2 Challenges in one Post

Happy Sunday Everyone and hope your day is going well. It is the hottest day of the year so far here and I am sure the seafront will be full of happy holiday makers enjoying all the fun of the seaside. I have been crafting and gardening and will be watching the Wimbledon Final and German Grand Prix this afternoon so I am a happy bunny.

At Twinchie Challenge Blog the subject is Music and there are some wonderful examples by the DT


This is the one I made. I should have put, 'To live without my music would be impossible to do,' because that is how I feel. I love most music and feel happy listening to it what ever else I am doing.


The second challenge is at Tando Creative Blog where we are asked to make something that shows our Favourite artist.

I have always loved Monet paintings and especially the ones of his garden-it looks an amazing place to have created on canvas and in real life.

I made this postcard with images of our flowers that Vic took this week in our small garden. It is full of flowers, vegetables, insects, birds and even some resident frogs though we don't have a pond. They go into the little greenhouse and Vic waters them with the watering can. Forgot to say we do have lots of wild flowers as well in among the others and I love those just as much.

Always lovely to have you visit.

Love Chrissie x

Hello Everyone and thank you for the wonderful comments you left while I was away. I did have internet a few times but not for very long so I haven't been able to do my usual blog rounds. I will be back to normal now and look forward to seeing your makes. At Tag Tuesday dear Wendy chose Textures as her theme and it is going well. You still have a few days left to join us there with your textured tag so I hope to see your makes This tag is made of fabric that has metal drops on it. Haven't a clue how they do that but it was from quite a nice old tee shirt that I cut up. I used a plastic doillie and a metal adornment from a belt as well. Go Tag Thursday has Star or Stars as the theme for this week. Good to see more people joining in there as well. A bit of a tag revival going on I think. This is a digital tag with free to use tattoo designs and a background I made in Paint Shop Pro. At Art Journal Journey the theme chosen by Rosie is circles and runs until the end of the mon...

T is for Tag Tuesday and Inchie

Hello Friends and Followers. Nice to have you pop in today and thank you for your visit. At Tag Tuesday this time Wilma our teamie has chosen Cake as the theme I went straight out of the cake tin and into a Goth Wedding where the couple can't decided which cake to choose for the happy day. We have seen a few Goth Weddings when we have visited Whitby and they are terrific events with wonderful costumes worn by all. Vic isn't keen on me taking photographs of the Goths though I am sure they wouldn't mind. If you dress as they do I would think you crave attention. Their clothes and make-up are amazing. At Every Inchie Monday this week the theme the animal Fly As I have only being the heads of all the animal inchies this year I found a drawing of a fly's head--yuk. The colour choices are mine and may not be real Happy T Day if you have arrived from Altered Book Lover blog where Elizabeth and Bluebeard invite everyone to join in on Tuesday with a drink related post- or par...

It has texture paste. wood, a mirror, complete with me and my camera trying to take a picture. Mustn't forget the bit of fluffy wool as a tie as well.
