Hi Peeps!

Just a reminder that the new challenges go up on the first Monday of a month - so that means the new one is up on Monday the 6th April!

In the meantime, have a great April 1st fooling around with the kiddies; stay virus free and stay indoors; wash those hands; and see you next week!!!

From my crafting companion and me!!!

Week 4 of the March Challenge!

Hello Peeps

Life is full of uncertainties at the moment so it is our job to try and make it a little bit better by providing some HOPE!

While we are all either in lock down or socially isolating those of us who have a craft space can go there and clear our heads with some quality crafty time. We can make something beautiful or funny and we can then pass this on to cheer up others.

#98 March Challenge, 2020 - Hope

What represents Hope?

Flowers (Tulips, Myrtle, Marjoram, Lotus, Daisy); castles in the air; clouds; sunshine; and sunrises; new beginnings and/or birth; energy and youth; to name only a few things.

You can tell us what represents HOPE to you.....

TWIST - use yellow as the main colour

What is more hopeful that a sunrise?

A breathtaking sunrise from the summit of kunanyi/Mt Wellington thanks to Dietmar Kahles from Lake of Tranquility who says:

This was easily one of the most amazing sunrises I've ever experienced.

However, I cannot stand for long I have discovered so this is a simple card).

Week 3 of March Challenge: #98 Hope with a TWIST of Yellow!

#98 March Challenge, 2020 - Hope

What represents Hope?

Flowers (Tulips, Myrtle, Marjoram, Lotus, Daisy); castles in the air; clouds; sunshine; and sunrises; new beginnings and/or birth; energy and youth; to name only a few things.

You can tell us what represents HOPE to you.....

AND, Oh Boy,  with the Corona virus around we need all the hope we can get!

Here is some

Lockdown

Yes there is fear.

Yes there is isolation.

Yes there is panic buying.

Yes there is sickness.

Yes there is even death.

But,

They say that in Wuhan after so many years of noise

You can hear the birds again.

They say that after just a few weeks of quiet

The sky is no longer thick with fumes

But blue and grey and clear.

They say that in the streets of Assisi

People are singing to each other

across the empty squares,

keeping their windows open

so that those who are alone

may hear the sounds of family around them.

They say that a hotel in the West of Ireland

Is offering free meals and delivery to the housebound.

Today a young woman I know

is busy spreading fliers with her number

through the neighbourhood

So that the elders may have someone to call on.

Today Churches, Synagogues, Mosques and Temples

are preparing to welcome

and shelter the homeless, the sick, the weary

All over the world people are slowing down and reflecting

All over the world people are looking at their neighbours in a new way

All over the world people are waking up to a new reality

To how big we really are.

To how little control we really have.

To what really matters.

To Love.

So we pray and we remember that

Yes there is fear.

But there does not have to be hate.

Yes there is isolation.

But there does not have to be loneliness.

Yes there is panic buying.

But there does not have to be meanness.

Yes there is sickness.

But there does not have to be disease of the soul

Yes there is even death.

But there can always be a rebirth of love.

Wake to the choices you make as to how to live now.

Today, breathe.

Listen, behind the factory noises of your panic

The birds are singing again

The sky is clearing,

Spring is coming,

And we are always encompassed by Love.

Open the windows of your soul

And though you may not be able

to touch across the empty square,

Sing.

This week we have a new member of the team

Keti

What reflects me? Pink and sweet and lots of smiles.

I'm also a little dreamy from time to time.

Eemeli

"Hello! My name is Eemeli and I am a telecommunications engineer from Finland. For years I have spent my days mainly with just guys and my mind works 100% like an engineer, so you can imagine my design style is therefore non-girly and more or less cas. Straight lines and mathematically balanced overalls is what I like. Don't expect to find alot of fluffy girly embellishments on my creations :)

I have been crafting my whole life. I started making Christmas cards as a young girl (back in the 80s) and as a blogger I will be celebrating my 9 year blogaversary this February. I have never had a big budget (most of the years I have been a student) when it comes to crafting and sometimes it has been a challenge but with a little bit of imagination anything is possible. I am also very keen on sports so in wintertime you'd probably find me on my alpine skis during weekends and summer is all about playing golf."

Looking forward the upcoming commitment and joining the fabulous team!

Hugs,

Eemeli

Here is Eemili's first piece

Susan

There you go - another week to ponder your piece and then create up a storm! See you soon!

(PS Happy Birthday to my eldest granddaughter as well!)

We're back!!!!! February Challenge #97: Who am I?

Hello Peeps!

Welcome back to a new year of strange challenges from Unstampabelles!

Well, it has been quite hot here lately - Hobart scored it's second 40 degree plus day this summer just a few days ago and we all sweltered inside with the air conditioner. Thankfully no major fires occurred.  We are doing better than the mainland in that regard atm. This day was followed up by some lovely rain but not enough - a teaser. Then, just as I was keying this in it rained again! Another shower. Now it is bright sunshine and blue skies again.Still, I don't need to water the garden. Now they are telling us that there will be snow in the highlands tomorrow and 16 degrees maximum. It all makes no sense. Climate change is a daily thing for us here. 

Not smoke for a change, rain (and wind)!

So after a year that seemed for a number of horrible reasons to be not so good for some of us, we have decided to be POSITIVE and FORWARD LOOKING in 2020.

Our challenges are always quirky and as you cannot use stamps, it makes you think about your stash in a slightly different way. As well, we have a TWIST - for those who want an additional challenge and want to be eligible for the DT Favorite. We also have a new team member too who is going to be challenged not only by our monthly themes and twists but by working without stamps .....but there will be more about her next week!

So, to get the ball rolling, in February 

we have a challenge that is all about YOU

Who am I? (Must be Positive) 

Create something that reflects who you are..........

plus a

TWIST....use bright colours and/or explain a bit about yourself

and why you created this piece in your journalling.

Remember: to be eligible for DT Favorite you should attempt the twist.

There is also a Random Number draw prize

To win this, you just have to enter and be eligible by 

following the theme and not using stamps

It is usually the same

$15 Aust as a gift voucher/PayPal transfer

The Design Team will be presenting over the month, with some new pieces being showcased each week by individual members of the team.

Here are the first four pieces of inspiration for this theme

Wynn

Dale

Monika

What reflects me? Flowers in any form !!
I love flowers. Both - paper and real flowers. Especially roses in my garden.

Susan

A slightly quirky version of me!

So - let us see who you are and/or what represents you

- you can make a card, a tag, a scrap page, a multimedia piece, an off-the-page item....

as long as it fits the theme, uses NO STAMPS and is made using craft paper techniques.

You can enter below - we look forward to seeing your work
