Gooooodly Morning to all you Compendium-ers! Today sees the start of a
brand new Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge. To see all the details
on how to join in with the challenge, CLICK HERE. Also, if you pop across to Linda's blog, you will see all gorgeous creations that my talented teamies on the Curiosity Crew have made... well worth taking a cuppa and a Hobnob with you :O) The challenge is sponsored by the Funky Junkie Boutique this time... so you will have a chance of winning a generous Gift
Certificate to spend there. As before, Tim & Mario have very kindly
donated goodies for an extra prize... which will be awarded to the
"Curiosity Crew's Choice"... so you have two chances of winning fabby
prizes! If you haven't got your Compendium book just yet, you can order
a signed copy directly from the man himself... HERE. And... Linda has also done a FAQ page for you.. HERE it is... all the info you will need is listed there.
This week we are turning to Page 37 of the book and altering a Burlap Panel. Now, as ever with the Compendium Challenge neither I nor the Curiosity Crew will be posting the technique
instructions and participants must not do so either. We all want to
encourage people to buy Tim's awesome book; giving away the instructions
wouldn’t be fair to him. Linda will have no choice but to un-link any
entries that don’t follow this rule.
My entry for this weeks challenge is actually a little behind in completion! You know when you get an idea in your head and you go with it... and then you go with it a bit more and then a bit even more? Well, this is what happened to my alteration of my Burlap Panels! I actually sketched this project out last year and it was one of those projects that just never had the time to dedicate to it... and when I knew that Page 37 was coming up, I decided to go with this design for my entry. And then life threw a curve ball and I ran out of time! I have a sneaky peeky pic (above) of it part finished, this is a long way from what the final *thingy* will look like but I figured some pic is better than no pic! I will be finishing off my project over the weekend so please do pop back to see it finished if you have time.
That's all for now - don't forget, you will have two weeks to enter the challenge... and a bat at the chance of grabbing the Crew's Choice prize which is a mahooosive haul of stash donated personally by Tim & Mario... so if you are joining in, remember to comment on all the Crew's blogs and you will be in with a chance of winning that too *believe me, this is one gigantic pile of goodies*! Thanks for looking, have an inky day! TTFN

Beautiful work of art on Tim's burlap panel. I am really enjoying this hop and you and all your team members have really outdone themselves.
I see you had time to add your famous harlequin stamp motif! (At this point I would be quite disappointed not to see it; I'd have to check to make sure you weren't taken over by aliens!)
Love what we see so far; can't wait for the finished project. So stop reading these comments and get to work!!! :)

This is such a beautiful way to use Tim's technique. I love the use of the bird as the focal point and the bit of black in the corner to offset the lighter tones. Gorgeous
