INCHYBYINCH

SO LONG, FAREWELL, AUF WIEDERSEHEN.....

2010-12-20T01:11:00.001-08:00

ADIEU.

Thank you for playing along with the inchy blog over the last few years. Its been a pleasure doing the blog and I hope you continue with your inchies.

I'm starting a personal challenge blog to myself in the New Year - going from inchies to 12 x 12 - I'm going to get back into my scrapbooking and am working my way through 52 More Scrapbooking Challenges by Elizabeth Kratchner and going to blog my progress. If you're into scrapbooking - pop along and visit from time to time. You'll find the link on my magickdiva blog once I've decided what to call it!

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Peaceful and Creative New Year.

One last thing - the name out of the hat for our little inchy Christmas present was

JOANNA

If you can let me have your address Joanna - I'll pop it in the post - probably after Christmas.

Bye Inchy lovers!!!

FINAL INCHY AND I'VE GOT THE BLUES.....

2010-12-12T09:02:00.002-08:00

I'm putting this up early tonight as my hubby is coming home after two weeks away and I could have other things on my mind tomorrow! lol!

Thanks to Karen (MissyK) for the idea of doing a colour for our last challenge and there could be no other colour to choose than Blue! My lady kind of looks sad in this, don't you think?

As a child growing up my mum always used to play Jim Reeves Christmas Album and a few years ago I bought myself a copy on CD and its always one of my favourites to play at this time of year - moreso as this is my first Christmas without my mum. So as you can see the colour Blue is a good one for me at the moment. I've been trying to download the music on to here but without any success.

Looking forward to seeing all your BLUE inchies for our last week.

CHRISTMAS TAG SWAP

2010-12-09T01:28:00.001-08:00

You should all have received your tags by now - apart from Emma who is in Australia - guess which one was hers! lol! What a beautiful and varied selection they were. Thank you for joining in with our last ever swap.

Keep an eye on this blog for a while though as some of the girls are thinking of continuing an inch blog - if they do I'll put the link up on here so you can carry on playing along.

BRRRR - COLD

2010-12-06T00:39:00.002-08:00

What other word could I have chosen this week - especially here in the UK. Let's see all your cold inchies - only one more week to go for inchy challenge - lets go out with a bang!!!!!

TIS THE SEASON......GIVING

2010-11-29T01:51:00.002-08:00

The Christmas season is fast approaching and my word for this week is GIVING - doesn't have to be Christmassy - you can do anything you like:

GOING FOR A ......SONG

2010-11-21T10:41:00.000-08:00

I had the chance to see the fabulous Beverley Craven in concert on Saturday in Winchester - she is one of my favourite female singer/songwriters and doesn't get enough credit in my opinion. My word for this week - as a tribute to Beverley, is SONG.

Here's mine - the Robin is a favourite bird of mine and his birdsong one of the prettiest tunes - we have a pair in our garden who are always vying for territory but the garden is plenty big enough for both of them - this bird is taken from a Stampin Up stamp and looks very robin like - the sheet music is from an old piece of music of Ave Maria from Verdi's Othello - Desdemona's song which is where the wording 'Song' also came from.

CHRISTMAS TAG SWAP NOW CLOSED

2010-11-21T02:42:00.000-08:00

Something a bit different for our Christmas Swap this year - rather than just swap inchies! A Christmas Tag swap - the only proviso is that somewhere on your tag you must have an Inchy!
We will make as many tags as there are people who sign up - unless we're inundated!

Sign up please by 10 November and Tags to be with me by 1st December - that way we can have lots of lovely tags in time for Christmas.

I've received a question about the size of the tags - 2 1/8" x 4 1/4" sounds a good size - not too small or too large.

JO received
PENNY received
LESLIE
SAM received
SHEILA received
EMMA received
CAROLYN - received
GINA - received

SIGN UP DATE HAS NOW BEEN REACHED - WE ARE 9 IN TOTAL SO PLEASE MAKE 9 TAGS AND SEND THEM TO ME TO BE WITH ME BY 1ST DECEMBER. DON'T FORGET THE SAE IF YOU ARE IN THE UK.

YOU GOT TO HAVE .....FAITH

2010-11-14T02:09:00.001-08:00

In the words of George Michael! lol! Your faith could be a religion or it could be whatever you have faith in, (chocolate for example lol) as its Remembrance Weekend here in the UK I considered this an apt word for this week's challenge:

CHERISH SAMPLER

2010-11-14T02:08:00.000-08:00

This week's spotlight sampler is : SABRINA

CHERISH

2010-11-08T05:20:00.000-08:00

Cherish is our word for this week - looking forward to seeing what you come up with:

SPOTLIGHT SAMPLER

2010-11-08T05:18:00.000-08:00

A spotlight sampler page this week - each week I'll choose one inchy to display - this week its Sandra's inspired crossword inchy

PATIENCE......

2010-11-01T02:41:00.001-07:00

......is a virtue - so they say. I have a friend who is at full term and waiting not so patiently for baby to arrive. I loved this image and and thought it went well with the word. So your word for this week is PATIENCE.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

2010-10-25T07:29:00.000-07:00

Sorry I'm a bit late today - my daughter came home unexpectedly from Uni this weekend - she was in need of some TLC so my word for this week is HOME. Home is where the heart is is my inchy example:

THE FUTURE

2010-10-18T03:32:00.000-07:00

A difficult day today in our household as my husband has just been made redundant from a company he started some years ago - so our future is unsure.

My scanner wouldn't work so had to take a picture of my inchy:

THE PAST

2010-10-11T01:39:00.000-07:00

I find myself harping back to the past at the moment when my children were little - all triggered I think by my daughter going off to Uni - I can't believe its 30 years ago since I was there. So my word for you today is THE PAST.

Here's mine: the image is a stamp from Stampin Up and the words came from a museum ticket! If you look closely you can see my inchy from last week peeping out from behind - it must be stuck on the inside of the scanner! lol!

DEVOTION

2010-10-04T05:28:00.001-07:00

Sorry no sampler this week as I'm feeling poorly with yet another cold!

I did manage to do us a word for this week though and here it is....DEVOTION

Looking forward to seeing all your entries and what you do with it - we had a great assortment last week.

Here's mine to get you going: A little bit of a cheat from me this week as this inchy was in my stash from a swap I did a few years back with no name on it so I can't credit the crafter - I just added the word devotion and some bling.

THIS WEEK'S WORD IS......

2010-09-27T06:11:00.000-07:00

SEPARATION - well it couldn't be anything else with my daughter having gone away to Uni.

Hope you don't find this one too tricky.

Here's mine:

All stamps used are Stampin Up!

SORRY I'M LATE....

2010-09-27T01:38:00.001-07:00

with today's new word as I've been away all weekend taking my daughter to Uni - very emotional - and I have to have a filling today so will try and get it up by this evening......
lets hope its worth waiting for........

GIVE US A ......WAVE

2010-09-20T00:54:00.000-07:00

Our word this week is WAVE - it can be a wave of your hand like my example or a wave from the sea or anything else you can come up with. Have fun!

2010-09-05T04:28:00.000-07:00

Our new challenge for the next few months will be WORDS. Each week I will give you a word and ask you to come up with an inchy to suit. Slightly different to other challenges where they give you a theme.

This week's word is TOUCH - hope it inspires you.

Here's mine - with thanks to Pauline.

ARE YOU ALL READY.......

2010-09-05T04:07:00.000-07:00

FOR THE NEW CHALLENGE TOMORROW????????????????????

SAMPLERS A-Z

2010-08-05T08:21:00.001-07:00

Some of my lovely players have played along with the alphabet challenge from A-Z and we are all wondering what to do with our completed alphabets. Here are some examples of what you creative and talented lot have done. If you have done something with your alphabet inchies be sure to let me know and I'll feature you on here - sadly mine are all just on my desk - perhaps I'll get my thinking head on too!

Daisy's Damsels:

Jan's Gorgeous Box:

Karen has sorted all her inchy sets and is going to frame them.

Let me know what you do with yours

A-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

2010-08-02T03:11:00.000-07:00

Well - here we are at the end of our Alphabet Inchy Challenge and congrats to all of you who stuck with us from A-Z.

My Z is for Zentangle - something I've never done - and probably won't again! lol!

You know the saying "Good Things Come to She Who Waits"? I've decided to have a break over August - its my celebrations for my 25th Wedding Anniversary together with a holiday to Greece and a daughter to get ready for Uni and a son to get ready for College so I'm going to give the blog a bit of a breather

BUT

We'll be back at it again September 6th with our brand new challenge..............................

I'll tell you all about it on 6th September!!!!!!!

Enjoy the rest of the holiday season - hope the sun shines for you

ON THE BEACH SWAP

2010-08-01T10:06:00.001-07:00

Here's a picture of all the lovely On The Beach inchies we received. Thanks to you all for joining in. Sorry the picture doesn't do them justice.

Y IS FOR.........

2010-07-26T01:52:00.001-07:00

So did X stump a lot of you then? There were a few names missing!

We're up to Y - and my Y is for YOUTH.

We're nearly at the end of the alphabet challenge - keep your eyes posted for the new type of challenge we will be doing the week after. I'm wondering whether to have a break over the summer or continue - what do you all think?

X IS FOR ????

2010-07-18T05:25:00.000-07:00

Well we're up to the tricky X - mine is for X-ray - no surprise there then! I used a Stampin Up stamp for the skeleton.

We're up to W

2010-07-12T02:16:00.001-07:00

No sampler today as I've dragged myself out of a sick bed to post our W for this week - I've come down with a rotten chest infection but must soldier on for the blog's sake! LOL!!!

Here's my W - for Water - I'm sure the letter W didn't pose too many problems - which is more than can be said for next week's letter!

V IS FOR........

2010-07-05T01:23:00.000-07:00

My V is for Victoriana. I'm looking forward to seeing what you've all come up with - wow its getting tricky at this end of the alphabet.

So then - as we're nearly at the end - do you want me to continue with the inchy blog - I do have an idea of what we can do next - which will be slightly different to the other inchy challenge blog that Doreen runs and hopefully slightly different to all the other challenges out there - the inspiration for the new challenge came from all your lovely inchies that you've done for this alphabet challenge - a small prize for whoever can guess what we'll be doing next! Get your thinking heads on!

T IS FOR......

2010-06-21T01:31:00.001-07:00

My T this week is for Tower - the Eiffel Tower in fact - its 24 years since I was last in Paris - when hubby took me for a suprise weekend for our 1st Wedding Anniversary - methinks its time we went back! Although we can't go this year Girls as we're off to Greece instead - another favourite place of ours and we haven't been there for such a long time - but can you believe the kids want to come with us! My "kids" are 19 and 16 so not babies -but they want to be part of our Anniversary trip too - so I think a weekend away on our own isn't out of the question......

S IS FOR SAMPLER

R INCHY SAMPLER

2010-06-13T08:38:00.000-07:00

My main computer crashed on me last week and I'm having to use the laptop.

The good thing is its allowed me to do samplers again - which my old computer wouldn't - how strange. I've not liked having a sampler because I must admit I always like to join in with challenges that produce them - just in case i get picked........

2010-06-07T00:44:00.000-07:00

WE'RE ON 'Q'

2010-05-31T12:57:00.000-07:00

Our letter this week is Q - and here's my inchy - Q for Question Mark!

I'M BACK WITH A 'P'

2010-05-24T05:48:00.000-07:00

Thank you for all your comments of support during this difficult time.

Let's get back to inchies and here's my P - not very inspirational I'm afraid - I've chosen a penguin - as the weather has been so hot he's helped cool me down! lol!

SORRY.....

2010-05-10T10:56:00.001-07:00

No new challenge for a while - my darling mum died on Friday 7th May, 2 days after my birthday. I've also just had to have my cat put down - he was 17 and we've just had to buy him in the garden today. Normal inchy business will resume in two weeks.

O!

2010-05-04T01:23:00.000-07:00

We're on O today - sorry I'm a bit late with this - its a bit stressful in our household at the moment with my mum.

It took me ages to think of something for the letter O - I was very nearly going to resort to French and do a oiseau - and then right at the last minute I thought of Opera - duh - and me an opera singer! lol!

So here's my inchy - good luck with your O's!

LETTER 'M'

2010-04-19T01:59:00.000-07:00

My letter M is M for Mother - my mum is still seriously ill in hospital and she was the first thing that came to mind when I thought of M. This is a picture of her when she was about 6 - 80 years ago.

WILL RESUME AFTER EASTER

K IS FOR.......

2010-02-22T03:31:00.001-08:00

I'm still having problems with the samplers - must have something on my comp which won't allow me to take the piccies

We're onto G this week - I found this one quite hard so will be looking forward to seeing what you all come up with.

I did G for Grapes

LETTER 'F'

2010-02-15T06:36:00.002-08:00

So sorry!

WE'RE ON D

2010-02-01T04:56:00.000-08:00

My D this week is Daffodil - its very spring like here in Hampshire this morning - the sun is shining and the daffodils in my garden are up and just ready to sprout some flowers. Make the most of the bright days before the rain comes again.

C SAMPLER

Your challenge this week is YULE - anything you like as long as its YULE related (for those not sure what Yule is - its the original winter festival which was celebrated thousands of years before christianity. It was the celebration of light in the depths of winter so think candles, fairy lights, - it was the celebration of evergreen to show life continued so think fir trees, holly, mistletoe. Hope this helps Melissa! lol!

OUR GUEST DESIGNER THIS WEEK IS JAINE - SHE HAS CHOSEN TEXTURE AS HER CHALLENGE FOR US THIS WEEK. HERE ARE JAINE'S EXAMPLES

HERE'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT JAINE:

I spend most of my time surrounded by bits of paper, ink and glue. Whether its cutting or sticking with children or trying out the latest techniques with friends, I like nothing more than to pass a few hours with stamps and inks. I'm also a bit of a tool junkie. My ideal job would be a tester of all new tools and products that come on the market - I'd work for free!

FIREWORKS

2009-11-02T01:09:00.000-08:00

5th of November in the UK is known as Bonfire Night - where for some reason we still celebrate Guy Fawkes trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. How long we will be able to continue with Bonfire Night in this era of Health and Safety we can only guess.

But for this week only you can let your imagination rip with some fireworks as this is our theme this week. I've done a Catherine Wheel - one of my favourite fireworks and it doesn't frighten the life out of my dog like the rockets do! Apparently though the firework was named after an intrument of torture, the breaking wheel, on which, legend has it, St Catherine was martyred. Hmm, doesn't sound so nice now does it!

Have Fun and have a safe 5th November.

GUEST DESIGNER - ALI - TIME

2009-10-12T00:15:00.000-07:00

A big welcome to our Guest Designer this week - Ali Manning. Her theme this week is Time and here are her inchies:

Here's what Ali says:

I’m a Brit living in the USA with my husband, daughter and a house full of pets. I bought my first copy of Somerset Studio in 2004 and have been hooked on mixed media, stamping and card making ever since. I’m new to inchies but am finding them totally addictive. When I’m not messing around in my studio, I post things on my blogs – Art Ali and New England Stamper. And on Gingersnap Creations, a blog I co-founded with my good friend Sharon early this year.

If you'd like to be a Guest Designer - just drop me an email.

I'M GOING TO BE OUT OF COMMISSION FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS I HAVE TO GO INTO HOSPITAL SO THIS THEME WILL ALSO RUN FOR TWO WEEKS.

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT KAREN:

Hi everyone! My name is Karen aka MissyK! I started out making cards a few years ago, then fell into ATC’s, Inchies and Twinchies. I find it very relaxing to play with my scissors and glue stick and ‘stuff’….. I’ve enjoyed making lots of friends in Blogland and my hobby brings me happiness every day!I am excited to be the Guest Designer this week and I have chosen the theme of TREES. I do hope lots of you join in - I’ve made extra of mine, so if you’d like one I’d be really happy to send you one, wherever you live if you contact me.
