Alpha/Dictionary Challenge 2016




Helloooo,

How are we all??

I've just had another look at how the
B Challenge is coming along and oh my
goodness we have 33 entries so far and
 the link isn't closed yet!!
Wow, thank you to everyone who is entering!

So, today I am here to announce our 
next letter.  Sometimes when I do this
it will not just be a letter but perhaps
something that has to be added in with the 
letter......just to keep you on your 
toes!!

I decided to give the DT the chance to
pick the letters for the next few 
weeks.  First up is Neil and he picked ......

Q

This time there will be no extra bits added
but I have to warn you, next time Dawn has 
picked the letter and added something to 
be used with it!

So, your mission, should you wish to accept
it, is to pick a word beginning with Q and
use that for your project, not forgetting to add
the definition in your work.  We must be able to
see that definition in your creation!

What have the DT been up to then.....

 Karen has chosen to use a printers
tray, using a different square for each
letter.   

Karen's Q for queen using an old postage stamp.


Dawn has decorated journal pages
with Q for quartet


and Q for Quintet



Oh my goodness, huge apologies to
Neil as I managed to miss adding this....

Q is for Quirk...





I'm so looking forward to seeing what your
 Q will be!

Well I'm sure you know the rules by now,
you have two weeks and the link will close
at midnight on the 7th February.
If you cannot use the link then send your pic 
to me at janecraftbarn@gmail.com
I will then add your pic for you.
The winner will be picked by Mr Random
Generator and announced on 
Tuesday the 9th.  A £10 voucher will
be up for grabs!

Have fun, enjoy the rest
of the weekend.

I'll be back on Tuesday with two
Challenge Winners!!

Blue - Neil Walker




Hello again,

Welcome to the weekend!

Goodness, these weeks are flying past,
is it me or do you think that too?

So, today Neil is here to show us
what he has been making for you!

Neil has been under the sea.....
sounds like a Disney theme 
and made a beautiful bookmark 


For my project today I chose to make a simple
 bookmark. I began by inking the book mark
 with Distress Ink in Blueprint Sketch and Mermaid Lagoon.


Laying my Ocean Jellyfish mask onto the bottom
 and taking a moist wipe I removes some colour.


Then using my Shoal Positive mask along the top
 I did the same to add some depth and interest.


The next step was to add some bubbles using
 Liquid Glass.


Some detail was added with Liquid
 Pearls along the base.


Finally, to finish I grabbed a tassel from my stash



How amazing but simple is that? 
What a lovely present that would make?
Thank you Neil.

So, if you want to have a go, this is what 
Neil used -


Well that's all for today, I'll be 
back with the Challenge tomorrow.
There will be a new letter for you!
