Remember, Remember...

Firstly, thanks so much to everyone who joined in with our blog hop and entered our 3D challenge. The winners will be announcedon Tuesday 10 November, so make sure you check back to see if you've won. 

Before we get in to the details of this month's challenge we also need to let you know that we're having a DT call. So, if you love working in the Mixed Media style and can commit to producing one project per month plus an Inspirational Post and have an active blog, see below for what you need to do:
  • Send a photo of your two favourite Mixed Media pieces to carringtons22@yahoo.co.uk along with the link to your blog. 
  • Include a short paragraph on what inspires you to create Mixed Media art.
  • Closing date for applications is Friday 20 November.
Now that's out of the way, let's get back to the order of the day and move on to hear about the new challenge.

Hi, Ruth here with this months challenge which is 'Remember, Remember'......it may be the 5th of November today (Bonfire Night in the UK) but for this challenge we want to see mixed media projects inspired by 'favourite memories', you can interpret this in any way you like as long as you include some stamping or stencilling in your mixed media piece. What we want to see is how a favourite memory has inspired you, so don't forget to mention this in your post. 

To start the challenge I've created some journal pages inspired by Hydrangeas. 

                        

These flowers always remind me of some very kind neighbours from my childhood...you'll have to pop across to my blog to hear why they do, but just before you do that let's see what eye candy the rest of the talented DT have come up with! 







The memory that always makes me smile, was the day my best friend and I were terrified by a sleepy bumble bee



I've gone way back in time to when I was a little girl and my Dad used to grow Dahlias on the  vegetable plot at our house.
