A thing of beauty...

I am sooooo pleased with this photograph! It's a lovely sunny day here today, so I grabbed my camera and the telephoto lens with the intention of getting some pics for the Digital Craft Cottage 'Snap -It' challenge. For November the Snap-It challenge is to take photos of animals or other creatures, I couldn't believe it when I saw this beauty flitting about on the brambles.

I was so excited when I realised that I could also use this LO for the Bubbly Scrumptious monthly challenge 'A thing of beauty is a joy forever'.

Texture Overlay: Shauna Burke Smith (Pineapple Plantation Designs)
Font: LD Infusion
Staple: sorry just can't find this one at all!

Playing with Masks

No, not for Halloween! I have had some digital masks for some time, but never really knew what to do with them, however last night I came on a great tutorial on Shimelle's blog. It was a glorious day yesterday and I took a few photos at Castle Loch on our way back from hospital visiting. I am really pleased with the result and think that mask may be my 'next favourite thing' lol!

Journalling reads -

The Castle Loch at Lochmaben,
is only a few miles from my home.
It takes it’s name from the Castle
that was home to the family of
Robert the Bruce, the Earls of
Annandale.

The castle is in ruins and not
visible from the loch.

Sugarplum Paperie - Ad inspiration challenge

The Sugarplum Paperie Friday Challenge is to use an advertisement to inspire a layout or project. We are surrounded by inspiration everyday as we drive down the road, watch television or read a magazine. Use an ad to inspire your color choice, positioning of the photos/elements or even just to springboard your layout.
I liked the way this ad uses different sized text and I don't think I make enough of text and word art in my LOs, so I thought I would try this out. The kit used is Sugarplum Paperie 'Little Birdie', font is BN Machine and I used a CU overlay by Pineapple Plantation to fuzz it up a little.
