Just a quick update on my September 2010 Calendar 365 Challenge over on Kate's blog...Hope everyone is managing to keep up - I am really enjoying it...only 3 months to go!!! Will definitely be carrying this on to next year...Will you?
I used various gray paints to colour the background and then stamped with Unity Umbrellas and Raindrops (which the eagle eyed among you may notice are falling upside down!!)...The flowers and journal stamp are also from Unity as is the umbrella girl which were borrowed from Sonja... I went through all the raindrops with glossy accents to make them glisten like real rain which I don't think you can see from the photos...but I know it's there!!!
As you can see I didn't have a very exciting September but that's how some months go isn't it???
PS - I was trying to make it like my blog background...cos Ithink it was a particularly rainy September (here anyway!!)..

I'm a big fan of the red polka dot umbrella too. Love these calendar pages!
ReplyDeleteLooking great I have to say and methinks I will have to borrow an umbrella stamp now as they are ace.
ReplyDeleteGreat pages Kirsti. Oooh I bet the rain drops look FAB IRL.. I think your blog is looking delish.. :)

Great page, I'd already twigged on that it matched your background, clever idea. It's nice to see something different, and my month is about as exciting as yours, lol.

ReplyDeleteI think it's fab you've kept it up I wouldn't of. Great work Kirsti.

ReplyDeleteooo I do like your pages. Love the umberella stamps and the muted tones of the grey. Makes the red spotty umberella stand out more. mmm not sure whether I will do it again next year I'll see nearer to January - not long to go now is it?

Well, I was just blog hopping (as you do on a Sunday morning whilst still in your PJs!) and I could have sworn I left a comment on this post! Sometimes I think I forget to do the word verification and my comments disappear .... Ah well, this is fab. I saw it on Flickr. I love the red brolly :-) We are 3/4 of the way through now and WELL DONE for keeping up with the challenge! Question is, will you keep going next year?
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thought you might like to know that the word verification on my last comment was ...

Hmm. Not sure whether to be offended - think blogger is making a rude remark about the size of my rear HAHAHAHAHA!!
Aw thanks for your lovely comment on my little box!
ReplyDeleteI want to come over for ALL the classes that Jacqui has, but the only reason I am getting to this one is the excuse of coming over to visit family for the weekend! My sis lives in Aboyne and OHs sis lives in Tarland!

Loving all your creations, especially these gorgeous pages. Very effective indeed.
