February Challenge

 Another month arrives with Valentines Day smack dab in the middle.

Maybe that can inspire you this month.

Our picture looks like this.

It's like something from Swiss Family Robinson.

Your challenge this month is 

Layer your items at angles. (If a layout,layer the photos or papers at angles, if a card layer the papers at angles.)

Your projects need to be uploaded into the album on Facebook under "February" on 

(5) Archiscraps Community Group | Facebook

We are getting a great response lately,which is fabulous. Keep them coming!

Now here's what our design team have come up with.

January 2021 challenge.

 Happy new year! Here's to a COVID free 2021.

Our winner for December was   Rosslyn.

 Congratulations!

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

Now on to our new challenge which is.........

Feature mushrooms, toadstools or other fungi on your page.

You will be given free reign on this, the fungi can be in the photo or on the papers or as an embellishment or stamp.

Searching through my own layouts and cards I've come up with these

My daughter's toadstool cupcakes note the Memory Maze painted white mushrooms bottom right.

(Background was done using gesso through a mask over red paper.)

Toadstool salt and pepper shakers on the windowsill, plus bottlecap embellishments featuring mushrooms.

This one used Flourish with a bling toadstools (no longer available)

And a card featuring a mushroom border plus a bigger featured mushroom.

Now on to the Design Team girls.

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

 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.
