August's inspiration will come from the painting ' 'The Playing Claude Renoir' by Auguste Renoir


  'The Playing Claude Renoir' by Auguste Renoir

(As suggested by Peggy Schenkels)

Diva Demand for an extra 6 bonus points try and
work the following into your layout.

1. Ribbon =  1pt
2. A photo of a child or child playing = 2pts
3. Paint or create your own background = 3pts

NOTE - From June we are now looking for individual entries for ARTastic, you may combine your entry with a sketch but we no longer want entries that combine other challenges as we feel the ladies that do the right thing and take the time to enter independent entries are disadvantaged when it comes to winning prizes. If it means we lose a few entries, so be it!

 The inlinkz post will go up shortly!

The Design Team have put together some great submissions,
so lots of inspiration to share with you all  :)

  'The Playing Claude Renoir' by Auguste Renoir
will close
Sunday 28th August at midnight.


Looking forward to seeing some great entries this month :)

Cheers
Shazza

Another great submission from.......

Cecelia Blanco - Goin for a Ride

Hello there;0)  Here is my submission for the August inspiration.  I had so much fun with this one!  I stamped the "city" image and colored with my copic markers and then painted the green border.  This is my youngest son, Anthony, on his 4th birthday. He will be six this year. He got his first scooter and helmet and was so excited to go outside and ride it.  Thank you for a great challenge and Thank you to Lime Tree Creations for the lovely flowers and doilies to play with.

Memories

Hi Shazza, here is my LO for the August challenge.

Another lovely challenge to play along with – love using pictures of children to create a memorable LO, especially little moments of playing, often moments we take for granted.  Have used some ribbon on the banner and tag. I’ve used glimmer-mist with a mask, along with stamps and rub-ons to create the background effect. 

Regards
Chantelle

A great submission this month from.....

Debi Clark - Little Harry


Hi to you Shazza,
 
Please find my LO for Auguat using that interesting
Renoir as inspiration.
I must admit I really liked the warm colours,
& then chose this photo of my grandson 
Harry opening a present, that had a tinge of orange
in it & thought...that's the one for this!
 
I sprayed my white CS with 2 colours of Glimmerist,
& then a shimmer as well & let it run down 
the page into my garden.  I added ribbon as a frame 
plus more ribbon in little clusters with other 
embellies.
 
I really loved scrapping this lovely Harry photo,
& hope we have lots of gals also join in with
us this month too.
 
Thanks once again,
 
Cheers, Debi Clark

Hi Shazza, please find my DT submission for August, I loved the bright colours in this paper and it went well with Nate's Spiderman face.....great criteria.

Here is Michelle's submission for August.......

Dance Fun

Hi Shazza,

Here is my next DT layout for the Renoir painting. I had fun creating the painted background with three different shades. Normally I don't like putting paint anywhere near a LO but I'm happy with how this turned out. I also incorporated the Lime Tree Creations flowers and trim that our generous sponsor supplied us with. SO beautiful!

Have a great day!
Cheers!
Michelle  :)xx
 
 

Here is Sarahs submission for the month....

Mayfield


Hi Shazza,
Here is my August Challenge, I really liked the diva demands on this.
The photo  is of my mum when she was little playing with her pram and doll. For the background I used canvas printing paper and scanned a photo of the house that she lived in at the time, which was called Mayfield. I used paint, and various patterned paper to create the landscape of the property. The ribbon is acting like grass below the flowers. I was also able to add a Lime Tree Creations  white crochet flower for the finishing touch on the page.
Thanks for the challenge Shazza.
