April Showers - please come our way!

ow wet is it at your place?  Here we have had no rain for several weeks now and the wattle is out! It has been a barmy, calm, blue day today. Not autumnal at all -- not sure what is happening anymore!

It is the third week in May so it is three weeks into our latest challenge:

Challenge #78: Use Acetate or Vellum

Prize 
New KaiserCraft EF



Twist - create a new view
TIP: show us something new to look at..........

Remember, your view does not have to be about your project!
You can show us something new you have acquired or earned or s new place you have visited or a new person/pet in your life - just a photo and a few words about the new 'thing' will do!
It can be an old view to you but a new view for us.....

Here is a new view for you all......

The climb to the top of Mt Amos, overlooking Wineglasss Bay, was definitely worth it thanks to Georgie Munro.

We have a few new inspirations for you




Here is a new view - of the painted cliffs on Maria Island
At certain angles they have lovely 'painted' strips of colour in the sandstone and it shows up because the sandstone being soft has been eroded by wind and rain so the lines show up 


One of the best views we have shared of the Painted Cliffs on Maria Island thanks to Tom and Ella.

The twist this month is to show us something new - it can be your work space, or some new stash, or a new view out the window, or perhaps a new car or jumper or toy! Just show it to us and tell us what it is - share some joy!

Hi All

Just a quick note to tell you that the winners post will be up on Wednesday morning. Sorry for this - unavoidable visit to mainland for a big birthday bash and will be back too late to get the blog up and running then.

Inspiration to tide you over!

Hope you all had a great Easter Break and are raring to get back into the craft space and create for the next special occasion - here it is Mother's Day in early May!

Back to the latest challenge!

I have something new to look at....


My newest assistant's newest trick!

Kidding!

This twist can be interpreted anyway you wish 
It can be a new item, a new technique, a new craft room, a new embellishment ....anything that is new to look at! 

It doesn't have to be used in your project either!!
Just something you are proud of having.....

 Now for a bit of inspiration to get you started!





Notice that there are many different ways to incorporate vellum or acetate into your work - here I have reused an acetate box for Easter!
