Color Dare # 666

 

  This picture shows my make for the

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge DT

Do pop over to the Color Dare Challenge and take a look at my teamies' makes.

This picture shows the challenge - 

I used a white card base and added a dark blue mat. I then added an orange mat followed by embossed cream and orange pieces and another blue mat. Next I added the embossed image, coloured with markers. Finally I added stickers around the edges.

Hope you will join the challenge

Happy Crafting!

In the middle front is one of my journals with a new page on the left (the right hand side is an old one).

I mentioned last week the shakers I made for a swap - these are the ones I made:

These are the ones I received:

I have placed one of these in my page above as I intend making another couple to place in the pocket but I have not made them yet...

The other thing I mentioned last week was the making of journal pages etc following 4 prompts. This week I discovered the Seek/Gather/Create Scavenger Challenge.

This prompted me to make this page:

Prompted by these I have made this so far:

This is the third week for which I am still scavenging...

Apart from that I have made a card for the Conjurer of Dreams Progressive Challenge:

I have also made a couple of things for Michelle Grant's Junk Journal July

Week 3  Day 1. I made a hidden journaling spot to slip in a pocket in one of my journals. Using images from Expressing

Week 5, Day 1. using images from Embracing

All for now...

Happy WOYWW!

WOYWW #845

 

 Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #845.

In the middle front are some shakers that I have made for a swap. I forgot to photograph before I posted them off...

To the left there is a page in my loose-leaf journal. Alongside this you can just see part of an Art by Marlene stamp set - lovely textures - which is excellent for journal pages.

On Friday morning I got up early to join the UK Stampers Network Zoom Craft and Chat. Sheila ran the workshop - first she asked us all to suggest two colours, a technique and a theme. She then threw a dice to pick 4 items and we had to make something with these starting points.

The first group was Orange, Black, Stencil and Triangles. I made the following card:

The next group was pink, copper, washi and flora. I used these to make this journal page:

The final group was orange, mustard, stencil, leaves. I made another journal page:

As the workshop session is about an hour and a half, each make is very quick!

If I turn this page the next two are using Gecko Galz images:

I have been making cards using the faux tile technique. These are a couple of examples:

Nothing else to share in the craft line but this is our front garden  with the native plants coming on nicely...

This shows the back garden where Kevin is turning the veggie patch into a fine tilth. With a  bit of luck the weather will start to warm up and we will soon have things growing!!

So far there's only a kangaroo paw!

It is amazing however to see that this is how it was 4 years ago:

Happy WOYWW!
