Another new week...last week of school, well Kindy for me, before the school holidays...are you all ready??! I can't wait. My dad and mum are coming up for a week and then they are taking Riley back for a weeks holiday with his cousin. He is sooo excited!
Last week I thought I better do a few challenges. So here they are.....
123 Challenge
COLOUR: BROWN
WORD: CREATE
TECHNIQUE: USING TAPE - DECORATIVE/MASKING
Imagination....I have used some Tim Holtz tape as a background which I also misted over and 'roughed' up..Is that enough brown??...I never know when doing these challenges, how much to use and how much other colours we can use...oh well this is where it led me!
Love this quote which has the word 'CREATE' in it.
Closer look at the tape....

Another gorgeous colour challenge which I just had to do!
So Carefree....Really getting into my doiley stash lately...must get some more soon :)))
A closeup....check out the super cute fish button from Purple Pumpkin! This button was released at the last sale.
Okay better go and catch up on some blog hopping!
Have a great week :))))
