Happy New Year

So far, this year has been all about the rain.  Considering that it is summer here and that I work outdoors in summer I'm not looking forward to going back to work on Monday!  I really hope that the rain lets up for a while but considering the thunderstorms last night I somehow doubt it!

It is a long while since I've created anything with an image from Eureka Stamps.  I spotted a challenge being sponsored by Eureka Stamps and figured it was a good chance to use one of the images I had already printed out!

Until Further Notice Celebrate Everything

We are at the start of a New Year and we have an exciting line up of challenges for 2018 at Path Of Positivity.  For January, we have a theme of Shades of Blue.  For me, blue is a colour that I associate with water.  My life revolves arounds swimming so water is very special to me.  This month, our challenge is sponsored by Décosse's Dynamite Doodles and Scribbles Designs.

For the start of this challenge, I have used a paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles and an image called Brrr Clock and sentiment  from Scribbles Designs.

I have also used some gems, a strip of blue mesh ribbon, a bluebird sticker and blue cardstock for matting.  Colouring is copic markers.  I added Glossy Accents to the clock face.

Merry Christmas

This is my first challenge on a new Design Team.  The weekly challenge at CHNC hasn't had a Design Team before and I'm excited to be on this team.  The optional theme for this challenge is Upcycle or Use something Old.  My something old are my background paper and the lace.

I have used an image and a sentiment from Bugaboo Stamps.  Colouring is with copic markers.  The paper is from a christmas paper pad by MME.  I also added some lace, and some pearls.
