January at Archiscraps

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

January 26th is Australia Day.
One of our DT has requested Australian buildings, so here is a famous one.
JANUARY's picture.
The extra criteria will be something musical. Either use sheet music or think up something else like a song title, musical notes etc.
This satisfies Jane's request to use local buildings and should be an easy one for most of you.

Perhaps you can let the curves of the Opera House inspire you.

Here are the DT's layouts.

Layout is titled, "Bravo!"
 

Our son and his best friend marching in the Memorial Day Parades.

The criteria is to use something musical.  The large pp circle has music notes on it, music notes ribbon, clear music notes stickers, glitter foam musical note and the musical instruments in the photo too.
I used blues and white as inspiration from the photo and I thought the banners mimiced the design also.  The smaller circles under the photo and the banners were embossed.  Glitter paper is DCWV.  Sketch is by Jana Eubank.

Sydney Opera House actually got me to thinking about our own white sails on a unique building where I live.  My daily drive past Brisbane Waters would not be the same without this sight.  I’ve paint stamped part of my white cardstock base and then added in strips of patterned paper (one of them music notes to fit the criteria) as well as using washi and string.

Here is my January LO based on our fabulous icon of the Sydney Opera House...an amazing building, and everyone seems to know where it is!


I have based my page on the sails & used a photo of my Pete on his windsurfer, ready for a speed sail on the beautiful water of the Clarence River at Yamba.

The Angel corner die reminds me of the opera house sails and the music is obvious albeit upside down.

No I haven't been into the champagne yet!,

Here is my layout for January. My niece loves music so I based the layout about her. I used the scallop edge of the doilley and punched the bottom of the layout to create the peaks like the Opera House.

My layout is about my son's ensemble competing in a competition. The background page is my nod to the Opera House with all the different angles shooting upwards, plus there are notes and piano keys on it. I have also added some music washi tape.

I was inspired by the colours of the photo. The blue of the ocean and the white of the Opera House.
