7th Annual Treasure Trovember 2026 - second seven days


  I decided to join the November Trovember Challenge instigated by

Collage-Lab

I first found this challenge last year...

I started with an A3 piece of substrate.

Day 8 - Add some green


I added some drips of green ink to my page.

Day 9 - Add something fluorescent.


I added marks using a neon yellow scribble stick (Dina Wakley)

Day 10 - Add something sweet

The image was cut from an old edition of Daphne's Diary.

Day 11 - Add a rainbow


This rainbow image came from Michelle Grant Designs. I just came across the quote in my stash.

Day 12 - Add something fast

The car came from 'Extraordinary Things to Cut Out and Collage'.

Day 13 - Add  a window

Not sure if this was a good idea but I added a chipboard frame making a vellum window.

Day 14 - Add a secret message


I added a coded message using a black Posca

Now onto the next 7...

Beccy's Place 'Month of Holiday Cards Challenge' Day 10 - I

 This is a make for

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

 - which is now in its 14th year!

Again I am late to the party -  it is now day 15!

 However I will catch up!!

This card follows the prompt I is for - Day 10

I is for IDEA I saw on insta or somewhere - of course it immediately disappeared so I cannot say from whom. The idea used watercolours but I used an image with a little bit of collage and penwork. I used mats of red and green and used the same card for the ornaments.

I previously used this image from Conjurer of Dreams in July on a mat of sparkly silvery paper followed a bit of sparkle on the trees


I will add this new IDEA to the challenge

Beccy's Place 'Month of Holiday Cards Challenge' Day 7 - F

      This is a make for

 Beccy's Place: A Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

 - which is now in its 14th year!

Again I am late to the party -  it is now day 14!

 However I will catch up!!

This card follows the prompt F is for - Day 7

F is for freebie

On the Conjurer of Dreams Facebook Group there is a monthly Progressive Challenge and the first image is a freebie.

 Each week a new image is sent to you if you use the first one.

I made this card for that first November image:


I printed the image three times to place one on the blue card blank, a second to cut out the frame and a third to cut out the extra blue Foliage.
I placed a snowman (also Conjurer of Dreams) on the scene and  a layer of acetate to look like a window behind the frame.
Finally I added the hearts...


I will add this to the challenge
