Just for Fun - and it Certainly Was this Week.

What a lot of lovely entries we had this past week with our Anything Goes Challenge.  I thought we may be much lower on numbers with the twist of not being able to make a card but no, those crafters can always find something to make.  Thanks for all the super entries which had me hastily playing catch up with my comments.

Have had a busy time this past couple of weeks which all started with my trip to Caernarfon Castle for Liz's Friendly Plastic weekend.  You'll have to scroll down a bit to find that blog entry if you want to see it.  Closely followed by my coming home from Wales, having to do a quick final prep for my workshop (26 people were booked on it) for the Saturday (previous posts - worth looking at) and then working at Leigh for Oyster Stamps on the Sunday doing my usual demonstrating Spellbinders machines and dies.

It was Saturday evening when I got home, tired but happy as the crafters had done such a wonderful job, that I realised I had not done my DT piece for this week over on Just for Fun.  Now we do have to have them in for Zoe to upload by Sunday evening and as she is so busy with her moving house I did not want to let her down with a late picture.  But what could I do?  What was the topic?  A new month - what had Von chosen?  A quick visit and I found it was - oh nightmare of nightmares - "Recycled" and it was "Books or Magazines" this week.  I must add it was only a nightmare because I had not even given this a thought up to now so was entirely clueless.

Then I remembered that Annette had posted a tutorial for me to make a paper doll from a newspaper or magazine.  Newspaper went out the window, the only one we had had gone to Vicky Stampers that day for painting over, besides which you got so dirty from handling them.  Magazine - oh heck, the ones I had were intended for my dil and I dare not upset her.  Then the TV magazine was there, waiting to go in the recycle bag - perfect!

So here it is - thank you so much Annette - you saved my bacon, gave me a lot of pleasure (plus gluey fingers, mat, tray, etc) and enabled me to have an untroubled night of sleep.

Trying to show you the pages better by lying it down

This used up a full TV magazine which has something like 90 pages in it and each page was cut in half.  Memo to self:  Need to buy more magazines - these are fun!
