Time to catch up

It has been a while since I updated.  Computer problems requiring a hard drive and ram replaced, virus check (just don't ask how many viruses were found!) and added to that a problem getting the replacement parts from supplier has meant I have been without PC access for awhile. Enough of that.
This is fun layout - I don't usually use pinks (and that is strange given that it is one of my favourite colours). The banner was made for me by the youngest of the cuties here - the photos where taken on Thanksgiving Day in USA last year.  We even made up a song "We're going on the smile train, the smile train...."
Another layout for Thanksgiving - this one is of my friend, Reta and one of her sons and his family. It is a fun photo.  I completed a challenge over at Scrapbook Challenges to use something other than paper, I went with ribbon scraps, rubons and colourful brads.
The photograph below was taken from Ibis Hotel, Darling Harbour, Sydney on evening of 25th January. Love my city of Sydney.
Until next I catch up, thank you for looking. Margaret

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.
