My DT Tag for the August Mini MTWC - WORLD

Hello All!

 It's time for yet another Mini Challenge here at More Than Words!

http://morethanwordschallenge.blogspot.com/2018/08/august-2018-mini-challenge-old.html

This is my Design Team Tag

The Mini Challenge runs on the last week of each month and is for:

 cards, tags, ATCs and postcards only.  

ATCs, or Artist Trading Cards, are small works of art, about 2.5 by 3.5 inches

 or 64 x 89 mm. Postcards are usually an A6 size, which is a quarter

 of an A4 ie, around 4 x 6 inches or 105mm x 148mm. If your postcard

 is bulky, you could always pop it in an envelope to mail it. 

This challenge requires you to use a specific word on your project. 

We must see the actual word. 

You have only one week - until the last day of the month - to enter, so be quick!

Entry for the Mini Challenge is only 

via our Facebook page under the relevant post.

The winner, as voted by our DT, will receive a $25 USD value prize

from THE DUSTY ATTIC, our fabulous Mini Challenge sponsor!

Why not play along??

Thanks for stopping by.

My More Than Words August Design Team Reveal

Hello Everyone!

More Than Words Challenges

http://morethanwordschallenge.blogspot.com/2018/08/august-2018-main-challenge-yesterday.html

August has arrived with all the happy days that it has to offer, 

including some brand new creative inspiration and challenge

from us to you on the More Than Words blog!

We hope that you will play again this month with this brand new challenge:

Our Main Challenge is based on a word inspiration and a creative challenge.

This is the August challenge

We don't get old. We get vintage!

Here is my Design Team Reveal

{These Hands}

My inspiration for this month's challenge came from this photo of my Mum's hands. I have journaled about what these hands have done on many a YESTERDAY and still do today. She is my inspiration. For the creative challenge I have added a filter to the photo to match it to the VINTAGE brown and beige colour palette and added a clock and a doily to my cluster.

Word Inspiration - YESTERDAY

Creative Challenge - VINTAGE

What does the word YESTERDAY inspire you to create?

You can choose to use the actual word somewhere on your project 

or simply be inspired by it.  Since words are an integral part of our challenges, we want to know how this month's word stimulated your creative process, so please do explain in your blog post how 
it inspired you if it isn't obvious in your work.

We're heading back in time this month with a VINTAGE creative challenge. Think sepia or black and white photos, subdued colours and gorgeous textures. The vintage style evokes a sense of history with images and elements associated with a forgotten (or unforgotten thanks to the wonderful hobby of scrapbooking) past. You might like to use an old photograph, a patterned paper with an antique look or an old-fashioned embellishment on your project. Look back to the past for your inspiration!

I loved this challenge and was really happy with my final creation.

Lots of layers, 2Crafty Chipboard pieces, sewing threads, Kaisercraft  papers, blooms and alphas.

These hands have certainly done hours and hours of work and they still work just as hard today.

 She is my inspiration in so many ways.

Will you now take on this challenge?

Thanks so much for stopping by.
