Chateau Eza

On 29th December, 2011 we made our way by bus from Vence (Southern France) to Eze via Nice.  Eze is a thousand-year-old Medieval village about 400 metres above the Mediterranean Sea.  Lunch time came and we decided to go to Chateau Eze which clings to the ancient rock walls of Eze. The restaurant is Michelen starred, the chef  was Axel Wagener from Holland, and they served melt-in-your-mouth fare.  It was a WOW experience, a highlight of our holiday and both my sister and I were in awe of the food and the view. For a tidy sum you can also stay at the Chateau, alas not for us as it was a day visit only.
For this layout I have used a sketch from 4 X 6 sketch blog.
Just two of the plates we had -this is the dessert I had - chef's speciality -  St Honore with Paris-Brest.
At the end of the meal the chef gave us this plate of magnificence - mini orange and almond cakes, 1/2 macaroon with citrus cream and mini florentines.
Here I am in the formal lounge, before you enter the restaurant - feeling like a million dollars!!!!!
Thank you for looking, and I hope that one day you get to experience this magnificent place.

January Cyberchallenge - punched flowers.

Image
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.

Time stands still

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.
