Cracker Barrel for lunch


Wow, I am on a roll this week!!!  I am submitting this layout for two challenges.
1. Scrapbook Challenges had a challenge inspired by the word -  "TODAY".  They had a sketch (329) back in January, that incorporated the strips down the left side, I filed that in my memory and thought one day I will do that - well that day has come.  The photos were taken at Cracker Barrel Restuarant, in Paducah, Kentucky.   I had been staying with Carol and David (on the left) down on their farm in Missouri, and they drove me over to Paducah, on 20th November, 2012, to spend time with Reta in Paducah. We all had lunch together before Carol and David returned to their home.
I found the antique type papers in my stash, and they fitted in with the decor that decorates the restuarant. The thin black strip is from Graphic 45 and it has the word "unique" and description of the word and Cracker Barrel is certainly unique.  It was in Cracker Barrel that I first ate southern food including catfish, grits, okra and cornbread!  I love to have a visit to at least one of their restuarants each time I go to USA.
2. I am also going to submit this to The Lollipop Ladies current challenge Mustache Lollipops - I know I have already linked one but when I finished this layout I realised I had used cola colours and also look at David's facial hair - perfect for the challenge. 
Thank you for looking, and have a great weekend.

Wow! Good for you finishing two pages so quickly. I thought I was going to get into scrapbooking when my oldest was born (7 years ago!) but it never happened. Thanks for playing with The Lollipop Ladies (again).

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.

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.
