Week 4: Challenge #97 Who am I?

So.....the final week

We have no inspiration today but lots of
encouragement for you to enter.

Remember NO STAMPS

The challenge is
WHO AM I?

A positive position on what might define you.

The TWIST has two choices
You can either talk about your piece and how it reflects who you are or/and
you can use bright colours.

Yes there is the usual prize

$15 Aust value
Please make sure you either have PayPal or
I can purchase a gift voucher at the on-line shop of your choice.

Now I need to let you know why there is no
inspiration for you. I fell over a couple of weeks ago and managed to break my fibula at the ankle. It means I cannot get to my stash downstairs yet to play. Soon.....soon.....meanwhile sorry no inspiration.

One week to go
What can you create?

This week we have a new member of the team


What reflects me? Pink and sweet and lots of smiles.
I'm also a little dreamy from time to time.




"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








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







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



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
