June challenge:#112 Seasons and Seasonal TWIST: use handmade flower(s)

 Hello Peeps.... welcome to the first week of our June Challenge

The theme this month is 

#112: Seasons and Seasonal 

We are heading into winter here

The wombat's are looking forward to some snowy weather but not too snowy - they still have to eat!

I believe that means summer in the northern hemisphere....

but it can be a seasonal thing rather than an actual season, 

such as a dance or a festival.......

with the TWIST: use handmade flower(s)        

REMEMBER: No stamps! 

We have some inspiration for you from 

Dale

Here in Australia it is winter......Dale is in Western Australia where is is not quite as cold 

as here in Tassie............

Her colours reflect the landscape of WA beautifully

Week 3 of May's Challenge#111: Adventure with a TWIST of 3's

 Hello Peeps

I am trying to write this with a small black and white monster sitting on my keyboard and in front of my screen so if there is a  error, it is not because of me OK?[-l;

Only a week left to get something in for this challenge but please....there is a theme ADVENTURE and there is a rule in this challenge blog - NO STAMPS!

Here is a bit more inspiration for you

The theme- ADVENTURE - is in the idea of moving to the country...or living in the country

The TWIST of three's - 3 bull rushes, 3 layers, 3 sets of  square windows,
 3 lots of foliage around the pond......

Susan

What can you create?

You have five days to get something completed and entered.....

Midway through May Challenge #111: Adventures with TWIST of doing something 3 times

 #111: ADVENTURES - TWIST use something three times

Hello Peeps

It's a brisk autumnal day in southern Tasmania with sunshine and cold winds combining to make the leaves fall from the trees and the sun shine through the branches!

I have been studying when I can and my companion, when not stealing paper clips, keeps me company!

This is the middle of the challenge for May and we have some wonderful pieces of work entered for the challenge. Remember, you need to do the TWIST to be considered for the DT Favorite....and NO STAMPS PLEASE...although this message is getting through now.

The inspiration this week is inspirational!

Vicki

What can you create for this theme?

You have two weeks left!

One Week Left for challenge#110

 The Challenge #110 is to have some fun with animals 

and the TWIST is to layer it up!

Today in Australia it is ANZAC DAY

It is the most important national day for most of us in the year

Australians also love their football. The home of football is Melbourne and the 
MCG is the main stadium where it is played. 
A game on the MCG is important - on ANZAC DAY it is stupendous. 

Today, over 73 000 people are at the ground there watching two teams clash and millions watching across the country on TV.

At the start of the game, there is an ANZAC service.

My Granddaughter was asked to sing the NZ National Anthem there at the start of the game today (and for the game there last night)

Needless to say - a very proud Grandmother!

I made a card too for today.....as inspiration for the last week...

Fun with Animals is the theme but my animal (human) is probably not fun

Lots of layers happening though!

I watercoloured the background and torn card for the hills. the poppy field is a die cut and so is the soldier and the sentiment. There are at least 4 layers.

You have five days to enter as like always we always end at midnight on the Friday night. 

Midway through April and Challenge#110: Theme is Animals and TWIST is Layers......

 Hello Peeps. Currently typing this up with one cat on the printer and  another around my feet! Small one is trying to climb to older brother without much luck! The autumnal afternoons are turning cool and Weasley is happy to come in and warm himself up chasing Bingo around and hissing at him! The both want to be fed but were appeased with a treat for a while. 

Save me Mum!

Autumn has arrived and we are looking at cool days, green tomatoes and wearing layers!

Some of our small villages have a distinct English look - this is Deloraine in the north of the state. 

Lots of English trees......

Remember, we have two more weeks to run.....and no stamps thanks........

The Challenge is to have some fun with animals and the TWIST is to layer it up!

Some DT inspiration might get you thinking........

Remember, two weeks to go!

(PS I will get to emails and stuff this week hopefully!)

Winners from March and Week 2 of the April Challenge#110: Animal Fun with a Twist of layering

 

Hello Peeps!

Hope you are all hanging in there - life is becoming more and more difficult for us all but if we remain kind to each other and supportive, we will get through to the other side relatively unscathed. 

Welcome to week two of the April Challenge

Challenge #110: Animal Fun!

TWIST: Layer it Up!

Any animal you use - human or non-human - will fit this one.
Plus it is around Easter so you can use the rabbits and chicks and ducklings
 to your hearts (or harts) content!

Life has been a bit hectic for the team but we have some winner's to share anyway!

For the random Number winner

No 20: Golden  Goddess  Alicia

Congratulations Alicia

I will be in touch regarding collecting the prize

The DT Favourite could have been so many but eventually went to:

No 18 Paper Whims

This embodied so much from the last challenge - thinking outside the square; no stamps; journalling - a legitimate paper craft activity not used very often; and humour! However, it was simple and thus so effective. Not to say others were not effective too - they certainly were, but this one had so much character and the three images were tied together so well. I am sure we could all relate to the theme of coffee, music and crafting during Covid shutdowns!

For this challenge, remember please NO STAMPS

Keti

Isn't this cute!

I found an old (and I mean old) decoupage or papertolle sheet with some teddy bears in my cleaning up and decided to reduce the stash by creating this small card. The ingredients come from a variety of places--too many to name. Decoupage seems to have gone out of fashion or I am just not seeing it in my weekly forages into the internet but I still enjoyed making this quick little number. It is layered and I added another with the heart doily to give it a 3 D look!

The layers can be seen here more clearly

My crafting companion on this wet day--his big brother Weasley has been growling at him all day, so he is now fast sleep at my feet. This photo was taken yesterday - he has so many toys out but these two- rat and bear - are the favorites now!

Happy Crafting - you have until the end of April to enter!
