I hope you are enjoying the beautiful sunny weather! I am spending my time mostly outside so I am not so active at the blogland lately.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am here today to announce that our new challenge at Stamps and Stencils has just started and our lovely Sue has chosen the theme: <a href="http://stampsandstencils.blogspot.com/2017/05/words-with-meaning.html" target="_blank">Words with Meaning</a>!</div>

These can be quotes that are particularly meaningful to you or family sayings ! So, for this challenge I want to see your words taking centre stage, big and bold ! Remember, as always, you need to include some stamping or stencilling or both ! </span></div>

I was inspired by the artist Dede Willingham (<a href="http://inkiwell.blogspot.hr/" target="_blank">Inkiwell</a>) and her fantastic artwork so I decided to alter an old big book I found at our local charity shop. </div>

Hi, friends!<br>
It's May already and I hope you are enjoying the beautiful Spring weather.<br>
I am here today to share with you my mixed media project I created for our new challenge at <a href="http://stampsandstencils.blogspot.com/2017/05/fabric-and-fibres.html" target="_blank">Stamps and Stencils</a>.<br>
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cec is hostessing the challenge this month and she has chosen the theme: Fabric and Fibres.<br>
This is how she describes her theme:<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #626262; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px; text-align: left;">Let's add some fabric and/or fibres to our creations this month. You can use linen, burlap, organza, wool, lace, ribbon, rope to name a few. The list is almost endless but whatever you add, make sure there is some stamping or stenciling (or both) on your creation as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love to use fabric and fibre elements in my projects and so decided to create a mixed media paper doll with lots of different fabric details.<br>
Here is what I came up with:</div>

Hello friends and visitors!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's my first post in 2017 and I want to share with you a vintage tag I created for a new challenge at <a href="http://stampsandstencils.blogspot.com/2017/01/swirls-whirls-and-flourishes.html" target="_blank">Stamps and Stencils!</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ruth is hostessing the challenge this month and she has chosen the theme 'Swirls, Whirls and Flourishes'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is how she describes her challenge theme:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #626262; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.2px;"> It may be chilly January but this months challenge doesn't have to be anything</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #626262; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px; text-align: left;"> to do with winter, this month I'd like you to usher in the New Year by creating any mixed media piece you like as long as somewhere you include a swirl or a whirl or a flourish and some stamping or stenciling, of course!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi, friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our new challenge has just started today at <a href="http://stampsandstencils.blogspot.hr/2016/12/christmas-wishes.html" target="_blank">Stamps and Stencils</a>! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://craftdabbler-toni.blogspot.hr/" target="_blank">Toni</a> is hostessing the challenge this month and she has chosen the theme 'Christmas Wishes'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is how she describes her challenge theme:</div>

Christmas, like it or lump it, it rolls around every year and seems to arrive faster than ever. If you celebrate Christmas, it's likely that you'll be making cards, gift tags, decorations or even creating your own wrapping paper. My Christmas Wish is to see some of the creative things you make, in order to spread a little seasonal love to your families and friends. My only request is that you include some stamping or stenciling or even both!</span><br>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #626262; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px; text-align: left;"><br></span>

I decided to use a faux rust technique with some of my favourite dies and to create my own patterned paper as a background. </div>

Hi, crafty friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am back today to share with you my project I created for our new challenge at <a href="http://stampsandstencils.blogspot.com/2016/10/elements-of-nature-challenge.html" target="_blank">Stamps and Stencils</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our wonderful <a href="http://sewpaperpaint.blogspot.hr/" target="_blank">Autumn</a> is hostessing the challenge and she has chosen the theme 'Elements of Nature'. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is how she describes her challenge theme:</div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #626262; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #626262; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Whether you are inspired by the glorious world around us with the changing seasons, or tempted to use elements of nature in your art work, this month we'd love to see your nature inspired entries. Anything goes as long as you include a natural element in your art which can be either either stamped or an actual item ! As always you need to include stamping or stenciling. </span><br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #626262; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">***</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love using natural elements in mixed media projects and I decided to alter a book being inspired by this amazing challenge theme. </div>

The final result looks like this:</div>

Hello, friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you are all doing fine! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's time for our new challenge at <a href="http://anythingbutcutechallenge.blogspot.com/2016/09/challenge-17-friendship.html" target="_blank">Anything But Cute</a> mixed media challenge blog and I am hostessing the challenge this month. I have chosen the theme 'Friendship'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I believe that friendship is one of the most important things in our life and that everyone needs a good friend to count on. We all have at least one really good friend who we love and cherish. So, this challenge theme is dedicated to our lovely friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Dogs are man's best friend. They are simply awesome and do all of the little things that put smiles on our faces. They give you love, support, understanding and most of all they are loyal. I decided to create an art journal page about our pet friends and I used an old book as an art journal for my project. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is what I created.</div>
