Time for a Christmas challenge

How cute is this painting with baby emus by Marg Whyte with "Trimming the tree"?
It is this month's inspo at ARTastic.  Criteria is to add stars and ribbons.

Here is what I came up with.  I have red ribbon across the top and on the tag. I've added stars along the ribbon. The base paper is from Kaisercraft's Base Coat Christmas collection. It is perfect for this photo.

Get to it!

A special card incorporating a zipper

This month's challenge pic at Archi-scraps is below. You  must incorporate a zipper in your project.



Milan, Italy by @Alex Chinneck

A special 80th birthday card for a friend. A zipper on my dress broke so I decided to cut the dress up and use it. The catch got stuck at the top so it left an open section which I have filled with flowers.

 This is the sun dress. The zipper was on the side and I have cut a section off.

I chose a bright pink cardstock as the base to match the print.  Then I cut a frame out of black cardstock to hide the edges of the cut out dress.

 You can see where there is a slit where the zipper is open. I placed flowers along it until I was happy with the design.

There was a little gap of pink at the top between the frame and the dress and I've added a die-cut doily where I put the number "80".

I am certain my friend will love this card.  It is rather large, a 6" x 12" card.

Hop over to Archi-scraps and see what the other designers have done and also find out what the prize for this month's winning entry is.

Reflections

Hi there,

It's a fun challenge at Archi-scraps this month. The challenge is to use reflections. Can't wait to see what entries there are. This month's sponsor is Memory Maze.



Here's my take on it.

I'm liking this colour combination.

Get cracking!

Black and white scrapbook challenge - horses

I love this month's challenge at ARTastic.  It's to use black and white and be inspired by the racing image by Kristin Hardimann with Stream out of the barriers.

We were hobby owner/breeders of racehorses when I was a child.  My layout depicts a photo of the first horse we bred and my journalling tells his story.





It can be a bit of a challenge to work in just black and white but why not give it a go. The results can be quite striking. Check out the other Designers work too, on facebook or the challenge blog.
