Challenge YOUrself

Found a challenge over at Challenge Yourself where the criteria was "Anything Goes" and had to include YOU that is ME in the layout. Also there was another "Anything Goes" challenge at 2 Creative Chicks and their criteria no cards (layouts, knitting, crocheting it seems anything goes is right - I may just finish my scarf I am knitting). Here is my layout:
I was inspired by a layout by Laura Vegas for Bella Bvld that I have used previously.  This time I used papers mainly from Fancy Pants Designs called Collecting Moments.  The are other papers and embellishments that I have included. I love the pockets that you can use for journaling or other memorabilia. It also allows you to use anywhere from 8 photos (if cropped to 2" x 2") or more if you put some in the pockets.  Here is a close up of the pockets:
The photographs were taken at a recent scrapbook retreat - friends Jane and Margaret B are in the centre photograph and the others show me scrapping away.
The layout is a little brighter in real life - not much sun shining when I took the photo.
Thanks 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.

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.
