Our winners for November are Amanda Gilbert and Jackie Edwards. I will be contacting you both soon.

We are going more manly this month although you may adapt our challenge for a female entry.

 

Your challenge is to use COGS

Remember it can be a layout, card, tag whatever , so long as it answers the criteria.

So get those mental cogs turning....you have until the end of DECEMBER.
Our prize is provided by me. It is a mixed selection of scrapbooking goodies with a Christmas flavour.

November Something at an angle challenge

Here is our picture for this month. It was taken in Dubai.

 

The challenge this month is to put something on an angle.

 

Easy, right.

 

We've also used chip it to get this set of colours for you.

 

You don't have to use them, only if you wish to. Remember it can be a layout, card etc.

Our prize this month is from 2 Crafty chipboard again.



Now here are the DT examples.

Welcome to our Guest DT member, Esther

Hi - I'm Esther, I have been crafting all my life and discovered scrapbooking in 1997. I have a busy, stressful day job so crafting is my therapy and I love rubber stamping and getting messy and in inky. I was thrilled to be asked to be guest designer at Archiscraps and enjoyed relaxing over my zentangle page. 

 

The DT have had fun drawing zentangles for you
