http://pattiescreationschallenge.blogspot.ca

Hello there folks! I hope that each of you is continuing to stay healthy in your own little corner of this world!

I'm popping in today to announce the next challenge over at Pattie's Creations Design Challenge. This time around for Challenge #188, the theme is Anything Goes. I took the opportunity to make a card for my hubby. I've left the inside empty so can I adjust it later--i.e. for anniversary, or general love, etc.
 
General Project Info:
  • This card has been created 100% digitally and then layered in a Mock Up (courtesy of Frisk Shop). It will be printed out and assembled prior to dissemination.

Digital Images Details:
  • Latte Love can be found in Pattie's Etsy shop. This image was coloured in digitally using digital colouring and paper piecing. Credits include:
    • the lids of the cups were altered with a layer style from Heather Green, HG Designs. The colour was changed to suit the project.
    • I have used a textured paper to digitally paper piece the coffee cups. I have used a textured overlay from Sheila Reid, Pixel Scrapper, to create this paper. 
    • The corrugated cardboard used to create the insulated holding area of the cup was purchased from Design TNT via Inky Deals. The colour was altered to suit the project.
    • The little hearts were created with a brush purchased from Julia Khimich Design via Pixelo.
 
Digital Embellishments:

      Freebie Alert: A Special Anniversary Celebration

      Today marks another very special day in the Décosse household. Exactly 30 years ago today, I walked down the aisle and met the love of my life at the alter. There, we exchanged vows and pledged to love each other for always. Our life together hasn't always been easy. In fact, it seems that there have been more downs than ups some years. However, through it all, we haven't wavered in our commitment to each other.

      Unfortunately, it is the end of tax season up here in Canada and since my hubby is a Tax Professional he is hard at work until around 9:00 p.m. tonight. Thus, we are not going to get to spend too much time together today. Hopefully though, we'll be able to go out and celebrate this coming weekend instead.

      So given that I won't be able to spend time with my hubs until later this evening, I spent this afternoon creating a digital paper to share with you all in honour of this special occasion! Of course, now I am behind in six other important things on my 'to do' list but I neglected you all so bad last year, I'm trying hard to make it up this year!

      Below is a preview of what the paper looks like…


      I thought this symbol of two intertwined hearts was the perfect symbol for a paper honouring our anniversary! This digital paper is 3600 x 3600 pixels, in jpg format and published at 300 dpi. I've used resources from Vectorious (purchased through Inky Deals) and Marisa Lerin (Pixel Scrapper). To grab it, click the download button to be taken to a download location. In the zip folder you will find a copy of the paper, its preview sheet, the full credit information and my terms of use which are standard to all my folders.

      That is it for today but I'll be back on Friday with my post for the latest challenge over at Pattie's Creations.

      Until that time,

      Card Design: Scribbles Designs Challenge #44 Midway Point...Mason Jars


      Hello and happy September 1st! It is time for the midway for the latest Scribbles Designs Challenge to get started. While I normally don't have the time to create regularly for the challenge any more, I did have a fun idea I wanted to share this month.


      There are two whole weeks left for you to come on over and enter. In case you've missed it, the theme this time around for Challenge #44, is Mason Jars! Whether you are wishing someone a happy birthday, saying thanking you or simply saying hello, mason jar cards or creations featuring mason jar images, seem to be very popular. Even brides and grooms are getting in on the act creating mason jar 'save the date' notices and even using them for wedding invitations. This challenge we want to see a creation featuring a mason jar of some sort. Whether you leave the jar image empty or fill it up with goodies, it is completely up to you. Mason jars are great for any reason or for any season so there are a variety of ways you can go! We look forward to seeing your interpretation of the theme!

      Entering is super simple! You do not need to use a Scribbles Designs image; however, if you do, your name gets entered into the draw twice. You can purchase your Scribbles Designs images HERE or you can also find one for a limited time on the challenge blog HERE. Also, be sure to check out our special Freebie Friday posts as it is another great way to build your Scribbles Designs collection. You can find the rest of the rules and information regarding winners in the sidebar on the challenge blog. You have until 9pm PST on September 14th to come over and play with us.
