Spread a little of aloha

 

Happy Monday! Today starts a new challenge at Inky Paws. This is the card that almost wasn't. Last Sunday, I took a nasty spill in my studio. I smashed up my face, knees, hands, and broke my nose. The bruising was so bad that I thought it would last forever,  but I am looking better every day. I thankful that I didn't break any teeth or injure my eyes. 

I wasn't sure I would feel well enough to be creative, but sitting at my desk and being creative was the best medicine!

Turned on its head, my CAS card with lots of beautiful white space features Newton's Nook's "Aloha Newton" and the "Tropical Leaves" stencil.

Today's musical inspiration is just asking you to spread a little aloha around the world!

You have two weeks to sketch it out at Inky Paws.  Let's see you use some Newton's Nook stencils in unusual ways! We will chose a RANDOM entry to win a $20.00 Newton's Nook store gift certificate. Our favorite entries from each challenge will be highlighted the following Monday, so all entries have a chance to be featured on the blog. 

The deadline to enter today's challenge is  Friday August 26, 2022 at MN CST. The winners will be announced on the following Monday at  Inky Paws.

Fragment Friday

Welcome to Fragment Friday. Today's fragment is one I created. I have noticed a few tiles that feature coffering. when I was done the base drawing, I saw how it could be coffered. 

 

Looking forward to experimenting more with this fragment.

 

Tangle Tuesday

 

 

 

After a pretty nasty fall, where I smashed my face up and broke my nose, I have been gently tangling, because the fine lines are stressful on my eyes. This study of crazy huggins was done while at the beach. In order, each tile was inspired by Melinda Barlow You Tube.Lesson #149, Sharonxww You Tube, Sharonxww You Tube, and Eni Oken . 

 

Humming along....

Still blogging ahead because I am still enjoying some beach time. 

You still have time to play along with our challenge at Inky Paws. . We are looking for cards using black, pink, green, and grey (As you can see I am using the British version!!)

Today's card features "Hummingbird" from Newton's Nook. 

 Thank you Seals and Croft for the musical inspiration this week!

Fragment Friday

Welcome to Fragment Friday. Today's fragment study uses fragment Y7. 

Tangle Tuesday

 Tangle Tuesday had to take on a beach theme, since that is where I am spending my time. This tangle is from last summer. Angie Gittles. Angie hosts "season tangles" quarterly. Season tangles are 4-5 classes taught by a variety of teachers with that season as a theme.cthe price is awesome- at $36.00 for 5 great classes you can't go wrong!

Today's tile was from the "Life is a Beach" by Michele Wimmers.

See you on Fragment Friday! Off to the beach!!

Looking Sharp

Greetings from the beach!! I am writing this post a head of time since I otherwise occupied with sand and surf!

Today starts a new challenge at Inky Paws! Such fun! Black, pink, green, and grey. Speaking of grey? Or is it gray? I vacillate when spelling this color. How do you spell it? Here is the difference.

Today's card features "Cuppa Cactus" and the retro sun and palm stencil" from Newton's Nook. You have probably noticed that I love that retro sun and palm stencil". I use the "sun" stencil for just that extra something on my cards.

There are no many songs about cactus, so I figured cactus grow in the desert, and picked a song about the desert.
