Computer Geek?

Hi Everyone, my DT post today is for

https://themaleroomchallengeblog.blogspot.com/

With so many of the males of the family interested in computing, I thought this may apply to one of my brothers, seeing as they are, shall we say, elderly?

I was looking through my files for computing and came across a card I did in 2013 for my son, I love "IT Ian," I also liked the colour combination and papers so why not make another card with him and the papers, YEP! I cased my own card. 

Here is the cased card.

IT Ian - Dr Digi coloured in Photoshop CS6

his top paper - Just So Scrappy

background paper -  Booland Designs

background card - Dovecraft

sentiment - computer generated, with amalgamated jokes off the web -

sentiment background - Jessica Dunn Pixelscrapper

 I hope you "get" the joke LOL

Birthday Tweetings

Hi Everyone, for me, it's that time of the week when I add a card to The Outlawz sketch challenge. I think this is a lovely sketch although it is an old one (from March 2017) I think. A favourite and chosen by Lynn, I'm so glad she chose it. 

I had bought a new digi kit this week, only because I loved the colours AND it was a special price, AND patterned papers were a bonus, I HAD to buy it, we have to take advantage of offers don't we? 

Here's my card.

A Mermaid!

Hi Everyone, last week I was asked if I would like to join the DT at Through The Craft Room Door , would I? - of course I would, as eventually, when I can concentrate! I'll be able to make tutorials of cards I make with all details, that means all the supplies used and the way it was made. This is already available with Super card projects in the online Magazine. Teaser on my side bar.

Purrfect! 50th birthday

Hi Everyone, I though I would give you an update of my Son's health scare before showing you my card of today. The update is, he was given 100mg tablets to be given twice a day in February, he has control of his medicines and after another less severe incident on Thursday we spoke about them as his blood test in hospital had shown a high raised level. It seems he has been given 200mg by the Pharmacy and instructions 1 twice a day, he hadn't realised and so has been taking a double dose, for how long we don't know. The Pharmacy hadn't informed us of the change, I rang the GP and he arranged for my son to have a blood test before taking any more of the tablets. He still isn't that well, but at least we know the reason, hopefully. The lesson learned, ALWAYS read the dosage and instructions on your medicines and don't assume you are having the same as always.

On to my card for today. I wanted a 50th birthday card for a friend, it had to have a cat on it. I came up with this. As it is lilac season, (ours are still in bloom - just!) I used paper and lilacs from a digi kit and made a corner from them and other elements in the kit. The cat is one I had in a blog train in 2013, I've never used it, it is a perfect match methinks!.

I designed and laid out the the different elements in Photoshop using Garamond Italic font that, I thought, matched the cat's tail. I altered the colour of the cat just a shade or two to match the paper. I printed the front out and saved the corner layout and the cat with an extra head! as a PNG file and sent it to my Silhouette, have I told you I LOVE the Print and Cut feature. I then did the inside to match the outside. The recipient has an aversion / phobia to glitter so I couldn't add any, but I think the colours don't really need any. Quite simple, but I love those lilacs and the cat.

90th Birthday

Hi Everyone, just a quickie so that I can let you know I am still here.

This is a 90th birthday card for a friends Mother, the DP and hearts are from the Impressions Digi kit by Booland Designs, the lace is a Miriam freebie, the flower is from a digi kit Grandmother's Garden by Prairie Song Scraps.  I grouped the individual flowers and leaves by Aimee Harrison, Booland Designs and Prairie Song Scraps, into a corner layout, printed them out twice and layered them onto the already printed background.  All done in Photoshop.
