Crafting


This weekend has brought two birthday celebrations. My sisters 40th and Diddy’s friends 8th birthday.

So we have been wrapping pressies. We used a CD that Liquorice brought over…it has lots of sweety wrapping paper graphics that can be printed out.Very sweet they are too!

Take a look at our achievements…let us know what you think.

What do you think of the Handmade Brigade header? I think it’s quite cool, in a garish, bright and snazzy way!

I wanted something that summed-up us, and our Handmade Brigade logo, and tried various photos of cards and projects that I have. But nothing worked!

So in a moment of inspiration, I took a picture of my hand using my Logicam. A 2 second click and I had my base photo. With a bit of fiddling on the MGI Photosuite, I had a picture that I thought I could use.

I love the way that a rather plain, grey image is now pink and purple and jazzy. Unfortunately, I have lost the original, so I can’t show you what it looked like!

The header for this template is quite narrow, so I lost a lot of the picture. However, I am still happy with the result. Hope you like it too!
