A vintage moment

No, not a senior's moment! I have been reading a book, by Alison Houtte & Melissa Houtte, called "Alligators, Old Mink & New Money" about one woman's adventures in Vintage Clothing. And this started my creative juices flowing - why not make a vintage style card. This is the result. I love old lace and have a large collection that I just cannot part with and I have used some on this card.
An update from Stampin' Up! (r), as at Friday they had so far donated $15,744.85 from the sale of stamp sets mentioned in an earlier post. And the special offer is still current so there is still time to buy and remember SU is donating 50% of the sale of the sets to the Australian Red Cross Bush Fire Appeal.

January Cyberchallenge - punched flowers.

Images:(c)1990-2010 Stampin'Up(r) Artwork:Margaret L Crawford Our INKlings cyberchallenges have began for 2010. Tonight our leader, Jayne is setting the challenges. Our first challenge is to use SU punches to make a paper flower and use it on a card, scrapbook page or 3D item. I have used the round scallop punch (each flower has 3 punched scallops), cut a small way into each scallop and then pushed back to create a 3-D effect then I added a rhinestone brad to the centre of each flower. I used my markers to colour the leaves and then spritzed with water before adding to card. Challenge 1 completed.

Here is another layout I have created recently.  I have decided to post it for a challenge at ARTastic - I hope they allow more than one entry as I have already done one layout for their May challenge - Scrap the Girls. This photo was taken when I met up with friends that I attended TAFE with many years ago.  We completed the Advanced Needlecraft Certificate at Hornsby TAFE and became firm friends during this time.   But as life goes on we lost contact - until Facebook got us back together 20 years later!..  They caught the train up and we had lunch and much catch up at my home before a walk on the beach.   Again here is the inspiration photo at ARTastic, the criteria Girls Only. I was further inspired by a layout by Emily Pitt found on   Debbie Hodge  from 2013 that I found whilst blog surfing. Thank you Debbie I have left some thanks for you on your blog. Thank you for looking, Margaret.
