Looking at the calendar this morning a distant bell rang in my head..31st March.. had I missed a birthday...or was it a dental appointment conveniently forgotten... ??? No neither of these...After spotting my ginger jar of paint brushes on the window sill ... I remembered then that Louise had organised another Blogger's Craft Challenge and today is the day that all participants are to submit their entry for this crafty participation. Louise has a wonderful blog called Beachy's Cape Cod Cupboard.. it is packed full of inspiring creations, enticing photographs and burnished with Louise's warmth and charm. This is the third challenge that BCCC has organised and I so enjoyed the last so how did I manage to forget this one.. till the last minute??
The evocative photograph titled 'Whitby ~ 1935'...was supplied for all bloggers to alter in their own way.. so having downloaded the photograph I then printed it onto a linen cloth with the words..'I do like to be beside the seaside' to reflect the atmosphere of the group of happy people on the beach.
With glue brush in hand and my boxes of buttons, beads and bits and bobs.. I put together this embellished canvas..
Voila...here is my version of 'Whitby ~ 1935'
It was the most enjoyable hour I have had for a long time.. making something for my own amusement.
Please go and have a look at all the other participants.. it is wonderful to see how everyone has interpreted this challenge..

Michele! That is GORGEOUS!!! I love the way you've added all the pearly buttons (I think I am in envy of your button stash)! Thank you for participating once again!

Hi Michele - I do like to be beside your seaside, it's lovely.. I had mine all ready to go and then decided against at the last moment!! Yours is just so pretty, I love it.

Hey yours could well be in "show the world your buttons" as well!
(btw writing this is a bit strange to me. Because english isn't my native speech, I suspect that buttons doesn't mean the buttons you have glued down only. But I really want to say that there is a buttons challenge going on too.)
yours is adorable!!!
i will post mine later, not quite what i wanted.
oxooxx,

Hi Michele,
Your canvas looks wonderful, I can't believe that it only took you an hour to make. These challenges are so much fun aren't they.
Cheers Linda
What a fun version of Beachy's Cape Cod Cupboard challenge, that is a fantastic button colletion.
The best fun of her challenges is meeting all the other blogers and seeing what they do with the image.
I stumbled into your blog and am so glad I did. Had to tell you - when I clicked away, my heart did a little panic thing because I lost your music. Oh my Gosh! You have great taste and have made the perfect soundtrack for blogging. Thank you!
Hi, the buttons are adorable! I just love all the summer colors in it. Very CUTE!

I can see how much fun you had doing that, great work:) Rachael
Michele, your entry is lovely. I do like the pastel colours of the buttons against the greyness of the linen. I expect you will want to make more of these, using different vintage photos. x
That is so lovely Michele. Printing onto Linen ! how do you do that?

Look at how cute and you enjoyed yourself at the same time. Nothing beats that! You continue to inspire me!!
