Challenge #7 and extra time.

People seem to be having trouble with my challenge going mid month to mid month ,so with this next one you have until the END OF JANUARY.
That's correct.Entries close on 31st January at midnight.

Here is your inspiration.

 

It is the front entrance to Taronga park Zoo in Sydney.

It recently celebrated its 95th Birthday with a complete refurbishment.It is iconic to Sydney and is heritage listed.

 

Your challenge is to do a layout containing at least part of a circle,or a whole circle and because it is the zoo,an animal somewhere.It can be any animal from a bird right up to an elephant.Perhaps you actually have a zoo layout or you've visited an animal park.

And here's the prize,a packet of Thickers,Pebbles border strips,designer clips,adhesive Christmas stocking banner and a whole roll of leopard print ribbon,that's 5 metres.

Only a week to go!

Archiscraps # 4 challenge

I thought you'd all like a change of pace so here is a fun one for you to scrap this month...The MAD MAX MUSEUM at Silverton,near Broken Hill.

While it isn't exactly architecture,it is a building!
You could do grungy layouts or one using corrugated card or one involving cars!Wherever your imagination takes you.....

REMEMBER it doesn't have to have a building in it ,just something that harks back to this photo.
The prize is shown below.It is a variety of chipboard,two different sorts of stickers and some colourful eyelets.

And the winner is......Debi J

Debi J used the colours from the photo and created this wonderful layout about her daughter.Congratulations Debi.Could you please email me at julenem54@bigpond.com to tell me your address details and the mini album pack will be posted to you.

Archiscraps 2nd challenge

Our second challenge features a view of some windows.They could be anywhere.They have colourful blinds on them.Perhaps you can use the shapes of the windows,the fact that they appear "distressed" or just the colours in the picture.Remember,the interpretation is up to you.
I haven't mentioned the country these remind me of so that your layout is more open for interpretation.
YOU HAVE UNTIL 15TH AUGUST AT MIDNIGHT (EST) to complete this challenge.

Our first winner

Firstly,many thanks to all who came to this site even if it was only to look.We had 2 entries this month from Shazza and Jane.
Without further ado the winner is SHAZZA
Your prize will be in the post soon.
Here is her entry

Only a few days left to Archiscrap!

Archiscraps first challenge ends on 15th July at midnight.
So far we have one entry BUT I'd like to see more.
As LLeyton Hewitt says "C'mon"

All you are required to do is produce a layout featuring the colours or shapes or anything else the Duomo inspires you to do.I'm sure you all have a brown/rust/cream layout somewhere.IT DOESN"T HAVE TO FEATURE ARCHITECTURE, it could have a sepia photo of Grandma etc.
PLease upload via the comments section.

A sample layout for you.

This layout has been done for another blog but it features the colours and shapes(round) featured in the Duomo photo.So you can see,it doesn;'t need to be about the photo as such,just inspired by it!
My stats tell me 49 people have looked at this site, so come on and join in.Don't be afraid.I'd love to see your entries no matter if you are a beginner or experienced.

Welcome to Archiscraps

After being a scrapbooker for over 10 years and following several challenge blogs,I have decided to launch one of my own.This is
ARCHI-SCRAPS a challenge/inspiration site based on architecture and the exteriors of buildings!!!!

So without further ado,here is your first challenge.....




THe DUOMO in Florence is one of the world's most outstanding buildings.

You can go with the colours on it or the arched/circle shapes or perhaps the photo will inspire you to do something else.
Your layout doesn't have to feature architecture. This is just inspiration to get you started.
The date for completion of this challenge will be 15th July.This gives you just over a month for this first one.

There is a prize...



Link your entries by using the comments section.
I'm so looking forward to seeing what you produce.
Thank you,Julene.
