Zendala Dare #20

I loved this week's zendala dare!  The template was layered, so I tried to give a layered look to my final product - I think it worked out alright :)  Thanks to Erin for all of her efforts in providing us with awesome templates, week after week!

Diva Challenge #81 - Mandala!

First, I would like to thank everyone for helping my blog hit 10,000 views last week!  I never thought that would happen :)

This week's Diva Challenge is issued by Erin Olson.  Every week, Erin issues a Mandala Dare, one which I have yet to find time to do!  After playing with today's design, I think I'll be participating in it more often.  I love mandalas, and they are always so pretty when they're done!  For more of my mandalas, you can visit my post "More Mandala Enjoyment".

For this week's challenge, I've posted the design we started with, and then my contribution.  Thanks, Erin!

Angel Fish

So I've skipped the Diva Challenge this week because I can't seem to get the UMT design down pat!  I've tried another new one though - I attempted to use Angel Fish (as posted on tanglepatterns.com) a Fescu/Dragonair-inspired design from Marizaan van Beek.  In her steps for the design, she showed how she infused Sanibelle with it, and of course, I love Sanibelle... so I had to try it too!  Turns out, I love how the tile turned out and had to share!
