For the love of zendalas...

I've really been missing Erin's Zendala Dare...
It's a month now since the last one...
So I decided to just go ahead and start at the beginning! That leaves me with lots and lots of zendala templates as I only just got started doing them at #95...

Here's my take on the very first Zendala Dare...


Arukas, knight's bridge, inaura, tipple, fescu, zescen, ovolution


Inside my journal...
These are my journal pages from week 16..


Under the zentangle tiles is notes about a book I read that week, a movie and a new tv-show I started watching...
On this page I wrote a little about what we did this week...
Under the picture of my Sofie's Universe is a picture of a birthday card I made for my nephew and under that I wrote about his birthday party and his present...


My favorite challenge of the very many available has to be this little one!


If you, like me, cannot get enough of the inchies, you should check out the twinchie challenge too!
The Two by Two by Tuesday Challenge...

Down to earth...

&

While drawing this for Tackle it Tuesday, it occurred to me that it would fit pretty neatly for the Diva challenge too...
So I brought out the watercolors to emphasize the earthly theme... 

One new to me tangle: Riverstones
Also Kozy and Betweed


"Find a string in the photo."

Another great challenge from Joey...

Msst, wavy border, sez, roxi, pokeleaf, ripple, fescu, waves, rain dotty
This tile contains only water/beach related tangles.
Once again I added some color to bring forth the earth/beach theme...



Please check out this new challenge!
If you enjoy the Every Inchie Monday, you will love the Tuesday Twinchies too!
The more entries, the more fun for every one!


Two ideas popped in my head with this 4th 2x2 challenge, so I kept with the theme and made two twinchies...
 

Royal is the tangles King's Crown, Queen's Crown and Knights Bridge with royal blue, gold and glitter...

Tangling rain in the sun...

It's summer today... Sunny and warm... Sleeveless blouse...
And a little tangling in the sun...
Tangling rain...
 
 That's New To Me #16: R-Tangles

Riveting, Riverstones, Roxi, Rain, Raindotty
The first two were new to me. I quite like both of them...




I am now up to round 30 on my Sofie's Universe.
This is so much fun and I am learning lots of new techniques and stitches.

An inch or two...


You might not know about this new biweekly challenge...
If you are a fan of Every Inchie Monday, like me, you'll like this one too.

All you need is a 2x2 inch piece of artwork, whatever your heart desires from the given prompt.
The two previous challenges was 'tree' and 'maze' and this one is 'Georgia'...

I don't know anything about Georgia... But I did get "Georgia on my mind"... I love that song...
So that's what I went with...

Georgia on my mind...
Micron and watercolors...
I'm not that familiar with watercolors, but I love using them so I'm sure in time I'll learn!
A touch of sparkly gelly roll too...



Again, micron and watercolors...
I really love the animal prompts...

For the love of robots...

 Today was my nephew's 7 years birthday...
This was the card for the present containing a big box of Lego...



joey's weekly tangle challenge #56:

tangle a flower box or a baskit of bluebonnets...
 

 This is my second attempt. I am really having trouble with baskit...

Loving the spring time...

 I have a feeling this very creative trip that I am on in 2015 will slow down over the summer... At least it seems that this amazing spring weather we have had lately is sneaking in and stealing my creative time...

On the other hand it is breathing pure joy into my soul... There is no thing as good as feeling the sun on your face...
And spending all day (or at least as much as is left of it after work... and before dinner, lunch packs, homeworks etc...) outside makes me, and thankfully my kids too, feel so wonderfully refreshed and relaxed... I'm sleeping like a baby... In fact some nights I'm fast a sleep even before my kids!

Don't you just love the spring time?
I do!
I would hug spring if I could!
I would hold on and never let go if I could!

Actually I wouldn't.... Summer means watermelons and ice cream...
I wanna hold on to summer!

I did manage to get a little creative though...

Tuesday I received an amazingly decorated letter filled with beautiful washi tape from Sarahiousplanz on Etsy...
So I just had to get to my journal and start using some of it...
These are the pages covering last week...

I am so in love with the flowery washi... And the date mark is also a washi tape...
The pages looked a bit empty... (Did I mention the weather?) So I printed some pictues from Sunday where we were playing with my son's building set...
My daughter build a dog, made it a name tag, a bed and a vet-clinic...
My son made a transformer that turned from a man into a machinegun... I made a few guns out of the leftover pieces which my son quickly deemed to also be transformers as they could be planes too...
Good times...

As usual I wrote a little about the past week under the pictures...

Under the picture of a book I read this week I wrote a little tiny review and I tucked some challenge tiles under some other challenge tiles...
I am really loving these little black tags I bought on ebay!

I worked on my Sofie's Universe... Just a few rounds...
When I took this picture I was working on round 26...
 I am running low on the white... So I have finally made a decision on yarn and will hopefully find time to order some this weekend and have it delivered early next week and get started for real!
I can't wait!

Yesterday I trashed a couple of tiles... I just wasn't finding any Zen...
Thankfully today it went a lot better and I managed to make this little quickie for...

New tangle: Dandi
Not so new tangle: Queen's crown

Somehow I just feel this string calls for simplicity...



I hope you're all sharing the sun with me...

An inch of color...



It's spring and I just feel the need to add colors everywhere!

This inchie challenge is one of my favorites.
I am still amazed at how much I can fit into just an inch of paper...
