Stamps Ahead

I have just returned from a scrapbooking cruise, with Unmistakable Creations , leaving Sydney and arriving in Auckland 10 nights later.  Also, my sister and I spent 4 more days in Auckland before heading home.   One of the highlights of the cruise is making little 4" x 3" cards that are exchanged with others in our group.   Here are mine: I used glossy paper, Ranger Distress Inks, and Ranger Micro Glaze. See my earlier post on how I created the backgrounds - magic!  Stamps and stencil I have used are all available from Kaszazz.  Here are just a few of the 30 plus I created.  All different - amazing.  Close up of a couple Close up of a couple more. My sister also came on the cruise as part of the scrapbook group and here is the card she created.

Here is a layout I have completed for a sketch challenge over at Paper Issues (Friends and Fans) on facebook. Kaisercraft papers and embellishments.  Photos to be added later.

Well, here it is the first day of 2019 - Happy New Year to all.  Today was spent inside - too hot here to be out and about with another heatwave of a day. A perfect time to do some scrapbooking. Here is a layout I have created for a challenge over at ARTastic https://artasticchallengeblog.blogspot.com The challenge was to be inspired by this work of art by Chris Vella called Joy and the criteria was to use Yellow, Orange and Blue.                                            The colours automatically said "Sunset to me" so I decided to use this photo of sunset on Tuggerah Lake at Toukley, NSW I took in September 2018. I have used all products available from Kaszazz on this layout - yes, I am a consultant.  I hope you enjoyed seeing my first layout for 2019 with more to come throughout the year. Thank you for looking.   Margaret
