Something Saturday - DSP & Blends

 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off an idea that Claire our Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Development Manager showed us in a workshop the other day, I took it a bit further in one of my cards, let me know which card is your favourite! If you'd like to see all the goodies I used on these cards click here:  DSP & Blends Turtles Cards Here are the cards I ended up creating The first 2 I've just used the blends to go round each of the images on the designer paper, I really love the way the images get highlighted from it, almost a "stained glass effect" This first card I also used the blend on the white card base under the Designer Paper to give a border This second card I used the Blend around the edge of the Designer paper to draw a line  (I did use a ruler to do this!) again to create a border. Then this last one I've gone round the edges again with the darker Pool Party blend, but then blended in the lighter one in all the gaps. I actually did g...

Just to prove that I do things other than cards!

Hi Everyone,
it's that Book week time of year again, the kids at Tarnagulla had their parade on Thursday (sadly I'm at work on Thursdays, but Tom went and took photos and I got in a few before I left for work)
So I spent the weekend making a Dinosaur tail.... got the old paper mache technique going (plain flour mixed with water and wiped onto strips of newspaper), swiped a paper from work that nobody wanted, made a form out of old cornflake boxes and voila:
LOL one Dinosaur tail!  I also bought a (cheap) bike helmet from KMart, and green and black spray paint and the helmet got the same Paper Mache treatment, one spiky helmet!
then Sam had to do a bit of work himself, on creating a mask (he coloured it in then took all the credit for making the entire outfit - LOL typical 6 year old)
He was so chuffed to be a dinosaur.
Next Up Josh's outfit, last year he wanted to be Mr Mosely the Dog (it's a book), and we'd made up the outfit, then he was sick and couldn't attend, so this year we bought out the costume, and added to it, obviously in tail mode, so guess what? we added a tail - lol
it was meant to kind of float behind his back (tied on with fishing line), which was fine with constant re-adjustment, otherwise it tended to go to one side, however moving on.......front view:
Mr Mosely in the book has a black wonky heart looking patch on his chest, and long floppy ears, I don't think we did a bad job :)
And here they are together waiting for the school bus:

Well that's it for now, inspiration in a different way today, but I hope it inspires you to create!
God Bless love
