Add something crooked to your scrapbook page - challenge

Hi folks.

Happy 2025 to you all.

Now that all that hectic festive season is over, perhaps we have time to get into our craft spaces?

If you're up for an interesting challenge, here is one that is nice and easy.

Be inspired by the image of The Crooked House. Add something crooked to your scrapbook page.

I've angled some lime green paper and the photo to make it a feature on the page. I've also angled the wood veneer camera embellishment.

Head over to the Archiscraps community page on facebook to add your creation to the January album. Best of luck.

Scrapbook page using flowers and some mixed media

 

This is the first scrapbook layout that I've created in my new home/craft room.

It is for a challenge for the December 2024 Archi-Scraps Design Team. Use the following image and use mixed media.

I've used a stencil and lots of inks on the background page. I've inked all the edges of all papers. Ialso stamped an image on the pink cardstock. Then I've added some ribbon, stickers and an acetate image.

There is a prize to win. Add your entry here.

Lake scene card for Archi-scraps challenge

 

Here is a little card I made. The second card I've made in my new craft room.

It's my Design Team example for November 2024's Archi-scraps challenge. Here is the image to be inspired my. You must use only colours in this pic.

Isn't this a charming image? I would be worried about stepping off into the water though. Geez.

Hope to see you join in. Hope over to the facebook page to enter.

Layer it up!

What a crazy set of buildings these are!  

It's the September 2024 inspo pic for the Archi-scraps challenge. Criteria is to use layers (use scraps).

I made my first creation in my new craft room (had to be a card as I was not quite set up for anything more than that). Moving house is hard work.

I've used plenty of layers and I wanted to add some greenery as well.

Please join us. I want to see what you create.

Put a rose on it

August Archi-Scraps challenge

Here is your guide to this month's scrappy challenge.

Use the pic below and add a rose to your layout.

I have used the colour scheme. There are 5 pot plants along the front of the building. I have added 5 flowers in a row.

I've added a white rose with a similar petal arrangement.

There are also roses on the Webster's Pages embellishments that I have used.

Have a read of the description of this wedding gown. It's very interesting. The gown was also really very small.

Head over to the facebook community page to add your entry.

Thanks for looking.

Book Nook

 

Oh my goodness. I love this so much. I want one.

I love to read. We have lots of books. We're renovating our laundry this month. It's a huge space, so we are dividing part of it off and making it into a library. It won't be so magical as this though.

This is Archiscraps' July challenge.The extra criteria is:

Put a large hole in your page with a layer underneath it.

You must do that to qualify to win the prize.

Here is my layout. I wish it was a book one, but oh well.

I cut out a shape on my cardstock that reflected the shape of the roses in the flowers in the bouquet. It also highlights the top photo.

Maybe you can do better, come up with something more exciting. Give it a go hey.

A Christmas scrapbook page

May is going to be a fabulous month with lots of fun stuff happening.

Do you like this classy image?

If it inspires you, let me tell you how you can get creative with it.

I've been on a Design Team for a scrapbooking challenge blog for month years now. It is called Archiscraps. You are given an image and a criteria to include and you need to make a layout inspired by it.

There are several designers who give examples of each month's image. You can view their work, and mine, here.

Then, once you have created your page, go and upload it to the facebook page album here.

I saw this image and thought of Christmas. I loved the gold accents too.

The criteria to follow is: Black/ white/ red /gold and something hanging. (Like a charm or bead etc)

Here is my page. I definitely needed to add some black and I had this great sparkly red cardstock.

I saw the hanging wreath but didn't want to add a wreath so I added a chipboard circle as my title.

I have a few gold accents throughout. I think that the gold banner really pops.

I had a fun tassel which I added using a gold brad.

I've definitely met all of the criteria. Make sure you do. The DT vote on each month's entries and we do make sure that the winner has met it.

Best of luck. We'd love to see your entry.
