Turquoise Paintbox Blocks



I’ve been looking through my unfinished projects and decided it was time to get back to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, as I have a few rainbow projects on the go.  Hopefully I can finish off most of the blocks this year.

For this Saturday I worked on four turquoise Paintbox blocks

It was nice to think of the aquamarine colour of the water in the Caribbean while making these blocks as the temperature in Calgary was -30 degrees Celsius last night.

I now have 59 of 80 needed paint boxblocks, getting close!

If you would like to see what others are doing for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, or perhaps join us in our scrappy fun have a look at Soscrappy’s blog.

What we really need to be healthy is a glass of wine with our vitamin Sea.
