Pixels and Paper Challenge blog

A new blog that is a sister blog to ARTastic Challenges is Pixels and Paper Challenge and the current inspiration photo is below, it has no set criteria and you can interpret the photo anyway:

JULY inspiration
Just after Easter this year I spent several days relaxing at caravan park in Macksville that was alongside the beautiful Nambucca River.(oops just realised I put wrong river name on my tag - got to fix that asap).  The little boy in the photo (whose name I do not remember) was staying there with his family  and he took the opportunity to go fishing on the jetty provided by the caravan park.  I wandered down there and he said look so relaxed and enjoying his fishing and he said to me "you can take my photo if you like". His parents later confirmed to me that it was okay to take his photo. The photo reminds me of when I was young and as a family we spent a lot of time fishing -  in boats, on jetty or on the sand. I still love fishing and just this last week renewed my fishing license for another 3 years.

Hi Margaret. I love the tranquil feel you have brought to your layout. Great photos,and the colours you have used go so well together. Macksville is a very pretty spot and I trust you enjoyed your holiday. Happy fishing. Thank you for joining in our first challenge. Cheers, Di

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.
