MOO MANIA

this week the theme is AFRICA across at Moo Mania and I have no real moos to share only some ATCs that I made a few years ago where part of the design is almost the same size as a moo.

the images are from Inkadinkado and have been coloured with felt pens. I've added assorted beads, threads  yarns and the images have been mounted on "tiger stripe" handmade paper.

Film

It's a new week over at twinchie challenge and this week is all about Film in either movie version or "layer" version.

I feel I've risen to the recycle challenge this week though....a background piece of card given a more definite colour thanks to a Promarker with some film strip effect "holes" along 2 edges, I then raided the local SHOPI supermarket freebie weekly which includes a tv program's listing! Yeay! I found star wars episode 1: the phantom menace.

Hope you all appreciate the lengths I'm going to so as to participate in things this winter...Hee hee !

Which reminds me that I must buy a glue stick :-( and another time I must remember to bring a small ruler to leave here......see you all soon....

Journal 52

A challenge for me as I've virtually no supplies here in France ....

Week 1 up up & away

Eyeshadow background!, torn edges, charcoal pencil border, Promarker balloons, biro strings/ hands/ speech bubble.

Some random ideas on the subject in an exercise book my niece left here last year...

Hot air balloon, angel, birds. 

Week 2: somewhere

In my case it's chalet 8 in the French alps 

Promarker sky & buildings. Green scribble forest, chairlift in pencil. 

Writing between lines. 

Amulet

Every inchie Monday time again and this week is all about amulets....

Ankh being the Egyptian cross

But personally I wear a kokopelli that I got in California 

Silver set with jet & opal :-)

And here is an inchie version

This was stamped with versamark & brushed with....a bronze brown eye shadow!

I'm off to see what everyone else has created now & maybe later, when its due to snow, I'll do the latest journal 52 page

Metallic

I've had a rake through the few bits n bobs that are here at the chalet & "oh Joy!" I can manage this weeks twinchie challenge. 

A paper artsy flower coloured with a copper Sharpie on a random coloured scrap (oil pastels) that I had tossed in with my bits at the last minute :-). The centre is a glitter glue dot snipped off an other scrap... Not necessarily the route I would normally have taken but I did want to join in as much as possible this winter seeing as we do have Internet!

Inchie

It's time for our first inchie of 2014! The theme had me intrigued as I'd no idea what "Alice blue" meant. After some Internet checking I discovered it to be a colour that Alice Roosevelt wore a lot.

So here is my contribution to this weeks inchies....

An inch of watercolour paper, fake stitching, Alice blue stamped in black & a heart button....

I'll try to be more imaginative with the next one!

Birds

A new year, where did the last one go? Anyway, there is a new theme across at Moo Mania and it just so happens that I have a little creation, un posted so far, that fits the bill :-)

A paper scrap coloured with DI & some fake stitching using a sharpie, the stamp is one I bought on a trip to the USA in Marshalls which is part of the TKMAXX group.

We've had more snow...and the crowds are starting to leave the resort as the week draws to a close & everyone has to go back to work/school so it will soon be time to hit the slopes again :-)

Take care everyone.....
