Calvinball 2019 Day 5

Here is my layout for Day 5:
The rules for Day 5:
  • Use a sketch.  I found a single layout I like at organized and creative mom. Thank you for your inspiration Noreen.   I have left thanks on your blog.
  •   This sketch was the inspiration.
  • Use the word 'happy'
  • Use washi tape (spot under the top border)
  • Use watercolour.  I have used a technique I recently used on cards - white embossed with Peony stamp, distress oxides applied and then watercoloured with waterbrush.   I was showing some friends my cards - and they loved the technique but how could we use it for scrapbooking - this is what I have come up with it.  That border was a perfect way to incorporate it!  I will show them this week.   I can see a workshop coming up!
  • Use the colour purple.  Sounded fair enough - complete layout and I will find photos this morning!   
  • Use a button
  • Use ribbon
From previous days rules and it is okay to use these while they are still current:
  • Heart
  • Bling
  • Something old from your stash.  That 'laugh' bling has been with me for years - it says 'Michaels' we do not have a Michaels here in Australia so I probably picked it up years ago on one of my visits to the US.  It has stared at me for years as I pass it sitting in a basket on my way into my lounge from the garage! 
What I have learned from this challenge:
  • I have no suitable photos in my considerable number of them for this layout!  I think a visit to a lavender farm is in order!  I am heading to Canberra, ACT shortly and google has told me there is a lavender farm not far from there - guess where I am heading!
  • I have more portrait orientation photos than landscape.  Message to self - take more landscape photos - that lavender farm is looking good!
The papers, happy die cut and Oxide Inks are available from Kaszazz everything else from my stash.
Thank you for looking, 
Margaret

Such a pretty layout and it sounds like you have wonderful plans for future pictures, have fun at the lavender farm. I enjoyed "hearing" your thought process while you are creating.
Happy Scrappin,

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.
