Summer of Color 2014

I started Summer of Color with good intentions and did week 1 in the intended week.

However week 2 didn't happen in week 2!  The colours chosen were coral and teal with a splash of white.

Instead I did it while I was doing week 3.  After last week's link to the Music Monday post on Cherished, Called, Created I thought I would continue the theme.

I used my Gelli Plate again to make this background.  I used my new Honeycomb stencil.  I cut the paper down to stick into my Moleskine Planner.

I used sticker letters for the word overcomer.  I printed out the Bible verse and stuck it down.

 You can hear the song that inspired it on Music Monday.

So onto this week.  Week 3 where the colours are Lavender and Grey with a touch of Plum. I used the colours on the Gelli Plate with the Honeycomb stencil and an iStencil called Dangles.

The Music Monday theme was from Toby Mac's song: Speak Life.  I made the page in the same way as the previous page.

Tomorrow I'll show you how these pages fit with my Documented Life Planner.

Thanks for stopping by.

More happy days

Only 25 days left to share of #100happydays.  Sounds almost like the countdown to Christmas - and I've seen some of those on Facebook - put deliberately to annoy people.

So today there are less photos.  Only days 76 to 83

Day 76 A couple of ducks that came to church.  A friend is posting photos of random ducks on Mondays on Facebook so these raised a smile when I saw them at church.

Day 77  Bright yellow flowers on my walk today

Day 78  Packed ready for a textile workshop tomorrow.  I also FaceTimed with Andy & Naomi and in case you missed it I was featured in an online magazine.

Day 79 Textile tags in the making. A workshop with Angie Hughes

Day 80 Tags finished apart from eyelets

Day 81 Bargains from Hobbycraft. 3 mixed media pads of paper for £10 and 3 foam rollers for £2

Day 82 Ackee & Saltfish. Dinner at the Wildmoor Oak

Day 83 Finished book cover

Thanks for stopping by.

Textile Tags

On Wednesday I went to The Bramble Patch with Nicky to do a class with Angie Hughes called Tantalising Textile Tags.

We were asked to take some stamps with us and I was going to choose hearts and butterflies but then changed my mind and took map  related ones and some old maps.

We cut tags out of pelmet vile and then attached calico to them with bondaweb.  I made 3 tags 6x3 inches and one that was 10x3 inches.

We stamped on the calico and add bits and pieces.  These are my tags in progress.

At home I machined around the edges of each tag.

I trimmed round the tags and then frayed the edges.

I put eyelets in the tags.

I put a book ring through and tied some ribbons.

This has given me lots of ideas especially for the Advent study I am thinking of running later in the year.

Thanks for stopping by.
