January Archiscraps challenge

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We are starting our 7th year at ARCHISCRAPS which is quite an achievement.

And to start off 2016 we welcome Mary Bennetts, Coralie Lizzy Crust and  Liz Hocking to our team.

Congratulations to Emma Farley who is our winner for December.

Our picture this month is one I'm sure you will recognise.
 
OUR CHALLENGE IS TO USE SOMETHING WITH WATER
This might be water colour paint, misting spritzes or any other wet medium.
Mixed media people should enjoy this challenge.
                                                                 ****************
Our guest DT this month is Karen Brierly

My name is Karen Brierley, and I live in a quiet, semi-rural area of southeast Queensland, Australia, with my husband and daughter.  We share our property with our pet dog and an assortment of ducks and chickens.  I've been scrapbooking for over 10 years; it's my "happy place" where I can indulge my creative side, record family memories, AND there are no rules!  I'd love you to visit my blog at beingkaren.blogspot.com


And here is her wonderful take on our challenge


I love all the misty blue splodges on the background.
