December got so full of - Christmas stuff, I didn't manage to keep up with Something Completely Different :-( I missed it! So it's good to be back! The first month's theme is Gothic Arches, and week 1 is New Year. Here's mine:
I cut a gatefold card into an arch shape and added clockface patterned paper to the doors and inside. The outside represents the old year:
Inked, crumpled and distressed paper, and 'out with the old' stamped in an antique-y font (I stamped onto scrap paper first so the ink was faded too).
The inside is the new year:
Clean lines, no inking or distressing, and a more modern font :-)
A simple start to get me back into the challenges, but it's fun to be creating again - I miss the regular crafting of a daily journal already... Must scrap a layout or two!
