Archi - Scraps August Challenge

This month's Archi-Scraps challenge is to use something CLEAR on your layout. 

Click HERE for details and to see what the Design Team have come up with to inspire you!

June seems so long ago now but my LO was inspired by the wonderful tradition of afternoon tea and there's no better time for a tea party than during Wimbledon fortnight.

Strawberries and cream anyone??

The patterned background paper is entitled "C'est la vie - deja vu" 

and is from the  BoBunny Back to Backs range, 

it's been in my stash forever.

My see through elements were the blue doily (Little Yellow Bicycle - clear cut shapes) 

layered upon the white paper doily 

and the clear title alphas which I received in a kit swap recently.

The prize for Australian entrants this month is 

an 8 x 8 etched acrylic album.

Overseas winners will be invited to be 

Archi-scraps Guest Designer next month!

Archi - scraps July challenge.

I've loved dogs all my life and they have featured in many of my scrap booking pages.

The Archi - scraps July pet challenge was just up my street.

Take a look at this cute little guy! 

What a great prompt!

The perfect excuse to scrap yet another photo of our 

darling German Shepherd M'selle Fleur.

Fleur likes nothing better than to sit in the back of the car 

waiting and watching the world go by. 

That way she's always ready

when it's time to go! 

For this LO I used a kit which Michele @ Crafts For Eternity 

sent to me as a birthday gift 

on behalf my Scrap Happy teamies over at UKScrappers.

Check out the optional sketch prompt provided by Mystical Scrapbooking.

There will be prizes!

Archi-Scraps/CSI Challenge

I recently discovered Archi-Scraps a scrapbooking challenge blog with a twist.

It is hosted by Julene a member of the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Design Team.

As the blog's name and badge suggest the monthly challenges are inspired by something architectural, she had me with the Eiffel Tower!

This month Archi-Scraps are collaborating with the CSI Detectives and using this case file as the prompt.

Quite the fairy tale cottage, n'est pas?

A little over the top perhaps 

and rather more suited to my April CK 

than this month's Retro Metro Kit I thought.

My sister Kathryn and me at the Quimper Club Meeting, Nice France. September 2014.

I had a look through the leftover bits and bobs from the April kit and found an unused double sided sheet of paper with a camera design, a journalling card with a pretty butterfly

 and a Heidi Swapp foil card that I thought would work well together.

A quick rummage through my stash uncovered 

the evidence and testimony needed to solve the case!

Evidence: hearts; paint; metal.

Testimony: journalling from two points of view.
