MAY challenge and a partnering with CSI

Here is the picture to inspire you on Archiscraps

 

It looks like something from a Fairytale or Disneyland , doesn't it?
 It certainly screams girly pictures although there's nothing stopping you using boys or whatever else you like.

Now before you start have a look at this picture

It is the case file for our combined challenge at both Archiscraps and CSI.

The link up to CSI is  http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/

the unusual angle is my chipboard,done this way as it matched the pattern on the papers.

March Challenge

Another month has passed and we are now in MARCH.

Our winner for February was Regina with Mary running a close second.
Regina will receive Jan's stamp pack and I will post Mary a runners up prize.

Here is our inspiration picture, a very "Old English twist" this month.


The criteria this month is to use only Black, White and Grey. (You may use a coloured photo)
                                                 
                               
We welcome this month our Guest Designer Amanda Gilbert,
Here is her layout

I used a very old gray paper from my stash for the background.
I made the white overlay from Close To My Heart's Artbooking Cricut Cartridge.
The building in the photo inspired me to use strips, both on the side of the page, and as a photo border.
The color combination was perfect for this sports-themed page!

 

and here is your inspiration from the design team.

It is an old one of mine but I love that button frame and the Basic Grey items.

from whom I bought the albums originally.
