July 5th, 2026 - A Place To Start - Anythng Goes - Black and White
Black and White at a Place to Start this month. Thought I would go a little different, after being away from crafting and drawing for so long. Here is a journal page.
I use one of those old Picture Albums, with the black pages. The white is gel pen, white marker and black markers, white pencil that is for black backgrounds and even some white liquid pearls. The little sailing ship has been created with some scraps of black cardstock.

A Place to Start - 1st December, 2025
For the Anything Goes, optional winter things, I chose to use an image from Imagine That, called Gertie Goose Umbrella.
The background has been created using a Kaleidacolor stamp pad, with the colours together. The rain drops are from Flour8ish with a Bling, sadly no longer available.
Gertie Goode has been coloured with copic pens and fussy cut, the sentiment came with the image.

A Place to Start - 3rd November, 2025
Anything Goes, optional something new.
I tried out some new pencils I bought that are supposed to be good on black paper. That jury is still out, I think I need more practice before I decide.
Bit tired of seeing all the autumn, halloween colurs, in the Southern Hemisphere we are in Spring.
The blossom tree is something I first saw way back in 1957, facial tissues were still a novelty and we could get coloured ones, my grade 3 teacher made a frieze of the seasons and used the pink tissues to make the blossoms.

I do like using this colour combo, although I was a bit concerned I would run out of black ink when printing. The girl is from Sheepski Designs, I always think of her as walking home after a party. She is called "Party Shoes#.
Her dress and shoes have been coloured with Prismacolor pencils.

A Place to Start - 4th November, 2024.
This month's challenge at A Place to Start has an option of doing a Thankful project.
This image is called Cherry Blossom Flower, don't know who drew the flower. I have been doing some pencil classes online and this was one of the images.
The process for the card was to colour the flower with Prismacolour pencils. I then photographed the coloured flower and load it onto my computer. Using some digital techniques, I then created this card.
Once the card was printed I used some liquid pearls in pale pink, did some swipes onto the 0paper and lots of dots.

A Place to Start - 1st July, 2024
This month at A Place to Start we have an Anything Goes challenge. A couple of months ago, after we had packed up the craftroom (yes, we are still packing) I realised I needed a birthday card for our youngest grandson, what do you do for a 19 year old! Then panic sat in as I remembered I was also catching up with a 12 year old whose birthday card was due.
Bit of a search on google bought up a great image, in fact I think there is 16 in the set, colours to suit a lot of people. Here is the link "Video Game Controller" Each image is very clear and colourful and not expensive.
I downloaded the set, made one into a black and white for our grandson (colours of his favourite football team) and used a blue image for the younger of the boys.
After typing in the sentiment, printed and folded the card, luckily quick and easy as I still had to decorate the cake.

This month at A Place to Start the them is Must be Square, you need to have a square project.
A great place to start is with an image, no, I did not draw this little Elephant, but I did colour it with Prismacolur pencils, it was a colouring class at Kit and Clowder .
Once coloured I uploaded to my computer, made up the little verse, added some ditigal hearts and to complete the card, al little crystal heart was added.
