Digital and Glitz

Here are some projects that I have been working on. This first one was just for fun and I really like how it came out. I covered an acrylic shape with WonderFilm then used the Lace Technique to create the pattern on the shape. I also like how you can vaguely see through it. I also added Crystal Glitter Glitz to the flowers and Wine Glitter Glitz on the Butterfly.

This one is just in time for Valentine's Day. I used the Stencil Technique on this card.

And then I tried a little digi scrapping challenge over at Scrapperie. I really like how this page came out.

Supplies:
Template by Studio Crystal - Crystal Livesay
cherpeadesigns - create kit @ twolittlepixels
jopkedesigns - gwenifer kit @ twolittlepixels

That is just a little of what I have been up to. I hope you have found some inspiration. Don't forget about the Beat the Blues crop at Dixie Pieces that is going on right now. Just click on the button in the upper left hand column and it will take you directly to the crop!

Valentine's Day - early

Nothing like waiting until the last minute to take your camera to get it serviced before the warranty runs out! I just found out the my warranty runs out on February 1st - not the 28th like I had originally thought. I was also told that it would take about 1 - 2 weeks to send my camera in and have it cleaned and serviced. Today when I called I found out that it would be 6 - 8 weeks!!! You have got to be kidding me??? Their is no way I could be without my camera for that length of time. I have way too many assignments due over the next 6 weeks.
After being in much distress (DH said it was a walleyed temper tantrum) my sweet husband brought this home as an early Valentine's Day present!


I have been wanting a video camera for some time now so that I could start doing my own tutorials both scrapping and farm related (see our Farm Blog). How does this solve my camera problem? This thing also takes still pictures! I guess I am the only one in the world that did not know that these digital video cameras take still photos LOL

After playing around with it some tonight before fully charging the battery, we took a few test pictures and video and let me tell ya - I think this is going to be one handy dandy little camera/video!

3rd Annual Beat the Blues Crop Coming Soon!

Get ready for the 3rd annual Dixie Pieces "Beat the Winter Blues" Crop Weekend! Get in on your calendars now, February 5-7! Not around that weekend? Not to worry ---- You will have until the 18th to complete the challenges to qualify for the Grand Prize! Stay tuned for more information!

Sketch Challenge at P K Glitz

P K Glitz has an awesome sketch challenge for the month of January!

Janelle (owner of P K Glitz) is very new to sketches and when I presented this card sketch to her she teasingly asked, “Do I have to use a chicken?” The answer is “No, and besides it’s a Love Bird”. Bottom line, the overall card is a pattern and you can insert a “heart” with a Valentine sentiment, a “flower” with a Happy Birthday sentiment, etc., etc., you get the idea. With that said, we will have a Sketch for you each month to play with. If you are a member of Club Glitz then you get a head start on this challenge.
