Rachel's Summer Fields June winner of the £20 Country View Crafts voucher, selected by Random Generator from the challenge entries is

#33 Susan Botham

Hello there - Rachel here with my winners for June's Summer Fields Challenge. There were a lot of beautiful entries but some seemed to fit the theme more than others - and my top three from these were:

#32 ellyscardcreatief

I thought this really embodied a summer field...grasses, sheep and wild flowers - all under a summer sky - beautiful!

#39 emmatrenouth 

This one is so summery and containsmany things from a summer field without showing an actuall grassy scene - its just so fresh and full of life!

#61 hotchpotchcreations

I love this and the blog post shows a great tutorial of how it evolved - just lovely!

My DT special mention has to go to Jo . Jo entered the challenge a few times but my favourite art journal page was this one ... its perfect for the theme! Love it Jo!

Thanks to all who entered - I do hope you'll give it another go this month with Sue's brilliant challenge!

Hugs rachel xx

Painting pots makes me very happy!!!!

Hello there! Rachel here and today and I want to share my love of painting pottery with you today! I have painted a cake stand that is a birthday present for a family member - her birthday has passed now so should be okay to show this on here. I used two aall and create stamp sets to create this. When I stamp up my pots I use any ink ...it will all burn off in the kiln. Since I have to overpaint everything I usually stamp in a colour that I will not use in the painting. In this picture you can see the stamped creation with only limited painting  (in black).

The glazes I paint with are specialist - not nomal paints but any pottery painting studio will let you bring your stamps and paint their pots with their glazes.

Here's the finished piece... fully glazed, overglazed and fired....

There's more details over on my blog here.I look forward to seeing what makes you happy!

Hugs

Keeping happy

Hi it's Jane here today with my 2nd project for our current "do more of what make you happy" challenge. 

I am never happier than when I am making cards, even though Dotty's teahouse is closed I am still making them so that I will have lots of stock for when she is finally able to open again.

One of the rooms in the teahouse is Alice in wonderland themed and cards I make using this theme are always very popular. They certainly seem to make customers' happy!

 So for today's post I am sharing a rather unusually coloured Cheshire cat using stamps by Visible Image to put a smile on everyone's face. If you would like to stroke  meet my cat and see how he came to life please pop on over to my blog here where a warm welcome and loud purr from Mr CC awaits. Enjoy your July,

Stay safe and creative,

Year One Before And After

Good morning and happy Friday. I'm back with my second piece for this month's Do More Of What Makes You Happy challenge. This was made following another on-line class by the lovely Clare Charvill.

 My son and his partner moved into their first home together a year ago, and I've made them a couple of brag books in a box as a sort of 'before and after' of their first year.

There are lots more photo's here on my blog, so please pop across and take a look.

Have a great month, and thanks so much for looking x

July 2020 - Do What Makes You Happy

Welcome to our July Challange, chosen by the Lovely Sue - Do More Of What Makes You Happy - Use your happy colours, favourite stamps etc

Sue

Good morning and welcome to July. We've all had a really tough few months, so for my challenge I'm asking you to do more of what makes you happy. This could be a favourite stamp, or colour, or in my case it's attending a crafty class (in this instance an online tutorial) and learning something new.

This is my Dad's Father's Day card which was inspired by a Graphic 45 tutorial. If you would like to pop over to my blog here there are lots more photos (including a few really bad ones lol) Take care and have a great month x 

Jane

Summer really is in full swing now and one of the things that makes me very happy is sitting in my outside studio creating and being inspired by the hot colours in my garden. I also love working with alcohol inks and this is the technique I have chosen to share today for the challenge together with my favourite stamp brand, Visible Image. I have made a card for my husband as our 39th wedding anniversary on the 25th July.

If you would like to see how I achieved this very organic background for my card, all is revealed over on my blog here.
Have a wonderful summer,

Stay safe and stay creative,

Jane x

Monika
