Outside the Box!

      I loved the Diva's challenge this past week of doing something you don't normally do!  If this had been next week, when I am on spring break, and had loads of time, I would have tangled a tile with my wood burner.  I already have that in my plans and have the wood ready and waiting.  But no time this week.  So I grabbed my Sakura souffle markers and tangled on a piece of black cardstock.  I had not used them on black before and oooo, I love the results.  I am going to try this more often.  I love the intensity of the colors.

Dare #49
      All through the week when I have had a spare second, I grabbed the template from the Bright Owl.  I really had fun with this one and love the results.  One little bobble early on almost caused me to trash it, but I decided to stick it out and it really isn't visible.

Twinchie?
     Totally by accident I found another challenge.  This one is only once a month though.  So I really should be able to do this.  And it is only 2 little inches of paper.  Okay, I hope I can do it.  But summer is fast approaching and I should have lots of spare time.  The theme for March's "twinchie" was "flower or flowers".  I used watercolor paper and pencils.  Then I added a gold bee from my pack of beads I won a while back.  Check out Show Us Your Twinchie to see some of the other entries and perhaps get involved yourself.

And the winner is . . .
     Me!!  I entered a giveaway from Michellle Beauchamp.  And I won!!  I love, love , love her art work and could stare at it for hours.  Now I have a wonderful piece all my own.  I was thrilled.  Zip over to the link and see this piece for yourself - totally awesome.   She also put a nice tangled card and a book mark in the package.  Great surprises.
     Guess it is time to wrap this post up.   I now need to go to work on the monotangle challenge.  And since I now am officially on spring break - I have the time to do just that!  Thanks for dropping by and leaving a smile!
