Whether the weather be fine,

Or whether the weather be not,

Whether the weather be cold,

Or whether the weather be hot,

We'll weather the weather

Whatever the weather,

Whether we like it or not!

environmental blog action day

We are a bit late for this as it was in fact Monday. However how green are you?

Do you recycle your paper bits, do you recycle old button, ribbons, labels or do you always buy new, Do you gut the paper behind your photos to make it go further? How small does a piece of paper have to be before you throw it away?

Personally I keep all scraps of paper as big as my smallest punch. I do sometimes gut behind photos but not always. I do recycle newspapers but tend not to recycle scraps from my craft room. I have a load of buttons I bought from a market stall that had been cut off old clothes.

Helen's challenge

OK this is what I have done. I bought this bottle opener from Tesco's for 11p.

Then altered it to this.

I sanded it first then painted it white as I had intended to make it into a christmas thing - possibly a personalised bottle opener for the men. Then I realised that the circle would be a good place to put a photo so I did this instead. Have now bought some more and may make them into Christmas tree decorations as both sides could easily be decorated and they have the handy little hook on top to thread cotton or ribbon through

here is my Monogram P that I bought last weekend at Ally Pally...painted with ranger dabbers, script stamp, paper image, bloom and a bit of utee. Hope you like it!!

New Challenge

Hello I have thought long and hard for all of about 10 mins and have come up with our next challenge as ruth very kindly picked my very scary LO!!!!!!

I challenge you all to....



Alter something!!!!!!!!!

whether that is something designed for altering or something that you think is crying out to be altered.
Use your imagination to the best, and have fun

New month new challenge1

Just a little challenge. Incorporate a serendipity square somewhere on a LO.

Anyone need help with making a serendipity square?

OK to make a serendipity square.

1 Get a piece of card

2 Collect some papers or scraps that are similar in colour eg all pinks or a blend of eg blues and browns

3 cut or tear these papers into smallish pieces

4 Stick paper onto card randomly - overlapping so you cant see any card. Make sure each piece is well glued

5 Leave to dry

6 Cut out a square or squares from the card.

7 As you can see much depends on the size that you want your finished square to be or how many squares you want. The size you decide on will determine the size of the bits of paper that you use . e.gif you decide to do an inchie it would be no good cutting the bits of paper into 1 inch bits. LOL

Think pink for October

Think I've got it as pink as I can.

Winner of the "Angle" challenge......

IS.......



Helen.

I really liked your take on who you are - sister, daughter, etc as well as the range of photos of your head!!


I really liked all of the Layouts and liked all the various "angles" but Helens stood out to me especially as one of the LO that looked at the "different angle" in more than one way.
