Travel the World

Hello Everyone! Jennie, your host for this month's challenge, back with the 

second of my travel projects. 

Our eldest son left home 19 years ago this month to join the Merchant Navy and so I had him in mind when I created this tag. I hunted out words, stamps and stencils which (I hope) sum up a life at sea as a young Cadet.

Do please join me on my blog if you would like to see more details.

As ever, thank you for joining us here at Country View Challenges today and I do hope you are enjoying this months theme and will find time to join us through the month with your own travel projects.

September Challenge - Travel

Welcome everyone to our new challenge for September with the title

TRAVEL

chosen by the lovely Jennie

Jennie

Whenever we come home from holidays in Europe we always seem to have spare Euros but we can never find them the following year as they are in various handbags, wallets and purses around the house. So for my first project for this challenge I decided to alter a small box with DecoArt crackle and paints to keep the money safe. There are lots more details on my blog so do hop on over if you would like to see more.

Monika

Hello dear crafters, here's my quick card I have made when we just returned from our holiday, in the very last moment before the deadline :-) Travelling has important role in families' life: being together and collecting sweet memories. The family on my card just do the same. On my blog you can find the supply list.

 Ooops! My project just got too big... Never mind I will let you see part 1 today and keep the rest of this Travel book under wrap until my return on the 21st of September. Do come and see on my blog how I made this mini book from a single 12x12" sheet of cardstock!

Corrie

I interpreted the travel theme very loosely here. If you are interested in how I made this postcard there is a tutorial on YouTube included on my blog HERE.

Evelyn

When I was young, I loved to travel by motorbike. When I thought about the challenge theme, I remembered these "wild and free" days. To see some more pictures and read how I made it, feel free to visit my blog!

Sue

This month for our travel theme I'm celebrating the Great British postcard. Fun to receive, but oh the nightmare of knowing what to write! I'm also using a very old stamp sheet, something that I should do more often! More details can be found here on my blog. Have a great week and see you later in the month for my second piece x.

Nikki

This card started life as a journal page that I decided to turn into a card. The background consists of texture paste, PaperArtsy Fresco paints and stamping. More details and pics over at Addicted to Art.

Hazel

Gosh, doesn't time fly....September already and memories of heady summer days. Here is my journal page based around this months' Travel Theme.

You can see more over on my blog.

Jane

Happy September everyone, we're racing through the year now. This month Jennie has given us the theme of travel. I decided to make vintage travel inspired male and female cards.  For my first DT piece today I am sharing the male version. I have used a camera stamp and created a stamped map  .....both essential for any kind of travel! 

If you would like to see how I created the master board map and put this together please pop over to my blog here where a warm welcome awaits you.

Rachel

Hello there! The wonderful theme of travel - so many possibilities and I came up with a simple journal page that you can see on my blog here. I hope you can join us! Hugs rachel x

Gabrielle

I loved the idea of the theme of travel which is really open to interpretation and decided to do something a little different first and think about travel as a personal journey and this page was born! Lots of Tim Holtz stamps came together to make this. The background is Beach Hut PaperArtsy paint and water sprayed on the background.

Brenda

Well it's that time of the year when our thoughts turn to the memories of our summer holidays or where we might like to go for some winter sun or maybe you know someone who is off on a world tour, backpacking or maybe even emigrating. For me I chose to make a card that could be sent to someone who is off on their travels for whatever reason. Tim's globe seemed very fitting and I do like it. If you would like to see the process steps I went through to make it then click my name above and you will be transported over to Bumblebees and Butterflies.

A Day At The Beach

I couldn’t resist using JoFy’s beach huts once again this month. They really evoke the ‘Hot Summer Days’ of my youth! I have layered Infusions, blue and white paint in the background and then a little row of Beach Huts. It was quite a sunny, cheery piece but n ow I look at it again it looks quite ‘after-the-storm’ – much like my memories of holidays as a child! At least the sun is coming out!

Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!

Hazel,

Here is my second piece inspired by Jane's choice, "Hot Summer Days". If you like to find out how I created my sizzling colours then hop over to my blog.

Summertime and the Living Is Easy .....

Hi Everyone Jennie here with you today and oh how I wish it was summertime still here in the north and life was a bit easier! Instead I had a wonderful time creating those feelings in my art journal with this double page spread.

This was a very fluid page (which is arty speak for 'I had no idea where I was going with this'!) so there are no step by steps on my blog, but you might like to visit Live The Dream and see some close up photos of the details.

Thank you for joining me today!

Jennie

Live The Dream

Beachside...

Hello crafters, this is Craftyfield showing you today a second piece of inspiration on the theme Hot summer days, chosen by my teammate Jane for our August Country View challenge.

 

Having chosen the less travelled road for my first post, this time I had to involve the more traditional beach...

Watercolour, pastels, micro beads... a whole host of supplies were dragged in to create, I hope, an evocative beach vibe. Come and see more details on my blog here.

Distress Ink Ombre

There is still time to play along with our Hot Summer Days challenge!

I have used my distress inks to create a summery ombre effect on this card and added the lovely flowers from one of Emma Godfrey's PaperArtsy stamp sets. There are some more details and photos on my blog today.

Evelyn

I enjoy my holidays at home in my little garden and fortunately there are several really hot summer days here. You can find some steps at my blog, how I made this pages.

For me roses belong to summer - what do you associate with hot summer days?

Crazy birds on hot summer days

My birds are spending their holiday by the sea on the dog days and they have just enough from hot and sunburn :-) 

On my blog you can find the details! Happy crafting!

On the beach

Hello everyone Debs here with my second piece for this months challenge Hot Summer Days chosen by our very talented Jane.

 

 

I decided to go vintage with this journal page of the beach. I wanted it to reflect a bygone age when people flocked to the coast to take in the sea air. I hope you have time to pop to over to my blog where you can see how this came together.

Hugs xx
