October Challenge

The October challenge at Archiscraps is STEPPING.



This can be done 2 ways.

A) Use different size photos stepping down the page



B) Show a step by step process  eg making a cake, baby rolling over etc.





Here's my example of B. It shows how the male lion asserted his dominance over the female.

 

Our prize this month is from Maureen Wood. Thank you!



Our winner for last month was Donna Cope.

Now for the design teams ideas.

                                                              EMMA



She has stepped the photos and the papers down the page.

September challenge

 


This is the partisan's memorial in Israel. 

The September challenge at Archiscraps is to use a large star as a feature.

We are sponsored this month by Jan Agnew who has donated a collection of Kaisercraft goods.

Our winner for August is Di Landers


This challenge could work in with Christmas. Why not make a star Christmas card or layout?



Or just use the star shape in another way. I saw this layout on Paper Issues.


Now let's see what the design team have come up with.

August Challenge

 Here is the link to join us.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/627040677839553

Well August has appeared on the horizon and another month begins.


Your challenge this month is use a wheel or something that turns a circle. It must actually turn so use a brad to fasten it to your page.


Let's see what our design team ladies have made this month.

EMMA


The cogs actually turn.

JULENE

The viewmaster wheel turns


This is actually a wheel containing several photos that turns so different photos show in the hole.



VICTORIA


The hands on the clock actually turn.

BUFFY


The wheels actually turn.

TRISH


A mini album with pages that turn around the ring so they can be seen

We are looking forward to seeing what you come up with this month.


The prize is a mini binder album (with rings) as well as a small mask and some ribbons.

See you next month!

July Challenge

 


I have another easy challenge for you this month. Can you guess?    

Use an elephant somewhere on your layout.

Maybe you have zoo photos, or circus photos or you've travelled somewhere there's elephants. Or maybe you just have a picture of an elephant in your stash and want to use it. Do you have a favourite elephant story like Babar or Elmer the patchwork elephant. Let your mind wander through your elephant files!

We are sponsored by Dusty Attic this month.


A very big thank you to Jennifer Hedger.

Here are some elephanty ideas for you.
