Wise Words

Settle back this is a long post. Soul Scrappers have a song and lyric challenge this month.  Ends tomorrow so I have just made it in time.  The inspiration was Words by F.R. David, come on sing-a-long:
Words, don't come easy to me
How can I find a way to make you see I Love You
Words don't come easy.
The criteria You must use a word....OR a couple of words...OR a sentence OR even the song title on your page. My inspiration was the word "words.  Here is my layout:
These photo's were taken at Winston Churchill Museum in Fulton, Missouri. I have kept the layout clean and simple - as it is the words that I want people to read.  You can see that top right that I have made a flip out tag to record my journaling.  Now what are the words that are have been placed on the image of Winston Churchill in that photo?  A chance to know the man better.
Brain - Keen intelligence
Eyes - Far sighted vision
Ears - Hears different drummer
Nose - Nose for news
Mouth - Roar of a Lion
Shoulders - Bears heavy burdens
Heart - Heart of a Lion
Upper Arm - Humorous
Spleen - Vents vigorously
Stomach - Appetite for work
Liver - Long liver (90 years of age)
Hands - Grasps opportunities
Intestines - Lots of guts
Legs - Stands up to dictators
Knee - Never bent
Foot - Firmly planted
 

Now, I wanted to end this post with some photographs taken yesterday of Umina Beach during a rather bad storm that we had yesterday. 
 Wild weather has whipped up the waves, the beach is washing away.
 It was wet and windy as you can see - the sea was washing up foam and sand.
The storm clouds.  Even in storm this is still a beautiful beach and I hope that it somehow recovers all the sand that has been lost.
Thank you for staying with me in this post.   The sun has come out today - but more storms have been forecast for this evening.
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.
