JANUARY CHALLENGES..!! 2017!!

My goodness, the new year has arrived.. Happy New Year to you all! Did you see the old year out and the new year in?? I did, just by watching tv and being on the ipad and then we watched the fire works from Sydney, and it was time to go to bed...  and just like that....

And so with a new month the Scrapbooking challenges are being revealed..

The challenge for ARCHISCRAPS January is a easy and pretty one,

   and it is to use lace on your creation.. The sponsor this month is
<center>2 Crafty Chipboard </center> You can see the Designers take and link up HERE!!!  

And I created a card using lace, a lace flower and bow...


The chipboard I have used is SCRAPMATTS!

And...  the new challenge for KRAFT+ is a fabulous one and it is..
"On your bike" !  You must use Kraft and have a bike on your creation somewhere.. and just for a refresher of the rules please CLICK HERE!!!  

And my first layout as a Design Team member...

some closer views.

I have gone a little bit vintage!!
I love this vintage chipboard penny farthing...

A step back in time..
The photo is of my Husband and I taken when we dressed for the occasion of our (then) church's anniversary, several of the congregation wore old style clothing.. I must say I am glad to be living in today's world, that long skirt and top sure was hot!!
Make sure you pop over and CHECK OUT THE DESIGNERS INSPIRATION AND LINK UP HERE!!

  4. And we're off and running! The New Year is here with a bang and lots of new challenges. Love the lacy card with the Scrapmatts chippy. Your Kraft+ DT page is something out of the box. I didn't occur to me to scrap vintage, even though I have that penny farthing bike. Love the layers and the soft colours; the little hessian flowers look great with the old fashioned camera. Inspirational work. All the best for 2017.

Your card is pretty and feminine,love the pink colours. The photo for your layout is perfect for the theme. I don't think I woud like wearing those clothes in the heat either, bonnets and all.
