A Bit of a Change...!

You may notice, I've started to replace the small image and watermark with a coloured image as I don't think the watermark was working - too easy to clean off and I think you get a better idea of the image when it's coloured - a bit like the rubber stamps with the image on the wooden handle!
Hope you like this way of displaying my images.

Let me know what you think

Instructions for watermarks

It's in a .png format. Take care not to re-save it as a jpg (very easily done!)as it will no longer be transparent.

Save it to a convenient location, like your desktop or a file in your 'photos' folder.

Take your photo and save it.

Open it in your graphics program..

Open watermark.

Click 'copy' on watermark and MINIMIZE or CLOSE watermark.

Click on photo and 'paste' . You watermark will appear in the centre of your photo (and possibly the wrong size too as I make them big for a good clean resolution when reduced).

Use your 'move' tool to move it to where you want. On my program the same tool can alter size too.

Once happy with the watermark's size/position, 'save' photo with a title and in a place you will find it again.

Eiglassing Sponsoring C.R.A.F.T Challenge



Here we are again with a wonderful new challenge at C.R.A.F.T  to sponsor!
I love the team at C,R.A.F.T they're such a lovely, friendly lot and so talented too, which is why I'm delighted for Eiglas to sponsor them every couple of months this year.

This month the theme is an 'inspirational picture' and I can't wait to see what you all come up with!  The winner of this particular challenge can choose £10.00 worth of digis or paperkits from my shop over at 


I'd be very happy if whilst you're over there, you could leave a constructive suggestion or comment on how I can improve my site/digis/paperkits or what else you would like to see.

The team over at C.R.A.F.T would love you to pop in and have a look at the wonderful projects they've come up with using my stuff and if you could also pop onto their personal blogs and leave a comment, that would be even more fabulous!

Here is my demo card for this challenge.


Jo's beautiful Highland photograph inspired the colours and the tartan and I thought my 'Monarch' fitted it well too. 

The blue, aubergine and tartan papers are from my Eiglas 'Galcelt' paperkit, which, hopefully, will be on my Eiglassing site soon and the digi is my Eiglas 'Monarch' which is on there already.  

I've coloured the image with my beloved Copic markers.

Look forward to seeing you all soon!

Southern Girl's Sponsorship

Because I don't run any challenges from this site, I didn't think to put a write-up for Southern Girls Sponsorship on here, so here it is!

Eiglas sponsoring Southern Girls Challenge #41

It's all go this year, here at Eiglas! 
Between Carol Smith and Yellow Moon and my new sponsorships with Jo and the team at C.R.A.F.T and this week's sponsorship with Southern Girls Challenge blog, I'm very nearly back with the programme and crafting again! LOL!


I'm so chuffed that these lovely craft challenge teams like my stuff and want to use it I jumped at the chance to share my paperkits and digis with them. 


I also want to share them with you and so am offering a £10.00 gift token to spend at my digi store ;




...so do pop over there and have a look-see what you fancy!  I'd really appreciate any thoughts and comments too - good and bad!


These are two seriously talented teams and I cannot wait to see what they do with my kits and digis.


Like I said, this week, it's my privilege to be working withSouthern Girls and their theme is 'Must Add Sentiment' so please do pop over to their blog and see what lovely creations they have made using some of my paper kits. 










They're a lovely bunch of ladies and have recently had a re-shuffle of their team and are welcoming a few new members, so please try to get onto their individual blogs and comment on their work, the same as they do for yours.








Here is my demo card for the challenge.




The paper is from my Eiglas 'Roseheart' paper kit, one of my favourite collections with very varied designs and a super colour pallette, and the quote is my own too. 
I hope you like it!




Look forward to seeing all your entries!

Latest Digi...Bobby!

A friend requested an image for her friend's little boy, who is one year old at the end of the month, so here is 'Bobby'!  He's a real boy - couldn't mistake him for a girl - but he is so cute! I was furnished with a photograph and he has the biggest grin and the most amazing eyes - I hope I've done them justice! 



I'll pop him under the Children & Babies tab too!

New kits!

I've some new paper kits on this week - a pretty soft coloured one called 'Anjelica' and a seasonal collection called 'Softly Falling'.  The working title was 'Audaube but my friend Christa suggested 'Softly Falling' instead and I thought that was so pretty and much more appropriate for the swirling leaves and snow in the papers.

I've made quite a few new kits but I just haven't had the time to kit them up and get them on but I will try in the next few days to get some more on.

Hope you will like them! As always, if you like anything on here, e-mail me at eiglas@eiglas.co.uk and I will send you the download code.

An exciting new collaboration!

Over the past few days I've been in discussion with a talented designer from Crafts-U-Print called Carol Smith.


Carol contacted me with come very complimentary comments on my digis and asked if I would allow the use of some of them on her super card-toppers, which she sells on Crafts-U-Print.


I confess to being a little sceptical at first as, really, I could do as much myself, had I the mind to, and wouldn't need to share any (very small it must be said!)  profit but as I looked at her pages on CUP I became convinced that I should go for it.   I did discuss it with a few of my friends, hobbyists and professional, and ended up more confusticated than before! 


So, in the end I took the bull by the horns and trusted my instinct that Carol is the lovely lady she appears to me to be.   I think it will possibly share my images to a wider audience and that thought makes me happy!


Here is her first creation with my image of my Very Cheeky Snowman!


Isn't that fab?


Carol has, very kindly, sent me the sheet so I was able to make up one of the possible designs with it.



The sheets Carol makes are already coloured in and come with the background scene you see here (plus others) and they come with the separate sections so you can easily decoupage them.


Here's a low-res image so you can see the layout (but thieves can't use it as it will pixillate as soon as you enlarge it). Carol's are much higher res and are a clean print.



Carol's toppers are great fun and a real boon to those with little time to spare or not confident in their colouring and they're very inexpensive!

Don't forget, if you like Cheeky, only I have the digi-stamps and he's over here at  Eiglassing! in the Christmas collection.  Just e-mail me and a download code will be sent!

New digi..... Calvin & Neo

...is now under the 'Peeps!' tab - as teenagers they aren't really children and I have no more pages I can make!
I'll also put them under the 'Male' tab so they can be found there too.


They look like they're having a laugh, don't they?
