January 2021 challenge.

 Happy new year! Here's to a COVID free 2021.


Our winner for December was   Rosslyn.
 Congratulations!
                                              ************************************

Now on to our new challenge which is.........


Feature mushrooms, toadstools or other fungi on your page.
You will be given free reign on this, the fungi can be in the photo or on the papers or as an embellishment or stamp.

Searching through my own layouts and cards I've come up with these

My daughter's toadstool cupcakes note the Memory Maze painted white mushrooms bottom right.
(Background was done using gesso through a mask over red paper.)


Toadstool salt and pepper shakers on the windowsill, plus bottlecap embellishments featuring mushrooms.


This one used Flourish with a bling toadstools (no longer available)


And a card featuring a mushroom border plus a bigger featured mushroom.


Now on to the Design Team girls.

October Challenge

 


The OCTOBER challenge is to use something circular and lots of layers.

We hope this photo will inspire you to join in the fun.

DALE has kindly donated our prize this month. 

I made some tags and flags and there are two paper packs. The papers are big enough you can mount 4x6 photos on to them.
