Injune Challenge reveal...

Unfortunately I was unable to attend this day in Injune as we had to do some much needed cattle work with the small window of dry weather that we had. I am very pleased that this challenge is all revealed now. I am again amazed at the creativity of all participants. Thanks Sue for organising the challenge and letting us all be creative.

This is what my challenge started out as.

I wanted to cover the top with buttons that matched the colours in the yellow material. Alan from Acies suggested that I use a resin. I put this off for a long time as I was not sure how to do this exactly. (The intruction sheet that came with the resin was very long. I not a fan of reading instuctions.)

I made a variety of cards to go in the tin.

In my challenge pack I was given double sided green cardstock and maroon shimmer paper plus the two materials the yellow stripy one which I put around the tin and the blue material which I used on the inside of my tin. ( This was my least favourite item in the Challenge Pack and only used it because I had to.)

Below you can see both the green and the maroon that I had to use.

This Saturday...

....is the Injune Challenge reveal date and Christmas Party. I am looking forward to seeing all the other creations from the challenge packs. I found it very difficult to work with these coulour in the material range as these are not "my" colours. Let me leave it at that for now. But check back in soon to see when all is revealed.
I am off now for a Kids Christmas Card Workshop. They should churn out a few cards between them all. Will post some photos from the workshop today later.

Here they are....

....yes these are the cute little chickens. (Sorry for the wait). This photo was taken when they were very new, now they are so much bigger.

We also have another chook who has had a little chick. So now there are 4. Will keep you updated as there could be more.

Injune paper bag challenge.......FINISHED (Yeah).....Can't give you any sneak peaks as it is a secret..... You will have to wait until the 18th of December and all will be revealed.....I'll give you a little hint....It has ribbon, buttons, paper, material and lots of supertape. Can you guess?

Injune Challenge

I was talking to someone (you know who you are) about this Injune Challenge recently and said that I would add some photos to the blog.
I attended a scrapping day at Injune and took part in the Patchwork Challenge. It came in a brown paper bag (all very mysterious) and had some instructions on the front.
The instructions were along the lines of ....it has to be useful......have a verse or word on it........use most of each item........
The bag contained..........a small square of material with cupcakes and cakes on it............chocolate embroidery thread............and some beads.....
This is what I made...... a recipe box......it is useful, I have laminated my favourite recipes so that they can be wiped clean, it has my favourite verse.......I'd give up chocolate but I am no quitter.....

I have taken another Injune Challenge on. To see this one you will have to wait until December when all can be revealed. I can however show you what this brown paper bag contains and its instructions. Will do this soon.
