Four legged friends


Morning everyone, Saturday and time for a new challenge at Allsorts and this week Sarah has chosen the theme of Four Legged Friends. This months fabulous bundle of prizes come from Craft StashAnna Marie DesignsAALL and CreateOakwood and WOWVOW.

Two shares today, both created in My Craft Studio using the new Best of Volume 11/12. The same horse appears in both, above he's having a quick graze before being tacked up (saddle and bridle at the ready) to go on a hack, imagination and a stretch of reality helps no end!!

Below he pulls a traditional Gypsy Vardo which takes me right back to childhood. A lovely man called Jim and his family used to visit the farm every summer for seasonal work, his daughter was a similar age to me so we used to play together and their home looked much like this.


What I love about the MCS scene building USB's is that you can create whatever type of scene takes your fancy as every single element is a separate component allowing you to build as you go. Above I've used at least ten elements, the programme offers the ability to add shadow, change colour, change size and orientation, bring elements to the fore and so on, so versatile. 

These gorgeous Poppies are the September Flower of the Month and launched this week, a few of my DT makes.


Finally a heads up that there's a new release from Highlight/Two Red Robins at 10am Monday on Create and Craft TV which has some adorable ponies and a Lassie type dog, but afraid I can't share for another day or so.

You've created some lovely peaceful scenes to showcase the horse Brenda, they remind me of illustrations from picture books years ago, you could easily create stories around these. The poppies are magnificent!

Absolutely beautiful Brenda, so much creativity with those gorgeous poppies as well as the scene building USBs. I just love those scenes - makes me want to learn how to do that! Can't even merge two digi stamps...talk about being behind in technology LOL
PS: Those first two would be perfect for the current I spy challenge if you like to join in :)

Ciao Brenda, buona domenica! Molte creazioni meravigliose oggi con i prodotti TRR, sono una più bella dell'altra! Adoro le due card con i cavalli, specialmente la seconda e che fortuna avere avuto un'amica zingara, era una cultura davvero affascinante, oggi credo che sia molto cambiata a causa del progresso. Ho scaricato anche io MCS, non l'ho ancora usato ma ho visto che ha molte funzioni utili.
Hai usato meravigliosamente i tuoi amati papaveri, questa release di settembre sembra fatta apposta per te! :) Adoro il porta-lettere e il crackle è delizioso!! La ghirlanda, la card e il quadretto sono davvero splendidi, non potrei scegliere un preferito!
Spero che il tempo da te sia pieno di sole per godere ancora un po' del tuo magnifico paradiso naturale. Qui ha piovuto un bel po, finalmente, ma pare che da domani arriverà una nuova ondata di caldo.
Ti abbraccio

Faith A at Daffodil Cards said...

I love your horse scenes Brenda, isn't it great to manipulate scenes like this? As for the Gypsy Caravan, I also had a playmate in one of those caravans. Then one day they were gone, never to be seen again, I was quite upset at losing a lovely friend. Your poppy makes are so beautiful, what a lovely post holder, the wreath is awesome gorgeous cards too.
