Sunset Beauty

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

Oh Margaret that sunset is just stunning.
It is perfect for your layout and our challenge. The orange stencilling and the dark film strip works so well with your photo.
Thank you for joining us at ARTastic this month. Hope you can find some time to join us next month too x

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.
