* Path of Positivity: Whimsy Doodle Mushroom House

Hello!

Today is the midway point of the Path of Positivity September challenge.

The challenge lasts for the whole month of September.

The theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of

Meditate/Quiet Time.

Prizes this month include:

THREE images from Tindaloo, Digi Doodle Stamps, our guest sponsor for this month, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
ONE image (value of $5 or less) from Scribbles Designs, for the post or project that the team deems most inspiring of the bunch based on all qualifying entrants.
One digital image from Creative Bug Digital SnapShots for each person chosen as a DT Delight.

Our optional theme this month is

Meditate/Quiet Time.

We all need a bit of time to relax and be ourselves. Meditation is a great way to centre yourself, but simply being quiet and at ease can go a long way in achieving stillness as well. In our stillness we aim to become emotionally calm, focus our attention (being mindful) and be mentally clear.

Bliss ...

So, this month we would like you to design a project that focuses on Meditation or Quiet Time

This month let stillness inspiration you.

I was lucky to receive the Whimsy Doodle Mushroom House from Tindaloo. I teamed it with the lovely wonky square frame that Hilde, the Tindaloo artist, gave us.. Just following the doodle lines and adding various shades of colour was very relaxing.

I made this Home Sweet Home card:

The image was coloured with Copic markers and white Posca pen highlights were added. I fussy cut a second image and adhered it over my coloured image with low tack tape. I then was able to stencil over the background using Distress Oxides inks. I cut the image and background to fit inside the black and white frame.

Many thanks to Tindaloo, this month's guest sponsor,

and to Scribbles Designs as the ongoing sponsor of the challenge

We would love to see your creations!

Just make sure that your entry is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some way!

* Vera Lane Studio: Esmee in Paris

Hello

Here is my second post for today.

It is my DT day at Vera Lane Studio and we have a new digi set released today. The lovely set is called 'Esmee in Paris' and consists of 8 digi elements.

I have used just 3 of the elements to create my journal page.

Isn't she sweet! She's making her way home, with her French bread, via the Arc de Triomphe.

I coloured the images with Copics and placed them on a background made by stamping with one of Janet's stencils (#95 Sunrise) and using Distress Oxide inks. I added yellow and white Posca paint pen splatters and outlined the sun. I also added some stamping using Janet's AALL & Create #338 Background Noise stamp set. I made a path of washi tape (#21 Beachrock by Janet, available from AALL & Create) for Esmee to stand upon.

That's all for now.

I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane. It's such a friendly, fun place to be!

* Gecko Galz: Ballerinas

Hello

Today is my Gecko Galz DT day and I am sharing two cards with ballerinas, as this month the Gecko Galz Customer Challenge theme is Ballerina Girl.

I love these images I chose from the Tiny Dancer collage set. I teamed them with some papers from the Paper Roses

The green and peachy-pink colours are some of my favourites.

Some sequinned tulle was used as ribbon through the centre of this first card. I overlaid a piece of cheesecloth and popped the image on foam tape for dimension. I added some beautiful lace that was gifted to me by my crafting friend, Janet Stokes, and I made some flowers and die cut some leaves. The papers are distressed around the edges and kraft card was used as a mat. The sentiment is from a Tim Holtz sticker pad.

My second card has some gold mesh fabric beneath the image. A piece of pink organza ribbon was added along with a die cut scalloped border. I overlaid some ivory ribbon flower trim and added a tiny pearl to the centre of each one. Again I made some paper flowers and added a sprig of natural dried flowers which I dyed with Oxide inks.

Here are the Gecko Galz products I used for my cards:

That's all for now!

* Vera Lane Studio: Chameleon

Hello

I have a fun ATC to share featuring one of the Vera Lane Studio Chameleons.

Isn't this little guy cute! I love his sentiment, too!

I coloured him in one of my favourite colour combinations using Copic markers. Blending these two colours was a bit of a challenge, but with the aide of pen-to-pen blending and using the blender pen, I think I'll just about get away with it. His background is Distress Oxides, stamped with one of Janet Klein's AALL & Create stencils #114 Art. I added some stamping using her #338 Background Noise stamp set and added some texture paste through Abs's #124 Lotza Diamonds stencil.

* Vera Lane Studio: Heart Trinket Box

Hello

It's my Vera Lane Studio DT once again.

This week I decorated a little wooden heart trinket box using the third character from the Crush digi set which was released last week.. I love this little girl!

My image is coloured with Copics and fussy cut. The background is brayered acrylic paints which have been stamped and heat embossed with Janet's Background Noise stamps from AALL & Create.. I added some gold paint along the edges of the top of the box and some gold splatters.

The sides of the box are simply covered with AALL & Create washi tape, which is perfectly forgiving as it moulds itself over the hinges of the lid at the back. The top flower washi is Janet's and the bottom black washi is Bipasha's Power Words.

Here are my trinket box and hanging ornament from last week. Both use the Crush digi set.

That's all for now.

I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane. It's such a friendly, fun place to be!
