The Great Outdoors challenge

I have participated in a Great Outdoors challenge over at Soul Scrappers, we were sent an envelope of assorted bibs and bobs and had to create a layout with them.  Firstly, here is my layout:
Now a photo of what I was sent. I was to try and use as many items on my creation as I could, and could change the items by painting, embossing, colouring in etc.  The burlap (called hessian in Australia) banner had to be decorated.  Well, I managed to use everything in my envelope.  Yes, there was some colouring with ink to tone down the images to fit with the overall colour scheme - particularly the owl and the leaves.  I removed the backing from the banner so that I could distress the edge and I also distressed the edges of the fabric I received.  
In my stash I just happened to have some left over papers from the Kaisercraft range Outdoor Trail collection that fitted in perfectly for this challenge.
The photo was taken in April, 2018 when my sister and I visited New Zealand - Haruru Falls Scenic Walk - I did a very short section of the walk.  
Thank you 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.

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.
