LOAD Challenge

LOAD Challenge has a facebook page that I came across where we are challenged to do a LOAD monthly challenge... LayOut A Day... not to hard... cards, layouts.. let's get them done!!!
Christmas and New Year - check
Sister out of hospital and rehab. hospital - check
Scrapbook layouts started again - check
Pages for SCKC (Southern Cross Kids Camps) started - check
My sister arrived home from hospital and subsequent rehab hospital on 21st December, Christmas this year was at her place. 
This pages shows the swimming noodles I have her and my sister-in-law who kindly bought and made lunch for us.  The swimming noodles!!!  Well my sister and I have started swimming each day in a local heated pool.  Good for her and good for me.
Showing the double page layout.   Now the Christmas title looks a little tilted - no alcohol was involved (I don't alcohol - except alcohol markers!!!!) just my bad.......... I used glue to adhere an by the time I realized it was too late.........
My birthday in December occurred whilst Heather was in rehab hospital.  So she organised for a Ginny (bottom left) to buy and bring a cake and for Claire (sitting with me) and another patient Cheryl (top left) to join us for morning tea in her room.  Heather (top right) is showing an antique bauble that Ginny bought her on her recent trip to England.   The tag was made by Claire and I have used it to journal on and if you lift it up the journalling is continued underneath.  
I have started making pages for SCKC (Southern Cross Kids Camps) and so far I have made 12 packs of 20 pages each.  I love doing these and helping to make camp a great place for the kids to remember in years to come.
One last photograph - fireworks at Gosford, NSW taken from a friends place at Tascott on New Years Eve.   More pages to come for sure, if I am to keep up with the challenge.
Cheers to all and every good wish for the year ahead.  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.
