Outlawz July Challenge Reminder

    

This is a new Outlawz challenge which will scroll through the themes
Songs and Rhymes
Colour
Greetings
Sketch

This month it is Greetings  where your make should be inspired by this idea - or it can be Anything Goes :



This is a reminder post and my second card:



This is a simple card made using a white card base, matted with green, white and then a background of washi strips.

I added the image and the sentiment.

Here is my desk today: 


Mary Anne asked about the purple texture paste of last week. I have placed my selection of coloured texture pastes on my work table. They are mainly Colour Blast but some are TCW.


You can also see The Sticker Book of Curiosities - I found this is a wonderful arty shop I discovered while we were away the last few days. I would have liked to buy more but my budget wouldn't run to it!!
I was also very pleased to find two issues of Daphne's Diary in a local magazine shop - very unusual - I usually have to get them online from the UK and then it costs an arm and a leg!

I have taken photos of the ICADs up to July 8th:


These are blogged here

This month the theme of the Tiny Pieces of Art is weather. This is my second index card:



Our last trip was to Warrnambool along the Great Ocean Road. We were hoping to see whales but we were not fortunate enough to see any. I rather liked this seal in the town though:


We enjoyed visiting Hopkins Fall, Tower Hill and Flagstaff Hill.




The sea was rather wild especially when we visited Loch Ard Gorge.

We have just taken Ollie home. We continued making the volcano:


We were away again for the weekend and are off again tomorrow...so hope to get around you all this week. One of the things we visited at the weekend was the Victorian State Library.


One of the exhibits was this copy of Pride and Prejudice which was quite appropriate as we went to see Pride and Prejudice (sort of) at the theatre on Saturday night.
