December challenge

 Happy Christmas to all our followers and here's hoping for a better 2021! 

A special festive thank you to our generous sponsors also.

**********************************************************************************

 Our December challenge is to use scallops, as many as you can! In interesting ways! 

Remember it can be a layout,card,tag or off the page project. (Why not do a gift box for someone special)

Maybe our picture reminds you of somewhere you have been, why not scrap those photos.

We are sponsored this month by Dusty Attic chipboard. A new sponsor and a fabulous product!

Now here's our Design Team's ideas for you.

October Challenge

 

The OCTOBER challenge is to use something circular and lots of layers.

We hope this photo will inspire you to join in the fun.

I made some tags and flags and there are two paper packs. The papers are big enough you can mount 4x6 photos on to them.

Our winner for last month was Karen Brierly. Congratulations,your layout was beautiful and so accurate to the era.

I'm still chasing sponsors so will add it in later.

July Challenge

Here is the inspiration for this month's challenge. It is the Bacardi building in Havana ,Cuba.
The theme for July is ART DECO.
You might want to google it and do some reading, but my best layman's explanation is it was an era with all lines and angles.
The Chrysler building is another good example from the era.

Two shapes that were popular in the Roaring twenties were the fan shape and the curved arch shape

It can be seen everywhere, it even has it's own font style! It can be seen on my layout here  "Empire Tower" is in art deco font.

Card makers you might like to try this one.

After all that explaing I hope you understand it more.

You can make a card, layout,postcard or tag.

Link it up on the side.
