Tando's colour week

 Hello,

I seem to only blog on a Tando week now a days… lol, and today is no exception… this week is the colour week and so I'm presenting my 12th, and final, file and folders for the 366 challenge project.

The colour palette was:-

and here is my December folder and files

As its nearly Christmas, I decided that this month I would paint each file in one of the colours and keep it quite simple, but, festive.  The back I've left blank, but, painted, and I intend to write that week's happenings on it as a reminder of what 2020 has to offer us as it comes to a close…

My daily journalling doesn't get any better! and I've now finished the first two weeks of September, so a way to go until I've finished. But, I intend to journal daily thro' December and incorporate a daily event - I will let you see them, if anyone still visits here lol, in the new year..

but, for now, here's my September efforts..

What a week!

 Good Afternoon, on this bright and fresh remembrance Sunday.

Its so unseasonal out there, so warm for this time of year, I'm usually wrapped up in jumpers and socks but today I sit here in a t-shirt and my flip-flops!

This week has been one of those weeks! after, what 10 months, of managing to avoid the virus, not knowing anyone who has been infected and being ultra careful about not going out, other than to the shops, and work, I came into contact with someone who had tested positive.  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.

In the meantime, over on the Tando blog, this week was the colour week.  So, folder and file number 11 for the 366 challenge has been completed.

The colours for this week were

and my folders and files are:-

realistically its a bit late in the year to join 2020's 366 challenge, and 2021 would be 365 but if you fancy a challenge you could still join in.

Have a good week peeps, and don't forget - "think hands, think face think space" and stay safe xx

Happy hallowe'en

 Hello, its Hallowe'en today and so that we are all in that spooky, quirky sort of moody the weather is deciding to play its part, pouring down, cold, windy and dark… its nearly two o'clock as I type this but its so dark outside.  I suppose the pending news of the PM giving an address at 4pm is adding to it all…. 

This week Tando had some lovely items on Hochanda… the new product for the show was the matchboxes… they are really lovely and come with some inners for your to decorate.

I took photos on my phone and didn't take any proper ones before I sent them off, but, here is my matchbox and inners

I really enjoyed doing these.  The paint is paper artsy and I've added some extra marks using florescent poscas… my new fav…

Thank you for looking and stay safe everyone xx

Tando colour week

 Hello, oh boy what a week! full on at work, personal issues and the weather - all of a sudden we are thrown into Winter… the fires been on, but, possibly next week the heating is going to have to join it!!

This week over on the Tando blog its been the colour week.  As you know, I've been using the colours to decorate my 366 folders and files, and this month is no exception….

Here is the colour palette for October

and here is my file and folders

so, I've been doing these all year… and I thought it was time to share what goes in them.

Each week has a template and folder strip of paper, each folded section depicts a day of the month, one side is the date and the other the image… here are 1-15th August, both sides.

When the month is finished I adhere them to the folders and stitch into the file… (you will have to excuse the images I can't draw, but, I do try lol)

I will share the entire project at the end of the year.

September colour post

Hello, it would appear that the only time I post it with my monthly colour posts for Tando Creative - I really must do better….

The colours for this month were:-

So, I decided to use the greens to paint leaves onto the folder and files for my 366 challenge… so, here they are:-

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

Colour post - August 2020

Hello,

I should have posted on Thursday, however, my battery in my camera was flat and I couldn't take the photos, so I charged my battery and wrote up the post to add the pictures! However, life got in the way, now coming back to it a couple of days later blogger has updated and remove both posts!! ohhhh still, here we are and trying to work out how to insert things, so hopefully you'll be able to see my colour post on behalf of Tando Creative!

The colour theme this month was:-

..this year I'm using the colour theme to decorate the folders and files for the 366 Challenge - therefore, here are my August files and folder…

thanks for looking xx

 

ATC's

Hi,

Its my turn over on the Tando blog today and this week the theme has been ATC's.

Tando have greyboard ATC's as well as the coins with matching storage (which is currently reduced - check it out here)

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 whimsical houses set 1.

The house was then placed "in my bubble" to show the effects of covid 19.

Pop on over to the blog for other DT ATC's.
