Towards the end of March Challenge!

Just popped in to show you another wonderful piece of quilled inspiration from



Isn't that stunning!

The sentiment is so true as well - the older I get the more I accept this now

But I do tend to be impatient as well, (but not as much as the grandchildren!) and I am anxious to see what else you can create for our current challenge, which finishes at midnight, Friday (ASET) That still gives you over 24 hours to get something in the challenge!

Nearing the end of March! Challenge #45 - Peace/Harmony

Happy Harmony Day


Then.........
hippity, hoppity.......guess who will soon be showing up, laying eggs everywhere and generally creating a big problem for parents of small children everywhere? Doesn't seem as if we had March at all - a blink of the proverbial eye and now it's nearly Easter.

Still there is ONE MORE WEEK LEFT!

Yep, one more week to be in the chance to win this!

 1 New Spellbinders die

How I hear you ask?
Just create something around the theme of
Harmony or/and Peace ­

There are only six entries to date, so if you put one in, there is a very good chance of the random number selector choosing your entry and this new die will be winging its way to you!

The twist is to incorporate flight into your article/piece/creation

We have some inspiration for you, as always!


Yes, I know you will say the Peace symbol is sideways - it's not actually sideways now in the actual card; long story, you will have to go to my blog to read it! 

So what happens now?

1. Think up an idea

2. Make it

3 Enter it in the challenge 
HERE before midnight on the 28th

4. Sit back and wait to hear if you are a winner!

WE have some more inspiration from DT members - they are wonderful people so please go and have a look at their websites and leave them some love. They certainly deserve it! Tracey has been on leave and has returned with a bang, and wait till you see what Jen has come up with! Wyn's balloons are just so pretty too.



Peaceful scene....balloon flight over the Med.

So, off you go and have a look-see at their blogs and then start to think - how can I incorporate this theme and twist into a card, or scrap page or item without using my stamps!

Then - most important- don't forget to add your creation to our challenge HERE!

Peace of mind


Mine uses one of the very many photographs I have of the beautiful places I have visited in my home state. 
This is a coastal stream on East Coast of Tasmania very near to where I grew up - in fact if you go to my blog, and look towards the left of my blog picture, it was taken around that spot somewhere.

So, go HERE to enter your work or just to look at the wonderful inspiration already there before going to create your own wonderful piece

Well, that went fast!

February that is!

Time to move onto the next challenge for March


You know, our DT comes from many different parts of the world, and our entrants in the various challenges from even more places.  I am constantly excited to find out that the latest entrant comes from a country that I have not (yet) visited! Each time I learn something new about the country and/or the people. And the main thing I have learned is that we are all just people, enjoying the same things and sharing the same ideas and hopes and dreams. 

So, when I was putting together the list of themes for 2015, I came up with this one!

Harmony or/and Peace ­

There are many symbols of harmony or peace with the dove being probably one of the most recognizable. 

You can however, create anything around the theme of Harmony and/or Peace.

The twist is to incorporate flight into your article/piece/creation

This is the prize for the winner

Firstly, we have a Guest Designer, Lou Lou
she has created for us an Art Journal Page


Isn't that a great piece of journaling!

The DT have also been very creative and come up with things I would never have thought of using this theme/twist. Remember, please do not use stamps.

Remember we will be announcing the winners for February next week and
