Christmas Day Lunch 2011

There are many blogs that have Clean and Simple Cards but I have gone for a clean and simple scrapbook layout.
Last December, my sister (bottom left) and I were in Vence, Provence, France and we went for lunch at this restaurant, "Le Passe Muraille", in the old town on Christmas Day.
Lunch was in the 700 year old cellar of the restaurant, it had a very jazz feel to it. There was about 13 people in the restuarant and there was Christmas music playing in the background. People in France celebrate Christmas Eve and so the old town was very quiet.We had the set menu of 38 Euro each.

Menu de Jeuner de Noel
Champagne and blackcurrant liquer (Welcome) As a non drinker I had Diet Coke.
Small bread entrees - pate, cheese, bacon etc (See plate in the photos)
Scallops and seafood
2 Fish with rice and cauliflower
Goats cheese with salad
Meringues
Buche de Noel

I hope that you have enjoyed this layout as much as we enjoyed out meal, well with the exception of the goats cheese that was not to my liking.

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.
