked to put a few more of my scrapbook pages on my blog that I made using serif craft artist pro to (hopefully) give you some ideas :o)

So here's a couple more for you to look at...

If you want to know which digikits I used, give me a shout 

Happy Crafting!

Scrapbook Page :o)

Good Evening All

I was just going through my computer (as you do) and found this scrapbook page that I made using my Craft Artist Pro and thought I'd share it with you...

I made it in the A4 size option, which I love as they are a little bit different to the traditional 8x8 and 12x12 ones we get so easily.

This page was created using a photo from when my friends and I went to Ascot last year... I think I showed it on Create and Craft when I did a Serif show recently....

The Digikit I used was one of the American Crafts ones (The Classics) as I thought it suited the occasion! 

Although I did bring lots of elements in from other kits too lol

The leaves were created using the stencil feature.

Anyhoo, let me know what you think :o)
