Phew, so many LOs, so little time to blog them

I meant to come back and upload my other cybercrop LOs, but forgot, oops. Instead I'll just add a selection of recent LOs. My gallery on UKS is almost full which is a pain as I've deleted some already.

This LO was done for a challenge on Designer Digitals. It's inspired by a web advert which had a similar layout.

This LO was done also for a challenge on Designer Digitals, where we were given the papers as a freebie. I love the little butterflies.

I've now finished Now we're rocking with Photoshop, so here's the remaining 2 LOs from the course. Digi: In Deep starts in a couple of weeks, and I'm a bit nervous about it, but the course materials are available for ever, so it doesn't really matter if I don't take it in first time.

You'll notice that some of the photos in this LO are the same as Photo Session above, but hey, I like them:D.

In other news, I'm liking the interesting swaps on UKS just now. I've just made 30 inchies, they're so dinky and cute I could get addicted to them too, there's a piccie of mine on my 365 blog. I'm also in the Arnold swap, where we each put a photo of Arnold the garden gnome in front of a local landmark and turn it into an ATC. Then there's the 'It fits in a matchbox-the big one' swap, where we fill a large matchbox with stash. I'm also tempted by the Arty Farty Jigsaw swap, but I probably have too much else to do, so might give that one a miss.

All in all, there's plenty out there to interest me at the mo, as it should be:D.

Cybercrop over already

Well, that's the Whodunnit cybercrop over. I really enjoyed myself once the weekend had started. I even did a couple of the classes, though I do tend to prefer the challenges. Think it'll take a couple of posts to upload everything I did, so I'll start with the mystery kit as it's a few photos by itself.

I loved the kit, the last one I got was a bit disappointing, and I ended up not using it. This one had October afternoon papers, core'dinations cardstock, 7gypsies journalling cards, a few flowers, brads and 2 metal photo turns.

The first thing I thought of to make was a play set for Amy. There are strict rules about what you can use for the mystery kit, but we were allowed to use the packaging. I painted the bubble wrap as a carpet. I printed out a couple of photos and used the frames with them. Also cut some flowers using the Bigshot and made a garland for the top. I reckon Amy will like using the set as a ballroom for her Little People, she loves dancing and Cinderella.

The next thing I thought of was using all the little cards to make a notebook. Took a while to work out how to combine the pages as I couldn't use a book ring, but the ribbon and brad work.

Then I thought I should make a LO. I love this photo of Amy, and liked using several of the patterned papers and stitching. Used one of the 7gypsies cards for hidden journalling.

I didn't win, but didn't expect to, just glad we got such a lush kit!

Week 3 lesson

This week's lesson was pretty intense in Now we're Rockin'. I managed it all, though I'm not entirely sure I get it all, or could do it off my own bat.

Here's the LO, used the course materials, and snowflake spirograph brushes by Rob and Bob studios. I LOVE the blended-in photo on the bottom corner. Think I'll be using that technique again.

As for cc challenges, today's was to make a journalling block, I made 2 as I couldn't decide which background brush I preferred.
