Well we can always just hide in our scrap spaces and create.. that makes it all better!! hehe!!
The new month brings new challenges in the scrap world!!
The challenge for ARCHI-SCRAPS might seem unusual but it really is quite easy!!
and it is to put something on an angle...I have created two cards... yes in a futile attempt to have hand made cards this Christmas I have created two Christmas cards with angle designs..
My cards..
The November challenge for SKETCHY BOARDS ON FACEBOOK is to be inspired either by both the sketch and the color palette or just one of them in an attempt to make it easier and get more participants..
The board.
and or the sketch..
so my layout..I have used a softer color palette and a vague take on the sketch...
some closer views..
and my layout..
Gentle beauty.
I have used really old papers and all the chipboard pieces are from Scrapmatts!
I hope your November is off to a great start! This month for us in Queensland is the time the beautiful Jacaranda tree bursts into flower and leaves a carpet of purple on the ground!!
Thank you for leaving a comment, I do appreciate you taking a moment to have a chat!!
I love the cards Lizzie - perfect for Chrissy! The layout is divine. It seems that every time I see a page of yours your daughter has grown up just a little bit more. I wish we could grow jacaranda trees here - they're so beautiful!

ReplyDeleteAh Lizzy - like you, I'm try to ignore all the festive bizzo in the shops and just focus on being in the moment. Christmas to me, it about being with family, not all the hooplah. But I digress; your cards are lovely and the layout is sheer perfection; soft and elegant with those gorgeous photos remaining the focal point. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYES! Our jacarandas are starting to & it's a joy to behold! As are your creations. ADORE the cards. And you're right, easier to do than one would think. Your pretty LO is just awesome. LOVE the chippies. They really set it off beautifully!!

LOL! I have given up on hand made Christmas cards. Quite frankly my time is so limited that when I do have time to create I want to make pretty pages. Your page is gorgeousness. Love all the layers and your pretty chipboard accents. I hope you are doing well xxxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards and a fabulous page of your daughter! Love the soft purple colours of the page and gorgeous elements! I adore Jacaranda's too and our suburb is filled with them too at the moment....it always lifts my spirit! ;-)
