Get Sentimental Pinworthies

Hello!  Nikki here to share our Pinworthy choices with you from our challenge last month where we asked you to 'Get Sentimental'.  Thank you to everyone for the wonderful, diverse creations which made our job of picking just three very difficult.

It was wonderful to see how everyone used their 'sentiments' in such creative ways. The three selected pinworthies really matched their artwork to their words. In no particular order this months pinworthies are:

#11 Preeti 

A stunning journal page full of depth.

#12 Jo

A wonderful celebration of creativity and an event Jo attended.

#22 Amanda

A fabulously textured, layered triptych.

Congratulations to you all, your Pinworthy badges will be on their way to you shortly and your creations will be pinned to our Pinworthies board on Pinterest.

This month's challenge 'How can you resist' started last Friday and we look forward to seeing more creativity.

July Challenge - Get Sentimental

Welcome fellow travellers to our July challenge. Nikki here from Addicted to Art to host this month's challenge with the theme of 'Get Sentimental'. 

Let's see lots of sentiments on your project, whether they be words, poems or quotes. Just remember to create your project in our preferred styles of vintage, shabby, mixed media, art journaling, industrial, timeworn or steampunk.

We have some wonderful inspiration from the design team to get those creatives juices flowing! There are links below to our own blogs where you can find more details on our projects.

Nikki

For this challenge I painted a 10'' x 8'' canvas with Dina Wakley paints and used Tim Holtz Theories stamp set to add lots of words. For more details on how this came together do head over to Addicted to Art.

Julia

For Nikki's Sentimental challenge, I cut up a stamped quote and some Remnant Rubs for the sentiments which I added to my Brusho stenciled panel.  I adhered the panel to a die cut frame so it stands up for display!

To see how I created my Get Sentimental project, please come visit my blog here.

Astrid

I decided to create a journal specially for quotes, sentiments and different techniques for Nikki's wonderful theme. If you want to see more of the cover, a super easy binding technique and some of the pages, come and visit me.

Alison

I've gone back in time to the fresh spring breezes for my pair of panels, using quotes from my own EAB06 Spring Edition stamps by PaperArtsy.  These were inspired by the lovely Raquel, a.k.a. Scrapcosy, as well as using some of her word stencils to add to the sentiment theme.  Do come and visit me at Words and Pictures to find out more.

Brenda

I fancied a change of genre so I've gone to what I call a journalling style for my contribution this week. Using vintage book papers and scraps of inked, stamped and embossed papers and some stamping and stenciling I have created a journal panel or card topper. If you have a moment  you will find more details over at Bumblebees and Butterflies.

Amanda

I have made a piece of art on the round for Nikki's challenge with admittedly only one quote but that one quote is made up of quite a few words that give pause for thought! They are what guided my creativity! You are welcome to stop by my blog for more details 

***********************

Hopefully that has sparked an idea or two. We look forward to seeing how you interpret the theme and see everyone's fabulous creations. Each month we are stunned at the creations we see! We highlight our selected 3 Pinworthies at the end of each challenge which are featured in a post next month, receive a badge of honour and are pinned to our Pinterest boards.

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere summer is upon us when crafting sometimes takes a backseat in favour of holidays and sunshine. Whatever your are up to and wherever you are we wish you a lovely July and hope there is time for some crafting!
