Shutter card Template.

A shutter card made with Polkadoodles Christmas Joy Digiscrap kit  http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/christmas-joy-digiscrap-download-bundle-digital-printables/. I've made this card in CraftArtist so I have a Free template in CraftArtist format. Please take note this is a project file not a Digikit, so it needs opening by double clicking or File open.

Memories of Dad

I've made this Memory page as my Dad died 30 years ago at Christmas. I thought the sentiment was just what it needed. I found the little candle hiding in the kit, so decided to light it up in my software. Kit Christmas Joy  http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/christmas-joy-digiscrap-download-bundle-digital-printables/

Pop up Box card

I was asked by a CraftArtist user if I could make a Template for a Pop Up Box Card for use in CraftArtist. This is what I've come up with. The box folds flat to post. I've used Polkadoodles Christmas Joy digiscrap kit  as there were lots of Christmas parcels to fill my box with.

Fancy Stepper Christmas Joy/ Free template

Fancy stepper card made with the Christmas Joy kit from Polkadoodles. This time using one of the Christmas stockings and the candy canes. The template is further down on another post. http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/christmas-joy-digiscrap-download-bundle-digital-printables/


Christmas Nativity

I just loved the words on this page, there are lots of different word art elements in this kit, there is also a cute little wand, so with the aid of a picture of Keira dressed for her Nativity outfit, I've made this page. All I've added are a few effects in my software and Hey Presto! Kit http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/christmas-joy-digiscrap-download-bundle-digital-printables/

Let it snow

A snowy scrap page for 2 photo's of James and Eleanor in the snow with their sledges. I've used one of the embossed papers in the Christmas Joy Digiscrap kit to give a bit of texture to the page. I just loved the little Christmas stockings so decided to hang them from one of the many banners, it's so nice to pull on a pair of warm socks when you've been out in the snow.

Christmas Joy vintage look card

This time a vintage card made with Polkadoodles Christmas Joy. There are so many elements to this kit, I've used a different colour pallet. http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/christmas-joy-digiscrap-download-bundle-digital-printables/

This is the insert of the card.There are also a lot of sentiments in the kit for card making and I found that this would be appropriate for my Mam as my dad died at Christmas time. http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/christmas-joy-digiscrap-download-bundle-digital-printables/

Christmas Joy Polkadoodles

Christmas is coming with Polkkadoodles. Loving this Christmas Joy Digiscrap bundle. It has over 400 elements including 48 papers, so much to do all kinds of Christmas crafts. I've decided to scrap my Grandchildren, this is Keira in one of her party dresses all dressed up to go to the school Christmas party. #Polkadoodles http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/christmas-joy-digiscrap-download-bundle-digital-printables/

This is Katherine off to her Tot's party a few years ago, with the statutory tinsel crown. At least she's wearing it! I just love the Gingerbreads. There's also a Gingerbread string in the kit #Polkadoodles  http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/christmas-joy-digiscrap-download-bundle-digital-printables/

Mouse/ Fairy house

Oh NO! Mr Mouse has moved into my house! He's moved to the top of the stairs above the skirting board. He's waiting for Katherine to come tomorrow. Then he may go home with her.


The door has been made the same as the card above, but cut out with it's foliage. It's then been stuck to the wall with Stick and Spray, semi permanent spray. Mr Mouse has been decoupaged with silicone.
This is another version, but this time a Fairy door. I've made a CraftArtist Digikit for the door graphic, which just needs to be added to a paper, including  instructions, I've also added the Fairy minus her flowered headdress and wings which are from Lauren's kit. There is a CraftArtist version, the file is a Digikit so place in the Digikit folder. Non CraftArtist users, file includes  PNG images. https://www.mediafire.com/file/2e6sthmz4ued76e/Mouse%20-Fairy%20door.zip

Forest Friends Samples part 2


The little Mouse house card made with a small section of a paper from the Forest friends kit. I've added the little door graphic and some little signs. The perfect New Home card. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/531279466/digi-scrapbooking-kit-watercolour?ref=shop_home_active_2

Another selection of samples made with Lauren's Forest Friends Scrapbook kit.https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/531279466/digi-scrapbooking-kit-watercolour?ref=shop_home_active_2
I just love making Fairy Jars, so I decided to make this one with the beautifully painted flowers and foliage. I've also used one of the gorgeous butterflies for the fairy wings. When I see a butterfly in a kit, my first reaction is, a fairy !

This is the back of the jar. I printed this twice, one reversed and joined them back to back, so you could view the jar all around. It was finished off with a label and a flower on top.

Just love the little bunnies, so cute!
I decided to make a pop up here. It's a tiny card with the pop up surprise inside. I then designed a matching envelope to finish it off.


Another scrap page, this time with Mr & Mrs Fox hiding in the flowers.

This was a little faux canvas for a child's room.


Belle Papillon from Polkadoodles

An Art page today using Belle Papillon, it's the kit that keeps giving. I sometimes find one element in a kit that I have to use, in this project it was the parasol. I found a vintage lady to hold it and went from there. I enlarged her photo so I could feature her face in the frame. #Polkadoodles  http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/belle-papillon-big-kahuna-download-bundle/

Free Fancy stepper card template

I've been designing another card with Lauren's Forest Friends kit. I must apologize for the quality of the photographs, as I had to take them in a thunder storm and even with the light and the flash on the room was very dark. It's a card designed in CraftArtist, I've made a template for crafters with CraftArtist and I'll also add PNG versions here following the link.  Please enjoy, you can make things to sell with the template, but please don't sell the template.

Great Grandfather Scrap Belle Papillon

A memory page of my Great Grandfather Frederick Allen. He was a shipwright in a village called South Hylton, on the North East coast of England. I'm hoping at some point to make a keepsake book of family members past and thought Belle Papillon was a good choice as it suits both male and female photographs. It's also a very large collection of over 500 elements, which gives scope for many different page designs.http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/belle-papillon-big-kahuna-download-bundle/

Angel, Belle Papillon

Another Belle Papillon post. This time I thought I'd make an art page. There was the most fabulous set of wings in the collection, so I just had to make an Angel! http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/downloads-printables/download-collections/belle-papillon-collection/

The Shop Card

This is a shop card I made as a sample with a kit from Daisytrail with art work by Lauren C. Waterworth, The kit was full of dresses, hats, hatboxes and lots of other ladies accessories, so I decided to make a shop card to put them in. The shop was designed in CraftArtist, The items in the shop are all on strips of card going across the width. I can't give away the shop contents, but I can give away the shop. I thought there could be many uses for it, cake shop, flower shop even a pet shop, it's up to you and your imagination. The shop is in PNG form and I've included the back wall which can be recoloured or used for a pattered paper, the ceiling coving from the wall, the picture rail, shelf and a hatstand ,mirror, table and dress rail for anyone making a dress shop. Just add the name to the front. I've made 3 colour ways, so hopefully one will suit your project. Just score the lines on the 2 larger pieces and glue as in photo 2. Add as many strips as you want to hold your shop contents. I hope you enjoy this project. I'm hoping to make some more as I go along. Just bring the images into your image software and add to it x

The three colours included. These are for Personal use only.
