New Creative Tuesdays Theme and other exciting new things



Firstly, let me start by saying that, yes, CREATIVE TUESDAYS is returning back to its own blog since that is all I used the DottyHill.com blog for anyway, so now the link there comes right here instead. As such, please link to HERE now (http://creativetuesdays.blogspot.com/) for the various themes when mentioning them or CT. If you mention me per se, you can still always link that back to my dottyhill.com site too, of course.

Going back to blogger will help eliminate any confusion when I leave comments on your site using blogger as now the sign ups and your participation will all be in the same place. I hope this addresses any concerns that some of you might have had with signing up on the dotty hill site, being that it isn't as blogger friendly (but nevertheless still works great my portfolio needs). So, if you happen to think of it, do let me know how you like the site (or not). I decided to showcase the "Taking Flight" old theme's piece I did as it really represents what this srt co-op is all about. CT is like a refuge and a chance to get away from it all, exploring one's creativity, taking it to new heights and explorations etc. I've certainly seen that here with each of you over the the time I've known your style, something I soooo LOVE watching! It's thrilling to me, actually. I hope it is to you too.

OK, onto the NEW theme with our new look and feel here!

Time to start thinking of.... POPPIES, due on Tuesday, August 19th. If you enjoy painting flowers, you'll love this one!  Sign up when ready. Thank you and be sure to let our fellow co-oppers know the news too, if you happen to find anyone lost out there wondering where CT has gone!

  4. Nice one! I love poppies. It's always so lovely to see their bright red heads popping up along our motorways. I may do more than one in different mediums as this challenge gives me the incentive to play a little to see what happens.

  5. Hi Everyone! I just finished mine, this was a fun challenge (especially as I really like the "Wizard of Oz" and managed to blend the Poppies from that story with the piece I did). I will get on looking at everyone's great red balloon works soon. Hope you have all been well in the week I was off <3 Donna

  6. sadly, I couldn't seem to get into this new theme but there's a few days so who knows.

    as for moving back to blogger, it's fine with me as I've never had a problem with signing up at the .com site nor here. but I do agreed with you, blogger is a bit more user-friendly and certainly easier to set up.

    have a great day.

    1. Yes, you never know, Lissa. I never herd any issues with signing up but I know Alex had many who had issues with her squarespace and find blogger easier. It is easier to navigate I suppose. :)
