Remembrance at One Stitch At a Time

By -
I am a huge supporter of Remembrance.  Regardless of our thoughts on War, the fact remains generations have and continue to give their lives for us.  So we can remain safe, so we can have the freedom we have today, so we can express ourselves every single day.  Most all though for me the Poppy is a symbol of hope, that for their today we get a better tomorrow.  I also hope that it goes some way to say I can never understand what you who fight go through nor what you families deal with every single day but I am grateful, very very grateful to you all.

If you would like to join us with this Remembrance theme craft challenge please pop over to http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.co.uk/

Here is my card, I couldn't bring myself to jazz it up or do anything besides mount this beautiful image on a poem. I also put another Remembrance poem as an insert.

Autumn and Spooky Halloween

By -

 WOW I absolutely love this challenge at  Ikes World Challenges  the colours really lend themselves to both Autumn and Halloween.  So I've combined them both with some spooktacular images that can be found at  Ikes Art Store I've used the cuckoo style clock along with skelly friends skulls, a ghost, Howleen, and a spider woman along with the witch and skull caudlron to create this page.  Oh and my back paper is a skull cup backing paper from Ike too. The quote is my own and reads: "As autumn takes hold with it's glorious spectrum of colours so thoughts turn to Wiccans and the incarntations that command evil and ghosts roaming free to destroy crops".  ⒸSall Baker 2022

No Pattern Papers or Mythology

 WOW what freedom this presented me with!  Mythology was a theme I couldn't not use and I hope you'll find something to fit it too and come join us at  Ikes World challenges I couldn't resist letting my imagination go with this one, I knew from the start I wanted to incoperate the traditional concept of mythology by using the incredible Greek Gods images but I also wanted to incoperate some of the modern ideas of mythology, including creatures from folklore and superheros.   The only way I could do this and push the boundaries of my imagination was to find a way to put them on a card rather than an art journal page.  So I made a pop up box card and used: Artemiss, Athena, Troll, Gnome, Mermaid, Fairy, Superhero lovers, Zeus, Cupid and an Angel.  All images are from Ikes Art and can be found in  Ikes Store  and some maybe in  Ikes Art Darker Images Store .   I've written my own quote, it's copyright to me ⒸSallie Baker 2022

Monochrome

 Hi, wow we've got so far as October already. The year just flies past especially when I am crafting.  The theme this month over at  Ikes World Challenges  is Monochrome and I instantly knew what I was going to do.  I had already decided I wanted to use more of the images I don't use as much as others in order to push myself creatively.  Thus I went with the Suffragete image.  The suffragettes wore Purple so I've chosen that as the only colour I would use. I have also coloured the hair, I couldn't bring myself to give her purple hair.  I made the purple marble paper myself, Spectrum Art have some amazing colours for you to check out if you want to make your own papers.  I've used Derwent Art Procolour pencils to colour the image and added a little purple glitter to make the image stand out.   I've also written my own quote:  "It takes someone of strength, courage, determination and most of all a passion to help others, to ensure their future is a positive o
