Todays Inspiration For 'Things with Wings' .....

.... Is brought to you by Zoe, who has been playing with her inks, embossing folders & die cut, to create texture & interest to her wonderful tag.

I love that cute little bird which even has a tiny feather on it's wing.

Thanks for stopping by & remember there are still 2 weeks to enter this months challenge.

Video Tutorial by Stella ...

Stella shows you how to create this lovely card using inking techniques

You will need cardstock, acetate, various rubber stamps & ink for this project

We would love for you to try this technique, it doesn't need to be themed.
If you do please leave us a link to your own take on this & we will visit your blog for a look.
Anyone that takes part will be offered a guest spot on our DT for future challenges.

DT Inspiration Today...

...Is brought to you from Julia aka Ju, she created this fantastic LO using a photo that she took during a walk along the river bank at dusk of a majestic swan. I love how the last of the day's light has touched the swan's neck & added the hint of colour.

Ju, chose to scrapbook in size A4 [8.5x11] for this project & here is how she put it together. She used a light peice of cardstock for the base, then taking a sheet of printable acetate & spraying it with some black Cosmic Shimmer Mist, she chose some random rubber stamps to remove some of the excess ink while at the same time leaving subtle images. When dry, she stuck the acetate to the cardstock  & added the photograph, to which she had added journaling around the edge. Added some black & white glitter strips to break up the background  to complete the finished page.

Please take a minute to visit Julia's blog, where you will find some lovely projects to inspire you

Thank you Ju for another great page!

Changes & New Monthly Events

There are a few changes to be seen starting this month on the TCT challenge blog. 

The 1st of these changes see's the scrapbookers & digi scrappers merge into one group. Because this is a Trilogy we need 3 categories, so we are introducing an Everything Else group. 

 We took this decision because there were some beautiful tags, calendars & other projects being made & entered that, under the original rules we had to delete because they didn't fall into the previous groups. We all felt so bad having to delete them!

Also new for this month, see's the introduction of a mid month tutorial given by one of the DT this months is being delivered by Stella & will go live on the 15th October.

The next change is that we will now be showcasing DT projects throughout the month for added inspiration & interest. So please remember to keep coming back during the month to see what else has been uploaded.

Just to recap, we now accept Cards, Scrapbook Layouts including digi & Everything Else.

So, if its a paper crafted item & it follows the challenge prompt & rules, then we will accept it ...

I hope that this makes the challenges more fun to take part in

Our Guest Designer this month is Sally Hodder
Sally has created this gorgeous LO for us to showcase, she chose to use the line on the grid 
Eyelets, Buttons & Lace
Apparently Sally hates using eyelets, but I think she has put them to great use combining them with the buttons on her page creating a great border.
Thank you Sally for joining us x
