070121 Archi-scraps July Challenge

 

Layer mixed patterns

 Architecture really CAN provide some amazing inspiration!

And that's what we are all about at Archi-scraps.

Julene mentioned a quilt as an example, and I just so happened to have crafted a paper version for a Counterfeit Kit Challenge forgery.

 It made the perfect backdrop for a page about two family heirlooms that belonged to my husband's grandmothers and are now in the safekeeping of his mother. Nona's should say post WW I - I will have to correct that :D

It was fun finding photos of the ladies. The plate & cake plate were photos that I fussy-cut.

I cannot WAIT to see what others come up with for this challenge! 

Be sure to post on Facebook at the  Archi-scraps Community Group.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

 

 

 

062721 CKC June Bonus Challenge!

 

It's Tara's birthday!

 And this girl is generous - she's sharing it with all of us (but not the cake...hehe)

Her special request is as follows:

The challenge is to create a layout, using the color palette from my chosen kit, about you - celebrate YOU. Tell me about your strengths and weaknesses. Tell me why you are you. 

Fortunately I have my counterfeit kit to draw from so I know it will coordinate.

There is a lot I could tell you about myself. My interests (crafting, quilting, photography.) My family (married 46 years, 2 grown daughters & 4 grandchildren.) Two year college graduate. Retired office worker. Cancer survivor. Sinner saved by grace. 

 

I pray that if I can be a blessing to you that I will hear from you!

Thanks for stopping by!

 

061821 CKC June Challenge #2

 

Master Forger of Ceremonies Tara says, This kit is all about beautiful, bright colors and today I would like you to create a rainbow of color on your layout or card without using an actual rainbow!!  Here are some layouts that I found on Pinterest that will give you some ideas! 

 My June kit:

I knew I would use the 7 colors of 49 and Market Wishing Bubbles (top right quadrant) that I bought on a whim (translation: discount) I deliberately put them in the front of a drawer to make me use them & they were great with my kit. I was grateful to have this challenge in order to make a dent in my supply!

This Paper Phenomenon's 2020 Ladies Who Lunch Collection totally rocks my scrappy motto: 

Let the patterned paper do the work!

 

I chose this girly but grunge paper with all of the soft florals, added the birds on a wire washi (one of my faves), subbed in a whimsical bird leaving the cage, a stitched title, and just a few extra embellishments. A current photo & my motivational Bible verse completed my page.

 

 Hope you were inspired by this challenge to find a creative rainbow! Can't wait to see what you share.
