I think its all insta nowadays isn't it? perhaps I should update myself….</p><p style="text-align: center;">Anyway, August is now at an end, where did that go? we've had an eventful month - a new great nephew, Theo, was born and he's just adorable. Josh came home from Japan and is now settled in Ipswich. And I became another year older lol</p><p style="text-align: center;">Anyway, due to lots of things I missed my August tag, which was a shame as it featured the stamps and stencils from my very talented Tando Teamie, Fiona… so, here it is…</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-94eplkqq3cY/YSuCp7hxCJI/AAAAAAAAHcU/hv8kAwCZY3EUslkxrC3DRjbuinId4LNhgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1759/DSC_6441.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1759" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-94eplkqq3cY/YSuCp7hxCJI/AAAAAAAAHcU/hv8kAwCZY3EUslkxrC3DRjbuinId4LNhgCLcBGAsYHQ/w205-h400/DSC_6441.jpg" width="205" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the stencil is by Tando and is the moon ray, with some circles from the moon phase stencil.

I've used one of the new dragonflies which are gorgeous - I've added a layer of stickles on his wings as all dragonflies glitter and shimmer in the sun, although, it seems ages since I've seen any. we are lucky that we get a good variety of dragonflies in the garden, beautiful blue ones (whose name I've forgotten…. hawker lol) that flitter and float…. umm soon be summer.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Anyway, here it is…</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oW_cSR9ahBM/YACYD3tf9-I/AAAAAAAAHTY/qONFXu0xdG0oy9Auyc5kUZ8SPcl-98aoACLcBGAsYHQ/s1816/DSC_6363.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1816" data-original-width="1791" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oW_cSR9ahBM/YACYD3tf9-I/AAAAAAAAHTY/qONFXu0xdG0oy9Auyc5kUZ8SPcl-98aoACLcBGAsYHQ/w395-h400/DSC_6363.jpg" width="395" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">the background was paper artsy paints, with stamping and doodling with stablios and posca pens… some washi tape from Elizabeth crafts, and a saying from Tim Holtz's tiny text stamp set finishes it off..</p><p style="text-align: center;">Do pop on over to the Tando blog to see some other winged projects….</p><p style="text-align: center;">TFL xx</p>Carol Plumehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04442621898135640280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8462917191342526121.post-46585089178381108772021-01-06T19:23:00.003+00:002021-01-06T19:23:45.478+00:00Happy New Year<p style="text-align: center;">Hello and Happy New Year….</p><p style="text-align: center;">Hope that everyone is staying safe and well. It was a strange Christmas wasn't it? and now lockdown 3, with the figures raising daily its nice to be able to escape into my craft room and lose myself with my craft supplies…. although, if I'm not careful I'm going to get lost in there soon it definitely needs a good clear up!</p><p style="text-align: center;">This week over on the Tando Blog its the first colour week of 2021 and I'm up today. Each year I choose a different element to do my colour challenges and this year I've decided to use the long tags - these are such a lovely shape so I'm looking forward to creating the next 11 tags. I've also decided to paint the back of the tags and journal the months events… will be good to read back this time next year!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">So, the colour theme for January 2021 is:-</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2DiNRiWrguE/X_YMdch1hMI/AAAAAAAAHSk/BtvDzJVRE-0qTga1ldBjJAQsyRg9scP8QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/5709d27ce41bea604fbb81180afc0fd9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="153" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2DiNRiWrguE/X_YMdch1hMI/AAAAAAAAHSk/BtvDzJVRE-0qTga1ldBjJAQsyRg9scP8QCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/5709d27ce41bea604fbb81180afc0fd9.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">and here is tag 1:-</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jmqyRoj_m2g/X_YMzwehkMI/AAAAAAAAHSw/0pfVsvpXA0QnQrSQuJhCBzg0pYVGqctfQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1771/JANUARY-TAG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1771" data-original-width="794" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jmqyRoj_m2g/X_YMzwehkMI/AAAAAAAAHSw/0pfVsvpXA0QnQrSQuJhCBzg0pYVGqctfQCLcBGAsYHQ/w179-h400/JANUARY-TAG.jpg" width="179" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've used paper artsy paints, sequin waste stencil and a piece of paper I had cut a circle in.

The young girl in our office came back positive on Tuesday! to be honest it was a shock to the system. You can get so that you're aware, but, as it doesn't affect you directly its almost like its not there, iykwim? Don't get me wrong, my hands are dry and cracked from continual washing and hand sanitising, trolleys are always wiped down, my desk and everything on it is wiped down every morning, but the stark reality of having it in your life was somewhat of a shock. Anyway, two tests later I tested negative, but, the tests are unpleasant at best, and its something I don't want to do again in a hurry. Anyway, that was Tuesday to Thursday, then Friday back in the office, but, Monday onwards working from home again.</p><p>In the meantime, over on the Tando blog, this week was the colour week.

Hello, it would appear that the only time I post it with my monthly colour posts for Tando Creative - I really must do better….</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The colours for this month were:-</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I decided to use the greens to paint leaves onto the folder and files for my 366 challenge… so, here they are:-</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will let you into a secret - this year is going so fast, even if it is virus prone, when writing the month on my leaf I wrote August - so, had to do it all again lol…. I was very conscious when I wrote September I half expected to write it wrong… lol</div>

My ATC had paint added direct to the greyboard using acrylic paint, I used the same colour scheme to paint one of the houses from the <a href="https://www.tando-creative.co.uk/TMWHMHSES1.html">whimsical houses set 1.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The house was then placed "in my bubble" to show the effects of covid 19.</div>

<br />
It doesn't seem possible that another month has gone since I last posted. So much has happened in the Plume household.<br />
<br />
This week over on the Tando Creative blog has been the colour week… and this has been the palette for July:-<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-piM1_oZrKHU/XwCjP9qROpI/AAAAAAAAHGY/Jgc630L6Cj0jg__5_uuzXteumN476S9vwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/474f006dd9d368ef0812341fba7a5276-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-piM1_oZrKHU/XwCjP9qROpI/AAAAAAAAHGY/Jgc630L6Cj0jg__5_uuzXteumN476S9vwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/474f006dd9d368ef0812341fba7a5276-2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Lovely strong, bright and pastel (a contradiction but you know what I mean) colours just right for summer (which, at the moment seems to have left us!)<br />
<br />
so, for 2020 I've been using the colour palette to decorate my 366 folders and files, so here are July's offerings:-<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure who still visits my blog - blogs seem to have been of the age and gone it would seem.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life is hard for everyone at the moment with lockdown and the virus still taking lives daily. Gt Britain is now the second highest country for deaths behind the US - even Italy, where everyone thought the virus to be out of control had a total death rate, first spike, of 38k - we are now 40k plus and rising daily - too early to get children back to school and opening up shops? When the beaches were open people were laying there like sardines do you really think people will take notice of social distancing when in a shop? I'm going to carry on shopping on line I think, but, saying that, my shopping habits have changed and I'm not getting as much as I did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, with all these worries and woes its lovely to disappear into the craft room and create. Throw some colours around, create junk journals and also follow the 366 quotes for Tando Creative.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week over on the Tando Creative blog is the colour week, here is the colour palette, my fav colours at the moment:-</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
tbh they didn't turn out as pictured in my head…did think the circles would be a bit more mixed… it just didn't work, but, until you try you don't know do you - then I had the folder and one of the files upside down too - the lighter colour should be on the bottom!! think the sun yesterday went to my head lolxx</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope that you're all keeping well and safe during this time.</div>

Hello,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're all keeping well and safe - the weather has really been miserable the last couple of days hasn't it - really hitting home just how dire the world is at the moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To cheer myself up I've been in my craft room - lots of projects I can't share, but, this one for Bubbly Funk I can…</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello, how are you all? hope you're all keeping well during our lockdown. I must admit I'm getting used to working from home and being in lockdown, and working paperless - when I get back to the office my desk is going to be so much clearer lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today its my turn over on the bubbly funk blog and I've created another journal page. I'm finding it really therapeutic to do these journal pages each week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here is the first rainbow</div>
<br />

Good Morning on this Wednesday the start of our third week of lockdown.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How sad is our world with thousands of deaths across the globe every day, with people, mainly teenagers, not taking heed of the lockdown, which will delay us getting back to normal. So many of us working from home, families not being able to see each other - thank goodness for technology - FaceTime and messaging…. We've been FaceTiming our son, Josh, who lives in Japan, for the last 3 years, although I must say at the moment it is a worry with him being over there on his own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, today, its my turn over on the Bubbly Funk Blog and my theme this week is:—</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wednesday again, the weeks seem to be flying, even tho' we are all in lockdown.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How are you all managing? I must admit we didn't stockpile and had to pop out to get supplies - will, I don't thing any of us will take anything for granted again will we?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know when you sit at your craft desk and your mind wanders, thats what happened here…I did take this photograph… </div>

Hello,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this horrid time that we're living in at the moment, its nice to escape to my craft room. To have my lovely paints, stencils, stamps, inks around me and to play. For once, to be happy with what I've got and to create using what's to hand… Ok, I still look, but, at the moment its look only lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today its my turn over on the tando blog, and as usual, the first week of the month is our colour week;Aprils colours are:-</div>

Hello to all my visitors on this rather strange Wednesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whats happening world wide is scary isn't it, and just a little surreal. I have never experienced empty shelves in the supermarket and to see the elderly looking so dejected, after a harrowing trip to get there too I suspect, is just heart breaking. I for one haven't stockpiled! if we are on lock down for any period of time we will have to eek out what we have and manage on what we can get. I can't believe the greed of some!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, a way to lighten our souls is to sit in our craft room/area and create art…</div>
