November: Challenge#117: Colour My World

 Week Three

Hello Fellow Crafters.....here's hoping that all is well with you and yours. We are surviving OK but Spring seems to have lost its job description and is confused with Autumn. It's cold and wet today and they are talking of snow later on today! The the sun comes out and the plants think it is summer already and sprint off! My tomatoes have flowers and that is not supposed to happen for another 2-3 weeks....

COVID is still disrupting life everywhere I note. Please get your vaccinations and if needed, the booster. Hubby and I will be boosting early in 2022. Until then we can only hope to stay away from anyone with the virus atm.

Now, this month we are celebrating colour

#117: November: Colour my World 

TWIST: make it colourful

As it is close to Christmas, there is no surprise that Christmas cards etc feature  - like for the DT inspirations - but you don't have to make a Christmas card. You can create anything paper based as long as there is colour in it - however much colour is up to you too....

Vicki went for lots of colour

Mine is a bit more muted - red/blue/green

Let's see what you can create with using stamps....

there are some very yummy entries to date!

Midway in the Midway.....Challenge#112: Seasons and Seasonal TWIST: use handmade flower(s)

 Hello Peeps!

It's mid winter here in Hobart and we are celebrating it with Dark Mofo!

Part of the celebration is painting the town red.....these two photo's were taken by locals only 12 hours apart...

Tasman Bridge by Steve Dillon: mountain hidden in fog.....

The theme this month is to make something seasonal or representing the seasons

The TWIST is to make and use a flower(s)

Vicki did just that!

So vivid in winter!

Love it!

What can you come up with?

Remember - NO STAMPS of any kind......thanks

Who would have Thunk It........

....we are halfway through July! Only six months to Christmas folks! 

However, it is still the middle of winter here, and Santa would freeze his toes off in that get-up, not mention other parts of his anatomy! I realise he would survive in those parts north of the equator however, and expect there are a few people having a Christmas in July party and wondering how we eat all that heavy food at Christmas down here! The answer is of course, we don't usually eat all the heavy food - it's seafood, and salads and cold ham and turkey, with icecream plum puddings, along with ice cold wine and beer! Santa would fit right in in that get-up!

Why am I wittering on about summer and such stuff? Because the DT has been channelling summer and spring in their DT Inspiration for you this week, for the Unstampabelles Challenge #48 Grab a Bunch - of Flowers,  that's why!

 (the sentiment is not stamped but printed onto the card using MS Word)
