But the challenge blogs don't take the summer off...

I have finally started on my summer vacation, but the challenge blogs certainly don't take the summer off.

The Studio Challenges have a new, fun challenge which is all about going creative with twine: I have a sneak peak for you today, and you will get the entire reveallater this week, or you can pop over to The Studio Challenges blog to see it right now.

CSI is up with another wonderful color combo to play with this week, and some mojo kicking ideas on how to solve this case:

This Case File was Perfect for scrapping about  the national day here in Norway, May 17th, a day we celebrate indeed.

Patterned Papers: MME (navy blue), Studio Calico (green, red), Little yellow Bicycle (light blue). Rubons: October After noon. Alpha: AC. Ribbon, pom pom trim, brads: Unknown

How I solved the case:
-all five colors used.
-Evidence: Pink wheeh, pom pom trim, polka dots, ribbon, rubons
-Testimony: Story: patriotic holiday

Tap Water - Yum! A new The Studio Challenge is up!

Mercedes is my fourth cat, but she is the first one I have had who drinks from the tap.

The second April challenge at The Studio Challenges is get messy by using masks and stencils.
I have given up mist, but stencils and ink work perfect for me, as well as masks and modelling paste.

Petterned paper: Little yellow Bicycle. Ink: Ranger. Masks/stencils: Prima (dotted), ClubScrap (arrows)
Raindrops & washi: Unknown. Modelling paste: Panduro. Pen: Zig

All dots (except the transparent rain drops) are made with the same mask (Prima). I have inked, doodled and used modelling paste to make the patterns and texture. The same techniques are used with two other chevron stencils: I covered parts of them with washi tape to make an arrows pattern.
