New Challenge at TIOT

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at TIOT and our theme is 

😊😊Going Round in Circles😊😊 

Please have a look at our blog and see the lovely pieces my teamies have made. As always, you have 2 weeks to join us, and projects of all formats are welcome. Hope to see YOU there.

I made a vintage page so that I can also link to Wendy's challenge at AJJ. The green disk on the right is one of the oldest astronomical artifacts ever found, the sky disk of Nebra. You can read about its very interesting history  here.
I think the man sitting at the bottom is dreaming about the world and the planets going round and round:



And I have another pair of narrow tags recycled from old birthday cards for my recycling challenge at Tag Tuesday. I made a similar pair with a different colour scheme some weeks back. The are nice to use on presents:



And some photos from our little town. These beautiful houses are in 'Stiftsplatz', the church close:







Along Market Street:



I love these fun lights at a little cafe here, where I had breakfast with a friend a week back:





And the beautiful, rusty sculpture in the castle grounds:





Have  a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  7. "Going round in circles" is a theme I could ease right into, Valerie! That simply emulates my normal state some days! I am quite sure, however, that we all have those days from time to time. Even you! This morning I am a little pressed for time, since I have been dawdling and the exalted Miriam is ready to go, so I had better keep my comment short. Until the next time. Hugs and kisses.

  9. I love the astronomy take on circles. It is unique and very clever. And perfect for circles too. I love the addition of the balloon. And nice recycle/reuse tag too. Your photos today show a really beautiful area too. The little man on the streetlight is adorable. It looks like a wonderful place to walk. I hope you are having a good day. Hugs-Erika

  20. What a creative way to honor two challenges at once. It sure turned out great for Wendy's theme at AJJ. Gotta love the balloon.

    Your tags made me smile. That is one bright pink background!

    What fun photos. Those men lights are so clever and cute. I've never seen anything like them before. Well done, dear.

  22. The lamp posts are great! They make me laugh at their cleverness and how fun they would be to see each time you pass by them. I really like the narrow tags and the tactile elements you added to them.

  23. A fabulous page, it fits the challenge themes so well and is great inspiration for the new one at TioT's as well as AJJ.
    The photos looked great and I am smiling so much after seeing the metal men at the top of the lamp posts. The tags look so pretty as well.
