ARCHISCRAPS & SKETCHY BOARDS NOVEMBER.

And here we are in November...  sliding quickly into the last couple of months of 2016. The shops are now filling shelves with festive goodies trying to entice us all to start spending.... eek! let me off the merry go round!!
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 papers are Kaisercraft and the chipboard is all from Scrapmatts.

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!!

  6. Ah 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.
