Weekly Diva Challenge #124 - We are Calgary (After the Floods - With Thoughts of Calgary)

This week's challenge is an open challenge - The Diva asks that we keep Calgary in our hearts this week, and any part of the Earth. My prayers and thoughts go out to the people dealing with incredible struggles and tragedy.

Remember, after the rain comes the sunshine and rainbows :)

When I read this week's challenge, my mind went blank. I left it for a while and began tangling, nothing in particular. I figured something will come to me and if it didn't then I wouldn't submit this piece. Well 2 nights later I remembered seeing a post on ribbon letters, (I was half asleep at the time). I finally found the website and then wondered if I could use ribbon letters. I looked at my work and what do I see? I saw the letter 'C' so it was perfect - and here is my finished piece for the Challenge.

Thanks for looking :)

Adventure in Monotgangles #15 Betweed

This week's AIM is Betweed - it's a tangle I'm not usually drawn to, however, I did find it quite relaxing and surprisingly it didn't take long at all - flows quickly.

Happy 80th Birthday Card

Birthday card made for a work colleague's grandfather

The request was he likes fishing and blue so I hope she likes it.  thanks for looking :)

I used cardstock in various colours, stencilled and sponged one of them, tangled the picture with coloured pencils.  added some embellishments.

My latest craze - tangling on wooden coffee/tea stirrers :)

Not sure what I will do with them yet, but until I do I will keep on tangling :)

Weekly Challenge #123: "Guest Post: Is it a Zentangle?"

Weekly Challenge #123: "Guest Post: Is it a Zentangle?", a photo by Poppie_60 on Flickr.

My take on this week's challenge - I used the letters I, M, S, V, H, L, Z, E, G, F, W, O

It was an interesting concept as I did indeed find the process very 'Zen'

Not a Zentangle but a Zendala. I don't normally use pencil, but I did want this to be fairly uniform - I used the letters to spell 'I LOVE U'.

Be Free

Always looking out for new idea to incorporate with my tangles.

Here I drew a flower, some swirls and circles with 'Crystal Effects' then tangled.  Oh I sponged some vanilla cardstock with distressed ink first.

Thanks for looking :)

Diva Weekly Challenge #122 - Grid unlocked using 'Fancy Nancy'
I don't think I've ever tried this tangle - don't know how that happened as it's quite a simple and effective one.
