TGF CHA Relay and an award

The Greeting Farm have a great competition going on while they are at CHA. Each day they are giving a free digi image to work with. You have to complete a project with the image, post it to their gallery by 6pm EST, and then link it on their blog to get the next image. All the details are HERE.

The first image was Mer Ian


Because I don't have the correct printer (roll on my birthday!!) I had to heat emboss the images before colouring them with distress inks.

On this card I made little circles with buttons to resemble waves/water. Ingenious idea, right?? .. Well it wasn't my idea, lol. My good friend Dee Dee used this last year on a commissioned mini album and when I saw Mer Ian it was the first thing that popped into my mind.  So thank you Dee2 for one of your many wonderful ideas :)

My papers are from the Planes and Trains collection by G.C.D Studios and I followed the sketch on Creative Inspirations. I printed out the sentiment. The twine and buttons are from my stash.

Monday's image was Charlotte


Ugh, I don't know what's up with my camera but this is dull, dull, dull compared to IRL. Maybe it needs to be cleaned.. hmmm.
 
These papers are from We R Memory Keepers "Madame Royale". I sanded the edges and then inked them with Vintage Photo. Did a little bit of ripping too. I added some pearls and cherry blossoms and finished with printing and embossing my sentiment.

This has been uploaded to TGF Gallery and have just recieved my 3rd image to work on :) Boy are they fast!!

I was given this lovely award by Heather and now have to share 10 things that give me pleasure with you all before passing it onto 10 other bloggers.



So here goes....
  1. Being with my family
  2. Enjoying the company of friends
  3. Being a SAHM 
  4. Seeing my kids smile
  5. Crafting, especially colouring images. I find it sooooo theraputic
  6. Blogging, and all the great friends I've made
  7. Listening to music
  8. Photographs -I love looking through people's photos
  9. Going out 
  10. Not having to get up early on weekend mornings!!!!!

And the 10 bloggers I'd like to pass it on to are


There are about 1000 other people I could give it to but the rules state 10.

Wow, I started this blog post over 4hrs ago and between tending to the kids and doing the school runs I am only now finishing it... yikes!! Have a great Tuesday - well what's left of it anyway :)

Love how you used the water buttons. That merman is so cute, and definitely needs some waves. I know you said the second image looks dull compared to RL, but it is gorgeous. Those colors together are beautiful. Will have to come back and accept my award soon. :)
