October Challenge

 


The challenge this month is (we think) an easy one. You need to use a doiley! 

It can be any size or colour so long as we can see it on your layout or card.

Our prize this month is a mini purse album. The bag contains everything you need to make this. 





Now here's what our Design team ladies have produced.

The heart doily is on top of the large circular one. I used a doily-like die cut for the label at the bottom.

September challenge

 


Here's the stimulus picture for September. It is the gold facade on the Brill Building in New York.

Recently renovated and it certainly shines.

Our challenge this month is to use gold accents on your layout or card.

Perhaps you could get started on those Christmas cards or a special wedding layout etc.

Here's 3 of my layouts to get you thinking:


                                                Gold flower, 3 gold buttons, gold butterfly


                                                                     Gold mist, gold star


                                                      Gold bling, gold corrugated card. 


Our Design team have come up with some lovely ideas too.
