Meg's Garden

Hi There!
Meg's Garden are having a Blog Hop!
 
Mark your calendars for the

Meg’s Garden Design Team Blog Hop!


one of the longest Blog Hops ever done – around the World.
 
From Wikipedia:  ‘Phileas Fogg is the main fictional character in the 1873 Jules Verne novel ‘Around the World in Eighty Days’.

Fogg attempts to circumnavigate the late Victorian world in eighty days, or less, for a wager of £20,000 with members of London’s Reform Club.  He takes the wager and leaves with Passepartout, vowing to return by 8:45 pm on Saturday 21 December 1872. Under suspicion of robbing the Bank of England,  he is followed by a detective named Fix. Fogg has no idea about Fix's true intentions and Fix (wanting to get Fogg back to England so that he can arrest him) works with Fogg in the last half of the book.

While in India he saves a widowed princess, named Aouda from  Suttee during her husband's funeral. Passepartout rescues her and she accompanies Fogg for the rest of his journey. She and Fogg eventually fall in love and marry at the end of the book. Fix, who is really supposed to arrest Fogg, attempts to sabotage him by putting him in prison near the end of the book but he is quickly released. Fogg, who has been careful to keep track of every day in his diary, believes that he arrives home on Sunday and that he has lost his bet. However, he discovers, almost too late, that he has forgotten to adjust his timekeeping for having crossed the International Date Line and he wins his bet after all.’

 

Phileas Fogg had 80 days to circle the globe - we are allowing 4 days only!  But we have an advantage over his modes of travel
 – he had to catch trains, ride an elephant, an air balloon & more....


Make sure you complete the list – become a follower, like us on FB & leave a comment – at each blog.
Starts 30, November 2012 for 3 days at 5:00 p.m.
Eye Candy at each blog & a prize at the end !!
 
I hope you will join us!!!

My Creative Sketches November challenge

Hi there!

The November sketch is up at My Creative Sketches! Another fab sketch created by Kim Keane! As always Pam is offering a FANTASTIC prize





I used the gorgeous October LE kit from My Creative Scrapbook. Full of yummy goodies from Websters Pages Park Drive & Prima

The chippie is from Imaginarium Designs. I was lucky to win a pack of chippies from ID last month & this was part of the prize! I have primed it with gesso, painted with Shimmerz Blingz Spiced Cider & sprikled a bit of copper on top for extra sparkle

The mask is Creative Workshop. I used some texture paste first then once it was dry I painted some Shimmerz Blings Spiced Copper over the top. This was the first time I played with Shimmerz products & I LUV the effect it gives, especially over the top of the paste. It gives a beautiful rich & shiny sheen

Thanks for Looking!
Cheers
