* Vera Lane Studio: Skullies!

Hello everyone!

I hope you're enjoying October so far.

There is so much going on in blogland and not enough time to follow it all!

Here at Vera Lane Studio, we are having a month of mischievous Halloween fun and we are collaborating with the lovely Serena Bee. Please pop over to her blog and shop, Papercakes, to see her super-cute Halloween makes.

Today I have a set of ATCs to share. Each ATC features one of the  Skullies made into a paperclip to keep your papers and planners in order, or it could be used as a bookmark.

The Skullies digital set contains 10 different skulls and 2 hats - a super bundle that is oh-so versatile! 

You will need 2 of each image to create a paperclip. One image will need to be reversed, which is very easy to do (I have a little video tutorial here).  I coloured the images with markers, adding Posca white pen and glitter for some detail. The two sides were glued together, sandwiching the jumbo paperclip - I used silicone glue for this. 

The ATC backgrounds are made from Serena's October Nights paper. The edges were inked in black and some silver trim was added. The Alpha stickers were adhered, then the paperclip attached with some black glitter tape. Green gems were placed in the centre of some of the webs.
I decided to put the ATCs on small cards again made with Serena's paper, so that I could send them along with Happy Mail.

BOO!
  

EEK!

* Vera Lane Studio: Planner Page

Hello everyone!

I'm popping by with an extra post and a video tutorial for Vera Lane Studio today.

I made a week-to-view planner page using the newly released Numbers digital set.

And here's a digitally coloured version:

I arranged my digis in PowerPoint, using Vera's Borders to separate the days horizontally and also to separate the diary from the digi collage. (Once the slide is set up, it can be used as a template for all further weeks) I used the new Numbers set for the dates and the Happy Birthday also comes as part of the set.  The images on the right are from Lovely Garden, Grow A Happy Life,  Tall Town, Snails and Cherry Street.  I digitally coloured the images in Gimp (a free image manipulation program - visit Gimp for the download) using straightforward block colours (for speed) with just a touch of airbrushed shade!  I left the numbers blank, so that there is room to doodle and colour when this page is printed out. In future, I think I would leave all the images blank, so that they could be coloured as the week goes by. 
I printed my page out to A5 size on card ... and, oops my printer needs new ink!
