This week's challenges

From now on, I plan to post all my 
weekly challenges in one blog post. 

This first one is It's a String Thing #53, 
using string #54 by Hope Martin:

and any or all of the following tangles:

Hurray! by Agneta Landegren
Planateen by Sandra Strait   
and Onomato and Pokeleaf 
 by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts

and this is my response:

 I ended up using only Onomato and Pokeleaf. 

I started out using Onomato as the string line, expecting to fill the open spaces with the other tangles. Once I filled in the first area with Pokeleaf however, it just seemed natural to use it in the other spaces as well. And I'm quite happy with the results.

Be sure to check out all the entries @ Tickled to Tangle, on Monday, when Adele Bruno posts them. The vast differences that can be achieved using the same tangles on the same string are truly incredible. And, if you've a mind to try a String Thing yourself, check back on Tuesday, when she offers the new ones.

This next one is for the Diva's Challenge #180. It's a UMT (Use My Tangle) challenge, and the tangle she wants us to use is MacDee by Anneke van Dam. You can see the step-outs here.
I chose to use it as a background, with Purk in the foreground:

 I'm happy with this one, too.

Be sure to visit the Diva's site to see the other wonderful entries; as I've said before, it's amazing how different all the responses are. Maybe you'll be inspired to try out 
one of the Challenges yourself.

I only did these two challenges this week; 
perhaps next week I'll have a chance to do more.
