Hi everyone.
Today I have some exciting news to share with you. A couple of weeks ago I received an unexpected email asking if I would like to join the design team over at Try It On Tuesday My answer was "Of course I would love to be a part of the team. It sounds like so much fun."
I want to send a HUGE thank you to the ladies who are members of the Try It On Tuesday design team for asking me. I feel quite honored to be a part of such a talented group!
Our new challenge starts today. For the next two weeks we'd love you to join us for our newest challenge:
Time Flies

My page today is all about my wish for spring to arrive. Lately I have been watching a lot of garden shows on Netflix, and they have gotten me thinking about what new things I want to do in my gardens this spring. The first flowers to bloom in my gardens are crocuses, so I chose that to be the flower on my page.
The background is made of lots of sheets of printed paper (which you can just barely see in the bottom left). It was sprayed with blue and gold liquid ink. The clock and the wings were die cut. The patience word is made from stickers and the time is flying is a stamped image. I drew, painted and fussy cut the flowers, except for the sparkly purple flower which didn't need to be painted. And finally I added some paint at the bottom of the page.
I hope you join us in the next 2 weeks before time flies and this challenge over.
And once again, thank you TIOT ladies for inviting me to join.
We are thrilled that you joined our TioT's gang Erika, it is lovely to have you with us there.
ReplyDeleteI love your page, wonderful layers and colours . The fussy cut flowers look beautiful especially the sparkling purple one. Its snowdrops that first show up in my garden.
Have a good Tuesday.

Congratulations on being part of the design team for TIOT. Very exciting. Wonderful colors on your page. Love that clock. I've had enough of the snow and cold and wish time would fly so Spring would arrive. Stay warm today

ReplyDeleteA wonderful first DT piece of you! I love the pink - it makes this page so happy - and this page will lure out spring to come soon!

Congratulations on becoming part of the team. I like to look at the challenges but don't enter many. I'm usually in the middle of something that doesn't fit the theme and by the time I get myself together the challenge is over. I really like the colorful piece you created.

Love it, Erika. And hope you are having a good day without the kids. Nice to have the art time too. I've been sticking pretty close to home myself!

Well done on being asked to join the Design Team - so well deserved!
ReplyDeleteLove your "Time" piece - I am a bit of a fan of that theme and so it really appealed to me but I was particularly interested to read of your ideas behind your page. Pure brilliance! So well thought out.
