December challenge

 

Our last challenge for Archiscraps 2023 is an easy one. 

The theme is Christmas and we want you to include an outside building.  (or part of one eg a window or door)

 Outside a stable and up on a roof with a chimney both count as outside buildings.

The prize will be provided by me and is Christmas themed.

We can do the same thing using paper or cardstock and it is called EMBOSSING.

So, your challenge this month is to use embossing (Wet or Dry)

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.

Trish is our doiley queen!!

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.
