This has to be a quick post as OH and I are off to our Sons for a lovely Sunday dinner. Lots of cuddles with Alexa as it looks like she has tonsilitis poor chick!
It's the 4th challenge week over on the PaperArtsy blog and the principal Guest DT has been the very talented Ellen Vargo. I haven't had time to try something in her style and to be honest it's not really my thing but my #PATwit buddies have done some wonderful work and had a ball into the bargain. If you like abstract, Ellen's blog is the place to go. Anyway, at the week was rounded off by lovely Jo Myhill (didn't have time for her project either which is definitely up my street) and finally Linda Caine whose work I love too. At the last minute I decided to have a go at Linda's smashing cube. To see Linda's gorgeous box, actually called an Artist Trading Block, and how she did it go HERE. I made mine in the same way except I made my box from scratch not having the appropriate Sizzix die. I had thought it would be relatively simple and when my buddy Sam posted her fabulous one also made from scratch that settled it.
Everything I used is available from PaperArtsy wonderful products.
I really wanted to add the finishing touches of feet and some sort of knob on top but just ran out of time. It was fun. to make though.
Have a lovely day everyone although our English weather is doing its level best to make us all miserable .....yes, true to form it's chucking down with rain once again but now with the risk of it turning to snow :-(.
Till next time ............
Hugs

So glad you got it blogged before you go out - it is fantastic! I am sure you will find some feet for it later...
Have a lovely day with the family, and we'll see you later. xx
Fabulous box Lesley, well done for deciding to find the time to give it a go, I agree, it was great fun to make, so much so I'm on my second - lol

Congrats Lesley this box is fab I love the colours you have used. Glad you was able get something made xxx
Lovely cube love the colours, have a lovely lunch Margaret
Just fabulous as usual Lesley. Love your stuff.
Well done, Lesley! This work is fabulous!I love the warmth and depth of colour and those images - well, aren't they fantastic? I loved Linda's too - what an inspirational lady! I think you and I may have similar taste, as, although I think the PATWITS have created some fabulous projects, which I've really admired, and Ellen's inspiration was incredibly clever, fun and vibrant, it's somehow not quite me either. It's great that PA stuff is so adaptable and inspires so much different creativity. Enjoy your day. Hope Alexa gets well quickly. Hugs to her too! Julie Ann xxx

It's lovely to see you having time to play with things - I've never heard of an ATB but I rather like the colour combination you put together here & the way areas of it positively 'glow'. I hope you have a wonderful time with you Son & that Alexa isn't too poorly. Take care with your travelling - not nice weather to be out in at all.

A fabulous block Lesley with gorgeous images and colour xx
