Inchie and Twinchies

Hi All who pop by.

Yesterday was really sunny and hot and I thought summer had arrived at last but today it is dismal and rather cold on the NE UK coast. Think I may go for a longish walk as it is better to do that when it is cooler.

Well it is Monday again so time for Every Inchie Monday to have a new challenge. The theme this week is 'Story' but with only an inch square to work on I couldn't write much of a story

Always love a good Love Story with the poor maiden being chased by a villain and a hero

I also did some Twinchies for the Show Us your Twinchies Challenge-beautiful samples by the team as always.

The subject this time is In a English Country Garden so it was off to look at the photographs of our garden which is just right for this challenge

I made three of them smaller then added a brush strokes effect to them to make them look more Monet.

Then I stuck them onto the 2x2 inch backgrounds and did the edges with Promarkers.  Nearly forgot I stuck some peel-offs onto them--still lots of peel-offs to go but the pile is going down.

Have good day all

Love Chrissie xx

    Love your inchie. Very nice idea. I had the same problem: How much can I write on an inchie?

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...

Hi All. Last post from me for a week or more as we will be visiting daughter Linda and her husband in Cumbria then off to North Yorkshire after that. Not too sure when we will be back it all depends on the weather and our energy levels. Hoping to have internet connection sometime but will catch-up when I get back if not.  At Tag Tuesday we have the Texture theme chosen by our team member Wendy. Everyone is welcome to join in with us with their take on the theme. You can use any medium you like to create your tag This tag has corrugated card and ordinary card in the form of butterflies. 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. I would like to enter this at Go Tag Thursday  where the theme this week is Anything Goes. Don't forget to enter there if you make a tag this week for anywhere else and especially if you make one for the texture challenge. Try it on Tuesday stil...
