Birdtober 2024 - Days 1-14
The 21 Day 100Day Project
By popular demand, the facilitator of The100Day Project put out a fall challenge that was only 21 days long which started mid-September. I wanted to keep it simple so I went with the kraft stickers again. This time I added them to a page in a large sketchbook that I have. This took a little time measuring and placing the stickers accurately, but I was glad to be able to fit 3 rows of 7 stickers in each to be able to keep it all together. I used two gel pens and each day added some lines to a sticker. Where the lines of the same color intersected I rounded them with the ink.

Jingle Belles - Pink Christmas (For the Cure!)
Maybe it's the dropping temperatures, or the leaves changing, or, more likely, HWNSNBP's worrisome prodding that I won't have enough Christmas cards made that sent me up to the stamp cave to make sure that I got going on the latest, and one of my favorite Jingle Belles challenges. It's October, or Pinktober to some, and that usually means that the cards are going to be predominantly pink. Lauren and Steph have a tradition of making a $2 (apiece!) per card donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and this year they are continuing that tradition.
I recently got some dies that I thought might work well with the pastel pink colors for Christmas. There is a bit of simplicity to this card, but I thought the bunny was so sweet and I know exactly who is going to get this card. My PT has a pet house bunny so I think she will appreciate this.

Fall Into Fall 2024 - Tangles
A FaceBook group that I follow - Tangle All Around - facilitated an event during the month of September called "Fall Into Fall". They provided a list and a pdf of the daily tangles. This was much like some of the other tangle events that I've participated in and once again I decided to take part in this one. I used another keyring tag booklet for these that was orange and measured about 3" long. On the front of the tag I indicated the name of the tangle and it's creator along with a sample of the completed tangle. On the back I drew six boxes and used two colors to show the step-outs of the tangles. In the past I've just done the tangle on the front of some smaller tags, or in the case of the previous years' Inktober challenges, just the finished tangle which is good, but having the step-outs on the tag itself helps to not have to search out the steps again, and believe me, sometimes you really need the steps. There is an example of the back at the end of this.
