Here's part of a decoration on a wall. It adds interest to the building.

We can do the same thing using paper or cardstock and it is called EMBOSSING.

So, your challenge this month is to use embossing (Wet or Dry)

October Challenge

 

The challenge this month is (we think) an easy one. You need to use a doiley! 

It can be any size or colour so long as we can see it on your layout or card.

Our prize this month is a mini purse album. The bag contains everything you need to make this. 

Now here's what our Design team ladies have produced.

Trish is our doiley queen!!

The heart doily is on top of the large circular one. I used a doily-like die cut for the label at the bottom.

September challenge

 

Here's the stimulus picture for September. It is the gold facade on the Brill Building in New York.

Recently renovated and it certainly shines.

Our challenge this month is to use gold accents on your layout or card.

Perhaps you could get started on those Christmas cards or a special wedding layout etc.

Here's 3 of my layouts to get you thinking:

                                                Gold flower, 3 gold buttons, gold butterfly

                                                                     Gold mist, gold star

                                                      Gold bling, gold corrugated card. 

Our Design team have come up with some lovely ideas too.

July challenge

 Don't get distressed but we are doing distressed this month! 

Get out those inks and sandpaper to dirty up your entries. You can even tear into your papers or use mists in appropriate colours to dirty your page.

Here's our picture

Make it as dirty and distressed as this house and car. Some examples below.

I'll be providing your prize this month.

Our winner for last month was Jane Howden.

Here's the DT ladies examples for you

                                                                       JULENE

I dirtied up the paper using mists and paint plus inking around the edges.

By using mixed alphas it has that haphazard look. 

TRISH

                                                                             DALE

I was inspired by the wood at the front of the house. I used distress inks in forst oak and aged mahogany and done 2 types of tearing of paper.

                                                                         BUFFY

                                                     It's distressed and a bit grungy.

                                                                      BARB

 The background tearing plus the chipboard gave these old photos a distressed look. Note the splats of coffee or tea.
