ARTastic in March 2015

Hi there
It is  mid March  and it is time for the second  team reveal
over at ARTastic
This month we feature a delightful work by Barbara Hanrahan 
called The Dog, the Cat,
and here  below is my interpretation of the 
inspiration picture

It was the colours and patterns that inspired me 
to make this LO  with this photo of my kids, 
taken at Lizard Point  in Cornwall.
It was such a blustery day where the rain 
came in sideways from the sea...
but oh my word how much fun we had :) 

CRITERIA - please use a quote or saying

...and here is my saying

I love the mix of secondary colours together, and it works
so well on a mixed media page.

these litte wooden cameras are so cute and 
can be coloured to fit on any type of page, card
or other paper projects

I bought these little cog wheels in a small
bead and pearls shop in St. Ives in cornwall,
so what better page to use them on than this one...


I hope you will pop over to ARTastic  to see 
the first reveal in March as well, and what the 
talented DT  ladies has come up with.

Thanks for stopping by today :)

A BIG dollop of  Cornish cloted cream on top of

"home made" strawberry jam.....coz that is the Cornish way...

cloted cream on top,  to "show off" that you use the real stuff

on your scones....

not like in Devon or rest of England ( ;) where jam is on top lol

anyway...(as I am getting hungry ;) lol

Here you see the best Cream Tea ever...in Port Isaac

in Cornwall, Treasured on my DT Page made for

 A hidden tag i a mini envelope

... the ARTastic criteria is to use striped paper

somewhere on your page.

If you want to play along with CSI as well,

 this is what you need to add

when you upload to the entry gallery

My evidence:

-stripes

-scallops

Testimony:

-document a vacation
-Use stripes as journaling lines

The Scene (inspiration image) as inspiration
for journaling.

  My son Marius likes to relax on the beach and it is soooo
 hard to get him into the sea, and with relaxing comes the use
of the mobile phone....and documented in both photos
yes....he is on the phone lol ;)

 This  St.Ives Sunny Day button I bought at

TATE ART gallery in St Ives

As cornwall was our favourit holiday place in England,

St.Ives became our regular destination for every trip

we had down there....and that's why I have endless photos

from there too. These are from  the summer of 2011.

  

Hidden journaling under the top photo

Double Up challenge reveal in June with Distressing at ARTastic and Rainy Day at Pixels and paper

Hello every one :) 

Today I have a double DT challeng reveal.

One for ARTastic and

 one for Pixels and Paper

I am  normaly on the Team B for ARTastic which is posted 

on the blog the 15th every month, but now in June I have swaped 

over to team A and has the same reveal date as Pixels and paper

on  the 1st, but as it is the same blog ownwer I can do a

"double"  blog post with some advert for both blogs ;)

This first one is my page for ARTastic where the criteria

this month is DISTRESSING

Inspired by this fun picture "The Jam Session" by Max Mannix

It was the feeling of outdoor activity that inspired me to make
this page with holiday photos for my niece's album.
 I loved the colours on the inspiration picture so I tried to use
the same on the LO and did both paper distressing,
with a distressing tool,
 and colour distressing on the paper edges.

A few close ups...

a hidden journaling tag

If you want to see some more, why not pop over to
 ARTastic
 to see what the rest of  the team has created.

This next LO is for 
Pixels and Paper

Keeping it in Red Black and White
as the inspiration picture

Inspired by this amazing picture

some closies...

The fantastic "Rainy day" inspiration picture with bright red,

black and white made me think of a holiday in Cornwall in June 2012.
It was raining everyday the whole week
 but Tirill still wanted to go surfing...
...and with her wet suit on it is a perfect colour match
to the challenge picture :)

The sea shell are from the beach in St.Ives.
 Every beach where Tirill and I have collecte shells and stones,
we have labeled them in a sorting box
so we later know which place they come from,
to  use on the right scrapbooking page.

Both the little wooden red gears and flair button

 are from St.Ives too

The rainy-day button I bought at the TATE Art Museum

on Port Meor Beach in St.Ives

and the gears are from a local craft-jewlery-bead store

on the little town beach, so it was perfect to use as

embellishments  on this LO

So if you like a different inspiration this is your challenge.

At Pixels and Paper you can creat DIGITALLY

 or with any paper project you like.

Just let us know how the picture of the month

inspired you :)

Thanks for hangin' in there through this loooog blog post,

and if you leave a message it really means alot to me :)

Happy scrappy day!!!
