I enjoyed Trovember (adding one piece of collage each day in November,  a very quick challenge each day) so much that I looked for another set of prompts. I found 2020

These were the first 7 days:

But on my desk easel you will see there are a few more days...

 

Now Angela has found me the 2024 prompts so I will do that next. What to do with them afterwards though - I think I will use as masterboards but with adding a few more layers of paint/stencils etc. I will share as and when!

At the front of my desk is a sprinkle of circles - I am going to add these to some Christmas cards. I made them using the technique of a Michelle Grant workshop at the virtual retreat last weekend. It uses a stamp made from a tied up and blown up freezer bag. The part finished (yellow) journal page is on my desk easel.

Apart from that I have just completed my first week of Euflexxa -  injections in my knees and hips to help my arthritis, stiffness, pain, etc. I have two weeks to go - three injections in each joint over three weeks. I last had this done 18 months ago but it has worn off now. I am hoping that they are equally as effective. Plus Ollie has just been picked up...

Fingers crossed I will visit you all this week...I think I managed last week.

All for now... 

Happy WOYWW! 

Conjurer of Dreams ATC Challenge

          

These are my makes for the Conjurer of Dreams

MONTHLY ATC Challenge

with a freebie image set. 

The theme this month is Christmas Gnomes.

I used the ATC backs on scraps of blue card and then images fussy cut from the image set.

Finally I added some gold circular stickers.

I will link these to the challenge.

Happy Crafting!

Gecko Galz December ATC Challenge

 

       

    

These are my makes for the Gecko Galz

MONTHLY ATC Challenge

with a freebie image set. 

The theme this month is Christmas Wonderland.

I used the ATC backs on scraps of pink card and then the images and sentiments. I used pink distress ink around the edges.

I decided that the pink marker added to ground the sheep was not enough - so I added a pink boulder!

I will link these to the challenge.

I decided to put them on my December calendar.

Happy Crafting!

On my desk easel is my finished Trovember - add one piece of collage each day in November - this is a very quick challenge each day! I have put separate posts up about this.

At the front of my desk are two pages from the virtual retreat of last weekend.

 This first you saw part made last week, from an Art by Marlene workshop. 

The second one is from a Niamh Baly workshop - still have to add sentiments and embellishments.

I completed the Christmas card challenge at Beccy's Place ended up making more than 30 cards... this forms several posts if you scroll down... This was my last card: The nutcrackers were from Daphne's Diary.

I thought I would share the advent calendar now finished:

Fingers crossed I will visit you all this week... last week I had the Book Group dinner on Wednesday night followed by the virtual retreat which spanned Thursday to Sunday. I didn't have a lot of time for hopping!

All for now... 

Happy WOYWW!
