Every Inchie Monday Challenge

My little rain cloud is actually raised and in the photo it's giving off it's own shadow!I was actually pretty happy with that added little dimension! Cloud punch tool, White sakura pen, and a quilled lightning bolt!

The storm is getting further away!
Counting after the lightning,

I AM THE DIVA CZT

Weekly Challenge #142

'COMFORT/DANGER ZONE'

So, obviously free form, organic, flowing, forgiving lines and circles are

my comfort zone!!! LOVE THEM, LOVE THEM!!

Detail and outlining are even more comfy, cozy to me!!

So with that said,

'BEWARE', NOW ENTERING THE DANGER ZONE'!!!

"Sorry 'CHARLIE' I really didn't do it justice!  Can you tell it wasn't my favorite? Now, I did find a little love for Canard, when all was said and done." I'm definitely, not a square person. (Although some people might beg to differ with that) hee hee  What's crazy though, I love squares when it comes to decorating in my home, but drawing and zentangling,.............Yeeeeeeks!!!"

"SCARY!!!" 

This was one of the most difficult challenges, and not very pleasing to the eye!!!

But as always, Thank You Laura, for helping us cross that line!!

It was fun, but I found myself holding my breath many a times!!!

GASP!

Although this was difficult, it really was the FUNNIEST  challenge!

Reading everybody's posts and looking at their tangles, had me in stitches!!
(It was as if I heard everyone cringe and screech as they did their tangles) 

Don't get me wrong, a lot of them were awesome!

It was just funny to hear what people like and don't like!!

I was able to relate with some, and others, I was the total opposite!

"THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS, EVERYBODY 

Anyway, that's what makes the world go round!!

STORM

'STORM' on outa here!!!!!

Click on image to enlarge,

The word for the 

Every Inchie Monday

challenge this week, is 'STORM'.

Well, instead of using it as a noun, I was thinking more

of an action word. A verb!

(don't ask me why I need to make things difficult for myself, it drives me crazy!!!)

:0)

Peace be Yours

Please check out the Inchie Monday Challenges and give it a try! It really is a challenge!!

TWINCHIE CHALLENGE #6 "THINK PINK"

THINK PINK

I am having sooooo much fun in joining all of these wonderful challenges!!!

(and to think, I've been missing out on all of this creativeness)

Anyway, thanks to my new found friend,

Zoe, at My Specialist, blog.

I have found the 

Every Inchie Monday, and the Twinchie Challenges!

Here is my entry for the Twinchie Challenge

Think Pink

Thank you Zoe, for the inspiration to do these challenges, and for the idea to use an easel to display them! 

As soon as I heard the word pink, I knew it had to be about 'a girl'.

With having two boys first, when I was pregnant my third time, I just wanted

to have a girl, so bad!!!! I just wanted to see 'Pink' in my laundry basket, instead of just 

blue and green!!! (I got my pink! Thank you God!)  :0)

Anyway, here it is!!!

I have this problem, as I'm sure most of you do, I can't throw away any tid bits

of papers or quills that I've started. Because I might just be able to use them for something.

Right? Anyway all of the little flowers you see on here were from punch tools that I had

saved and from quilled projects that I had done.

So I didn't have to work hard on this!

I just had to draw and assemble!

So don't throw out all of those lil' tid bits and do dads,

you might just be able to use them for another project!!!

Peace be Yours

*Please come and join the fun 

and challenge yourself with an

Inchie or Twinchie!!!

"It is sooo much fun!!"

  

INCHIE DISPUTE and DIVA CHALLENGE #140

LET'S CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF

Here's my first try at 

Every Inchie Monday.

The word for this week is 'dispute'.

Inspired by the song, "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off".

Check it out on YouTube. Rosemary Clooney/Gene Puerling

were just two people that sang this popular song.

A special thanks to Zoe Brener at My Specialist,

for referring me over to Every Inchie Monday!!

I think I could have a lot of fun with this new kind of challenge!!!

(Ps. I am still having troubles getting the Every Inchie Monday image link 

onto my blog. Any helpfuls on that??)

"MONOTANGLE, POINTILLISM STYLE"


I am the Diva- CZT, Weekly Challenge #140,
has given us a challenge using tiny dots. It's not really a Zentangle pattern, but Laura
says it is a good design to add to any pattern. I can see how it could add to any design.
It's like a method of shading!

Here is my version, of this design!
For some reason, as soon as Laura talked about using tiny dots, tiny particles,
entered my mind. And what better way to show tiny particles,
is with Mr. Wind, blowing them around.
Whhhhhhooooooooohh!!!!!

FAST, EASY, AND DELICIOUS , DORITOS TACO SALAD

DORITOS TACO SALAD

Ingredients:

1 lb. of ground beaf

1 can of kidney beans (drained)

1 onion

4 tomatoes

8 oz Catalina (Kraft) Dressing

4 oz. grated cheddar cheese

Doritos Nacho Cheese chips

Romaine Lettuce

Avocado (optional)

   In a skillet, brown your ground beef, drain excess grease. Put back on stove and add can of drained kidney beans. Cook for another 5 minutes on medium heat. Set aside.

   Dice onion (I usually use a brown onion) and tomatoes. Put in large salad bowl. 

   Now add your ground beef mix to your onions and tomatoes. Then add grated cheese and Catalina dressing, and mix. In your hand crunch up a 1/2 bag of your regular size Doritos Nacho Cheese chips. (not family size bag)

And mix it all together until you see that everything is coated with dressing.

   Have your lettuce chopped up in sizable pieces. And add taco mixture over the top of your lettuce. Garnish with slices of avocado and a few more Nacho Cheese chips, and Wahla!!! Enjoy!!!

   *for other variations you can add Hot sauce, Taco sauce and/or even nacho cheese. It's up to you!

Feeds 8

This recipe is one of my go to's when I don't have a lot of time!
Kids love it!!

 I add hot sauce to individual bowls, not everybody's palettes

are used to spicy, yet. 

One of the best things, you won't feel miserably full after your delicious meal!

Mangia Mangia!!

"8's PARTE DOS"

A RIBBON OF HOPE

I am the Diva, Weekly Challenge #139

UMT vXXI

"8s Parte Dos"

"8s Parte Dos" was created by Jane Eileen. Check out her blog
See Jane Run, and see 2 more variations of her
8s Zentangle!
Thank you Jane for sharing your awesome Zentangle with us!
And thank you Laura for choosing this for your UMT vXXI!
I will tell you, it was quite a doozy!!
(I personally feel like I need to work on this one much more, and I look forward to mastering it!!)
I was sooooo impressed with EVERYBODY'S tiles and their variations!!
AMAZING!



This month of October, is Cancer Awareness month with pink ribbons.
Please take a peak at One White Whiska. Kelly Hull also Zentangled with a pink ribbon! :0)
 The pink ribbon hit home for me this week because
 a really good friend of mine just told me that her cancer came back.
She is an 'Awesome woman', I just love her!!!
So I want to dedicate this Zentangle to her!!
The 'Love You' is to hopefully remind her and anyone else suffering from
cancer to not forget to love themselves!!!
My friend is such a beautiful person, inside and out and is loved by so many
people that I hope that she can still see what we see and
love herself!!
"Judy, this ones for You!"
'LOVE,...YOU!'
Because , I DO!

Peace be yours

(*I just ask if you could please send your prayers of healing
for my friend Judy!)

PS Thank you, to everyone that takes their time to leave messages! I do appreciate you! XO

Fun With Borders

FUN WITH BORDERS

#138

 Here is my version of

I am the Diva- CZT

Weekly Challenge #138 Fun With Borders!

My inspiration for the border was brought on by the long shag area rug

in my family room. A wall unit for holding wine bottles, a large basket, and a plant that

hangs down from the shelves.

Thank you Laura, for the inspiration, to look at everything,.....

with a Zentangled eye!!!

No matter where you look, there is a 

pattern of Zen that could be bordered with

even more Zen!!!

"Go get tangled 

in your surroundings!!!

Come on, 

I dare you!!"

Peace be yours

PS As always your input is welcome! Annette
