Archi-scraps for July ...

Archi-scraps has a ART DECO theme as it's challenge this month.

The Art Deco period heavily featured black and gold and strong geometrical prints.  I have used a strip of transparency behind my photo and stamped onto my background paper to enhance the gold. A few strategically placed gold brads help to lift the page.  I inked my chipboard title in black.

I have also used a time period appropriate photo of my father and his sister on the family farm in the mid 1930's when children.

thanks for looking,

July What's in the bickie tin ...

Welcome to our July Challenge for What's in the bickie tin?

This month's requirements are:

Colours: Black & Blue
Add a string
Add a tag

This month I pulled out my 6x6 paper pads and selected papers from amongst these. I created my tags myself from smaller pieces and used back cardstock as my base.  

TIP

If you want your paper longer and you know some of it will be covered completely by photos or other patterned paper anyway, just cut it in half and move it down like I have done with my backing paper - it is 6x6 but cut and moved it creates the illusion it is a much larger piece.

Hope to see all your layouts in our gallery.  

Happy scrapping,

Jane
