Welcome to our October guest ...

Please welcome our wonderful guest designer this month,  Jasmine Shea with her so very pretty take on our challenge this month.

When I saw the photo of the girls I knew I had many photos of my children in this position.  I chose a photo I took in Cairns QLD where we the kids were sitting having their lunch overlooking the beach.  It was one of those moments when they were all happily chatting and being great friends.  I chose the floral paper to tie in with the ladies bathers and the two pieces of patterned background paper to reflect the line dividing the sky and sand in the art piece

Hello, I’m Jasmine and I live in Melbourne AustraliaI have an amazing hubby and 4 wonderful children who keep me very busy being teenagers now. I just love this craft and I have been blessed to meet so many fabulous girls in real life and on line and to be a part of some wonderful Design Teams. 

The inspiration from so many talented ladies has helped me grow within my work and I thank everyone who supports me.  This is the most awesome, crafty journey ever....even though I don't have enough time to create these days as I used to...

If you want to see more of my work, please feel free to pop over to my blog

Our October mid month reveal ...

Welcome to our mid month reveal.

This month our inspiration comes to you from Gail McCormac with this delightful painting 3 friends at the beach.

CRITERIA - Celebrate friendship theme

You may now combine your entry with other challenges.

And some lovely inspiration from our second team ...

ANGELIKA
I was inspired by the horizontal design and the beachy feel, as well as the sand and sea colour scheme.

KAT
I was inspired by the three friends and the pastel colours of the painting. I imagine that these three cuties will be great friends as they get older.

TONE
 I was basically inspired by the theme "friends", but also "hats" generally,

KRIPA
I used a picture of my kids to document the day their friendship began. Pastel shades were inspired from the painting.

MARIA
In the photo my friends. We have been friends for many years. We often spend time together. And it's very inspiring! Headline - "Our life"

EVELYN
The photo shows my 18 year old daughter and one of her girlfriends. And what is the most wanted thing to do - making party! I was inspired by the patterned swim suits from the picture.

JANE
I was drawn to the pastel colours of the painting and my desire to celebrate the special sibling friendship between my children which started with his arrival and continues strongly to this day.


Now it is your turn, we'd love to see your own interpretation. You have until 11.55pm on the last day of the month to submit your entry.

A little about Gail McCormac ...

Gail is a self taught artist working from her studio on the beautiful morning peninsula in Victoria along with her husband Tony, who makes furniture and accessories from new and reclaimed timber.  She loves working with a lot of different mediums and experimenting with a variety of textures and painting methods.  Gail has always had a passion for drawing, painting and creating.

This year we are putting the ART back into ARTastic and our main prize each month will reflect that - this month featuring amazing products from Kaisercraft.

Donated by Angelika Ushakova

And now some beautiful inspiration from the first of our team ...

JUDY
I was immediately inspired by the simple theme of the painting - friends looking out to sea and have used a photo of myself and a longtime friend taken several years ago. I have used soft shades and flowers too.

ANNA
I was inspired by the flowery bath suites and summertime feeling. I celebrate the friendship between our youngest kids. Pics from our Swedish Midsummer celebration.

KAREN

Here is a great photo of my son and four mates who now at 19 are all still good friends.

TANYA
Here is my daughter and new friend she made while on a recent Contiki holiday.

TRACEY
I have used the new Cocoa Vanilla Bohemian Dreams papers and accents for this friend inspired layout.

ELAINE
A photo of my friend's son, with my daughter. Their friendship has grown up along with them. It's been so beautiful to see. I used the summer colours from the painting as part of my inspiration.
