Fab'n'Funky DT card

Who has been neglecting her blog then? Yes me - I have been so busy in the garden and helping Lynne get things prepared for Baby coming that I have been bad:(.  

I am so sorry if I haven't commented on your work this week but I promise I have been looking - just not enough hours in the day to comment on your all fab cards etc.

Haven't we had a gorgeous week weather wise too?  Hope its the same wherever you are in the world.

Onto my card for today - over at Fab'n'Funky this week we are sponsored by the ever so talented Joanna Sheen and our theme for this week is....

 EASTER

I was playing around with my Serif Craft Artist again and came up with this one - if you haven't already got CA then you must hop along and grab the freebie version - that's what I did and then became addicted very fast.

I actually added a wee bit of decoupage to give some dimension.  BTW have you tried the new Ferrero Eggs - wow they are divine!!

I am off the the midwife with Lynne very shortly but will come back later to edit this post in new interface to add some challenges.  How are you getting on with the new interface - I only started with it last night but am lost already - how do I edit posts etc?

Edited:~
Challenges I am entering this card into are:~
Paper Shelter Easter;
Crafty Sentiments Easter;
Lexi's Creations Easter and
Scrapbook Sisters Easter.

For those who are interested, Lynne's pregnancy is going great now - baby 2/5 engaged and facing correct way etc.  Getting so excited now as all her baby goodies are in her old room waiting for me to stroke them like I do my crafting goodies :)

Fab'n'Funky Honour Your Mum Challenge

Over at Fab'n'Funky this week we are sponsored by the fabulous Doodle Pantry and we were very kindly given images and sentiments to play with.

I imported my chosen ones into Serif and created a 5x5 card for my Mum to let her know we are thinking of her as usual.  She lives up in the NE of Scotland and we are in London so I send her a card every week - needless to say she has a massive box full of them.

The card was created by importing a photo from our recent break in the Yorkshire Dales (this is actually the Ribble Viaduct on one of our long walks) into Serif Craft Artist Pro then adding the ever so cute image from Doodle Pantry (aren't they simply adorable) and adding frames and embellishments digitally.  While I enjoy digital crafting to some extent I do miss touching papers etc but I will persevere with it as I have hundreds of photos I would like to journal and make into scrapbook pages for the future.


Do let me know what you think of this please - bad or good I am happy for your thought.
