Scrap Girls Retreat at home - Challenge 3

Challenge 3 was to take this mood board and inspire you to make a layout:
"It's time for CHALLENGE THREE! Here's a pretty pastel mood board to inspire you. You have until midnight Friday 10 April to upload your layout in the comments below. At Scrap Girls Retreats we don't judge you. Every entry for Challenge 3 will go into the draw for a Happy Scrap girls prize!"
And here is my layout:
As a family we would regularly holiday at The Entrance on the Central Coast of New South Wales. This photo shows from left, my mother, sister, me, and my brother at the swimming pool at The Entrance.  The back of the photo has identification of the photographer/photograph number so I can only think that in the 50's they took photos of people enjoying the sun.  I tried to google the photographer but alas nothing there.   My sister and I still talk about those swimsuits - they were shirred with elastic and I tried to replicate that with the sewn down pink washi tape on my layout.
I made the mini pinwheels from 1.5" squares.  I am trying to save a number of old photos from old albums hence the black and white photo..
And some of the detail:
I like a challenge that gets me out of my comfort zone - I don't usually use pastel colours.

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.
