Hi everyone...Genny here with my inspiration post. I have to say to find something from SLS that inspires me is very easy. I just love everything. As you get to know me..goodness help you..lol..you will soon come to recognise what I really love. Skulls, Owls, Cats tend to feature alot and I can get very excited about them. So when I saw this great Candy Skull, I just had to do it. I decided to keep to a very small and muted (for me) pallet..so I stuck to shades of orange with green extras. I love to pick say 4 shades of 1 colour and just to see what it turns out like. I coloured the skull with my promarkers, cut it out and mounted it onto some black card. It is now on the wall in my parlour, alongside other skulls from SLS. I have to say it does surprise strangers to my house..but they always come round to loving what I do..I also have a collection of skulls that I have painted myself plus lots of ornaments of Skulls, including one from Transylvania. Why not take a look at all the skulls that are available from SLS.

One of the things that I love, being part of the DT is seeing all the fabulous creations that the others come up with. And of course I love seeing all your creations that you enter into the challenge. A new challenge is due to begin tomorrow..so I hope that you will all come along and join in the fun. So until next time..take care and happy crafting.

Inspiration Post

Hello everyone..Genny here. I'm so excited to have become part of this fantastic team, I don't think that I've stopped smiling yet..lol. This is my first inspiration post..so forgive me if I get it wrong or waffle on too much. I decided to work with wonderful image which is available from the Etsy shop here at SLS Lines. When I begin a project there is always a thought process..and it may begin with the image or sometimes it is with a quote that I have found. On this project it seemed as if both came together. I was looking at this image and thinking just how wistful she looked. There seemed to me that there was a sadness behind her eyes. And then I saw this quote. So it was as if it was meant to be. Another thought that struck me was that normally when I am colouring anything to do with the Day of the Dead I tend to use bright colours but somehow on this image I wanted to use pastel colours. So I did. The frame is from my stash and I covered it with this blue patterned paper, also from my stash. I coloured the lady with my promarkers, cut her out and added it to the frame. I finally added the quote.

I hope that you will enter the current challenge...I think a new one begins tomorrow..so keep your eye on the blog. I have seen some of the fantastic makes by the design team and wow..what a source of inspiration in itself.

Well I'm off for a coffee and a scroll through the etsy store. So until next time..take care and happy crafting.

Challenge #16 Anything Goes plus DT Call!

Happy New Year to all our visitors here on the SLS Lines blog. We hope you have had a well rested, enjoyable time over the holidays and wish you all a very joyful and prosperous 2016!

Today we have a brand new challenge for you, our first of the year. But first, it is with great sadness that we start the year with the loss of a few of our Design Team members.

We say goodbye to Kate Edwards, Lori Thomas and Bettina Leikvoll. We wish these ladies all the very best and would be happy to see them back again in the future. Today is also the last challenge for Vicky Fortier who is also stepping down from the team at the end of January. You will all be missed.

*DT Call is now closed*
Thank you for your interest.

However, as one door closes, another opens. These departures leave us with some spaces to fill on the Design Team.

Please email Maureen (maureenjscott@googlemail.com) or contact her via Facebook (www.facebook.com/maureenjscott) if you would be interested in joining the team. Please tell us a bit about yourself, your crafty history, commitments and interests. No DT experience is necessary, however, if you can commit to creating 3 projects each month and posting your make via your blog, social media and/or other challenges then we would love to hear from you.

And now, for the challenge! This is an easy one - Anything Goes!

Here are some creations from the team to inspire you and we hope you'll join us!
