Treat Yourself

Morning all!

It's Nat here bringing you a brand-new challenge for the week.

But first, we hope you enjoyed playing along with Joanne's challenge last week. I was particularly impressed by the creative and arty use of wax I saw!

The theme for this week's challenge is:

Treat Yourself

Inspired by Donna and Tom on Parks and Recreation, who celebrate the art of  treating yourself in the best way possible, I want you to make a card featuring something that's a treat or using something that you have treated yourself to!

Here are the treats that the design team came up with:

Nat 

The treat is a fancy stitching die that will not get used all that often, but I had to have it!

Kathy 

A slice of cake is always a treat!  

 Miri

I love treating myself to a cappuccino or latte macchiato from time to time. (And I even sit down to enjoy my special drink and have it in a real cup ;-))

Dawn

We don't very often get to go the pub/bar so when we do its a treat.

Waxing lyrical

Hello crafters, thank you for sharing the love with us in last week's challenge!

 
It's Joanne here this week and I'd like you to find a way to incorporate wax into your project — it might be figuratively (an image of candles, perhaps) or literally (e.g. use a wax crayon or candle to create a resist, try out a technique like this or this with wax paper, get out the encaustic wax and iron if you have them). 

 

Here's some inspiration from the team:

Happy Friday, Crafters!

It's Nat here today with our new challenge, and to say a big Thank You to those who joined in with Joanne's Around the House challenge last week - that one really made us think, didn't it?

February 2023 Elemental Inspiration Challenge

 

You need to pick any 3 elements from the photo for your card - remember colours count as one element.  

There are plenty of elements to choose from: hearts, fabric and knit textures, geometric layouts, pastel colours, cups, drinks, socks, landscape scenes, even pink chocolate

 Here's my inspiration photo:
