Blind Scrap

What is a blind scrap?  Well,  you are given a list of things needed to complete a layout and then instructions to complete your layout. This weekend Scrap Girls Retreats  hosted one that you could do at home.  
 The list of things/instructions needed was -
  • 1 12" x 12" cardstock as your base
  • 1 12" x 12" patterned paper (cut about 1/2' off and then cut into 2/34" strips)
  • 1 9" x 4" patterned paper
  • 3 buttons (tied, of course)
  • 1 large die-cut or flowers
  • 1 piece of lace or similar
  • 1 strip for journaling
  • alphas for title
  • sequins for sparkle
  • 2 x small doilies or similar
Breaking of rules is okay...........I deviated by not using lace and using ric-rac and twine (lace would just not be appropriate for this layout) no flowers and no doilies but I did use die-cuts. 
The paper and die-cuts are from Kaisercraft Sandy Toes range. 
The photos of my sister were taken at Red Rock, NSW when we visited there in late September/early October this year.  They were taken not long after we arrived (in our winter clothes as it was cold in Sydney when we left) and we headed straight for the beach for a walk to get the sea air into our lungs.  We had both been sick prior to arriving - my sister for over 15 weeks, so a walk on the beach was just what was ordered.
Thank you for looking, enjoy your day.   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.
