Make it 'Colourful' at TioT's

 

Make it Colourful.....

is the  theme of our new Challenge over at Try it on Tuesdays

I have created a  digital scrapbook page using some fun  images

 that  I'm sure to  have used in the past from my

image files [notes in my sidebar]. The background colours are  paint mop ups.

My imagination has the little radish  girl saying to her tall celery stick sister....

'look at that rabbit eating dad's carrots.

 Well,  seeing a blue  rabbit would make us all look again and have a smile.

Please pop over to TioT's to see what the team have been creating,

 we look forward to visiting you to see your ideas and colours for this theme.

Keep it Simple ...... at TioT's

 

The  new challenge theme for the next two weeks over at

Try it on Tuesdays is......

'Keep it Simple'

I have made a simple digital card, that will be easy to send to friends and family,

 just to let them know I  am thinking of them..

Postage can be quite expensive these days but when you have internet it doesn't take long to send a greeting or a message  to let folk know that you care.

We hope you will join us at TioT's and share  your  projects with us,

what you make is entirely up to yourselves as long as you use the challenge theme.

 We all have different ideas and look forward to seeing yours,

 please pop over to the TioT blog to see what we have been making.

In the Garden ...... at TioT's

 In the Garden.....

is the new challenge theme over at Try it on Tuesdays

On this digital page I decided to create

 a garden style  that I have always admired,

a cottage  garden.

  A small home, surrounded by trees and plants.

Maybe there will be a  few weeds, but for me

 it would be a place to relax on a warm day,

 listen to the birds, watch the insects and butterflies.

We hope you will join us for this new theme.

 Please pop over to see what the team have been creating  to share with you all. 

Things with Wings..... at TioT's

 

Things with Wings......

is the  challenge theme for the next two weeks over at

 Try it on Tuesdays

you will find all the information

 here

 and be able to see how the design team interpreted this new topic.

Once again I decided to make a digital page and as you can see

 my chosen 'things' with wings are butterflies and bees. 

They always look so busy as they hover and flutter

 around the flowers in the garden.

We hope you will join us at TioT's and look forward

 to seeing what you make and create for this new theme.

Here Comes Summer ..... at TioT's

 

Here Comes Summer.....

is the new challenge theme over at

  Try it on Tuesdays

I used a selection from my stored  images to create this digital  page.

I was thinking of the warm sunny days to come,

sitting relaxing with a cool drink close by.

its good to have dreams, so I will explain what would happen in real life for me.

First of all it would have to be warm.

Yes to sit outside, but not in the sun.

Yes a cool drink, most probably lemonade and a good book to read.

We hope you will join us for this theme,

 please pop over to TioT's for all the information 

and to see how we all interpreted this topic.

Book Pages........ at TioT's

 

'Book Pages'.....

is the new challenge theme over at...

Try it on Tuesdays.

We look forward to seeing how you interpret this topic

 and hope you will join us.

All the information can be found here here .

I made a digital journal page, which  includes  a selection of images of books.

[notes can be found  in my sidebar about my digital pages.]

Most days  I do spend time reading a book

 and belong to a reading group at my local library,

we've just read 

The Silence of the Sea by Yrsa Sigurdardoittir.

The current book on the table beside me is called

A Night of Flames by Matthew Harffy

Emboss it...... at TioT's

 'Emboss It'....

is the new challenge theme starting today over at 

Try it on Tuesdays

  

 

The card I made could be useful for many occasions ,

 the base was,   a mop up,

with a stamped  black embossed and a water coloured image

 it  is  an old piece that I have recycled,

from my stash of things that may in the future be useful.

It is a long while since I used embossing powder and the search for it took quite a while.

 next question  was would I get the lid off.? 

 .My hands have  issues of their own these days.

So you will guess there were spills and and a few unmentionable  words.

The heat gun decided to go in strike so  most of the powder didn't melt.
think you will understand why I went down  the recycle route.

WE hope you will share your embossing with us at TioT's,

please pop over   here to see what  the team created for this theme.

Small things .... at TioT's

 A new challenge theme is starting today over at

Try it on Tuesdays

'Small things.'

My first idea for this theme was to make a selection of 

 mixed occasion gift cards, that I could print off the computer when  needed . 

The one with the cake for example is sized at    7 x9 cms.. the others are smaller.

I also made this digital journal page

Yes the page is journal size , but, the image is small.

We are looking forward to see how you interpret this theme

 and hope you will join us at

Tiot's 

where you will find all the information and see what we made.

Fantasy...at Tiot's.

 Fantasy...

 is the theme for the next two weeks 

over at Try it on Tuesdays

I have created a digital journal  scene for this topic, 

where Alice  the mermaid is holding a party for her friends.

The fish swim in,  hoping they won't be late, they  love to dance..

Can you imagine  frogs singing ?,  with Leggy,  the octopus lady dancing,

 to the music  from the  local  Frog Boy Band.

That is the fantasy I can see on this page.

We hope you will join the fun  at TioT's 

,please call over  to see our ideas on this theme

and find all the information,

 we look forward to seeing what you create..

Rainbow Colours........at TioT's

 

Rainbow Colours....

is the challenge  theme for the next two weeks over at 

Try it on Tuesdays.

The back story to my idea for this digital  page

 is how youngsters love to use bright colours

 when they are using  or playing with paints.

We might think of the beautiful  rainbow we see in the sky, 

 for these  children  its experimenting with many varieties and colours of paint.

I think they are loving  using the spray paint and having fun.

Please share your ideas on our  rainbow colour theme  with us at TioT's

and  pop over to see our interpretations here

Use a Stencil ......at TioT's

 

                                                                Use a Stencil....

is the new challenge theme over at Try it on Tuesdays

This is the selection of starter pages I played around with in my digital journal, using a  simple style stencil as my starting place. I  tried changing the colours , but decided to go with the shade of green

I  used  the stencil as a background for the digital card I made for the TioT's theme.

                                           This is the page that is in my digital journal

I hope you will join us over at Try it on Tuesdays

 and look forward to seeing how you use your stencils.

Spring...... at TioT's

'Spring'.....

 

Spring.....is the new challenge theme over at Try it on Tuesdays.

 Springtime dreams,  

   is the title I would give this digital journal  page that I  made for the theme.

At this time of the year I think of the springtime flowers in the garden,

 the trees are showing the way with new growth and buds waiting to  share their  blossom.

Perhaps you dream and plan a special holiday,

out walking perhaps we'll see rabbits,  hopping  in the fields,

soon we will be seeing lambs and spring will have arrived.

At TioT's we are looking forward to seeing how you interpret this theme 

and look forward to visiting you .

Its a long while since I joined in any other Blog challenge themes

A digital page from me,  with scraps of text in the background, a couple of  quotes,

went well with the page and how these days,

 I enjoy crafting using my digital program and resources.

Winter Blues......at TioT's

I have made a digital Birthday card.

 Digital is my go to mode of crafting these days, the hands no longer  grip things as well as they used to.

 Mistakes are easier to  delete , 

where a dropped ink pad in the middle of a page means starting again.

Thank you for calling in to see me here, 

 I wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year.
