First Seven Days of Trovember

 I decided to join the November Trovember Challenge instigated by

Collage-Lab

These are my first 7 days with the suggested prompts. I did add these to Instagram (#trovember) but my pictures were cut off by Insta so I thought I would write a blog post.

I started with an A3 piece of substrate.

Day 1 - Add a grid.

Some of these squares were lying on my desk having been printed from Conjurer of Dreams so I printed a few more.

Day 2 - Add a piece of furniture.

This couch came from Extraordinary Things to Cut Out and Collage by Maria Rivans.

Day 3 - Something that hops or bounces.

As I live in Australia I went for a kangaroo - this one came from Extraordinary Things to Cut Out and Collage by Maria Rivans as well.

Day 4 - Add a body part.

This arm was just in my stash - maybe a Dyan Reaveley image?

Day 5 - Add some dots.

I added dotty circles using a stencil with black acrylic and white splatter with Dr Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White.

Day 6 - Add something shiny

This just happened to be in my stash. I cut rough circles.

Day 7 - Add a beverage.


 I had visions of a tall pink milkshake but I found a pumpkin latte. This came from a copy of Daphne's Diary.

Happy Crafting!

Gecko Galz ATC Challenge November


       

    

These are my makes for the Gecko Galz

The theme this month is Ice Queen.






I used the ATC backs on scraps of turquoise sparkly card and then the images on more card. I then added the fussy cut embellishments.

I will link these to the challenge.

Not much to see - I have been tidying up and throwing out things I don't need. How do I accumulate so many things that might be useful one day?

On my desk easel is the start of Trovember - add one piece of collage each day in November.

Kevin and I have been putting Halloween away...


I have been making various items for Gecko Galz and Conjurer of Dreams - I will say more about these later in the month.



My favourite ATC folder at the moment is that little booklet that Angela mentioned some weeks ago...




And my current favourite card fold is this:


All for now...
