More scrapping being done.

Yesterday, I attended an all day crop day at Shop and Crop, Warner's Bay on the beautiful Lake Macquarie.  Here are just some of the pages I created.
This was a sketch challenge that Kylie set.  My photos were taken at Mirror Lake, in the Blanchard Caverns and Springs area of Arkansas, USA.  Here are my friends David and Carol looking at the lake - yes it was just as green and beautiful as in the pictures.  What you cannot see in this small picture here, is that there are people fishing along the side of the lake.  This is not colours I would normally use so it was good to get out of my comfort zone - colour wise.
These photos were taken along the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Nova Scotia, Canada where the trail runs along side the Atlantic Ocean.  The pebbles/rocks?  That is the what you walk on - so different to the sand here in Australia. 
On the last day of my Trafalgar Tour, Enchanting Maritimes tour we stopped at Kennebunkport, Maine, USA for lunch and a wander through this quaint little town.  It was somewhat little known until George Bush Snr was made President, he lives here, see photo far left, that is his home and it is said it gave his security detail some headaches due to its location.

Close up of right page - it is true there is something good in every day.  Yesterday spending time with my sister at the crop and today well a good rest is in order and a bright sunny day to wash the sheets!!!  Enjoy your day and find something good about it.
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.
