Good For the Creative Soul Challenge – Lost in Translation

We love to do exchanges, support our team and do fun things that keep us creating.  In 2018  we want to push our dear Creative Crew into new creative adventures. We want them to push their limits, try new things and evolve their creativity. We decided to create a serie of out of the box challenges that we call “Good for the Creative Soul”.  We have figured out 1 special challenge each month.

In September we challenged the Crew to be lost in translation meaning they had to Use a word from a language you speak (not your native…) !  They could use any technique/material they wanted but it must be 75% CCB products.

 

Today we share the beautiful work from a few of our Creative Crew Members.

 

Juli Ondrush

 

“I’ve always said how blessed I am to be able to create beautiful things out of beautiful products. Today I am saying it in another language! Tattered Angels Decor & DIY paint is such a smooth, full coverage paint, it was my first choice for this album. One coat in ‘Dove’ completely covered the raw front in seconds. I used ‘Jade’ on the inside and backs of the covers, and the drying time for all was very short. Sometimes, the simplest things are the most important.”

“This challenge started out as intimidating but then it hit me – Wanderlust! And that collection, to me, says Roma! I made a little travel booklet using this collection and various Architextures throughout – and a wooden piece of luggage! But the main object of the challenge: use a different language! All my phrases are in Italian – can you guess what each one means?”

“The word “Heart” is one of the most important word in our life! I use Flash card with heart image to understand what this word means for someone who doesn’t know English, cheapboard mechanical heart and many items from Architextures collection. Then added colors of Glimmer mists Tattered Angels”

Julia Cotrim

 

“These colorful and cute napkin rings were made from old toilet paper rolls. I love to recycle and who follows me on social media knows this very well! I also love to decorate my dining table specially when I have friends coming over! My native language is Portuguese (Brasil) and I was raised and educated in a french school so besides English and Portuguese I also speak French.”

Lynda Lindley

 

“My family often jokes that I can speak cat because our cats tend to be very vocal with me. I knew when I saw this challenge that I wanted to create something fun to use to keep track of all the volunteer events and activities I do for our local TNR rescue non-profit. I decided to use “My love” as my theme. I speak Spanish and both my daughters are taking French, so I decided to use the Spanish and French words for “My love” and then how a cat says it….”Meow”. I am sure I will be the envy of our volunteer team when I pull out my special love notebook on our next assignment!”

Karla Yungwirth

 

“I love the beautiful Japanese symbols that translate to Arigato, or Thank You in English, and started with the gorgeous Canvas Corp Compose Your Life papers along with the sentiments stamped using a Pretty Cute Stamps set to create a Twist and Pop thank you card to give to a special friend!”

“I choice this photo where I talk and much like my typical way. And this line “What are you talking about?” is just perfect on this scrapbooking page. My native language is Finnish – so English is not natural to me.”

Lynne Joncas

 

“I always joke that I’m fluent in sarcasm and Pig Latin, but I do know a little bit of French too! I decided to skip the sarcasm for once,and include French and Pig Latin on my step card. I diecut the words out using different fonts and fussy-cut a few flowers from the paper for dimension, but kept the card fairly flat for mailing…”
