International Scrapbook Day - Layout 2


Layout I completed for challenge at Cocoa Vanilla Studio International Scrapbook Day 2020 Celebration.  The challenge was to be inspired by a layout by one of their design team.
I was inspired by a layout by Anna Komenda from 28th January, 2020.  Thank you Anna.
For sometime I have wanted to do a circle type layout, a few times I have got my bits and pieces out to make a layout - in fact the white cardstock (CS) I used in my layout was creased as it was in the bag with the said bits and pieces.  I got my iron out and gave it a good iron to get it straight!!  Is that dedication to a task?
My first thought was to use some blue Nuova mousse that I have....whoops go get it, open and it is so hard not even water will get this baby going again - ever!  Look at the knife (well, actually scissor edge) it will not penetrate that surface.  
So off I went to get my paints and paint a somewhat round circle and spread some drops over my CS.
The paper I used to fussy cut the flowers and the embellishments are from Kaisercraft Wandering Ivy collection.   Other embellishments came from my stash.
The photograph was taken in 2011 when I visited the Grand Canyon, USA.  My journalling is on a tag, under the photo, where it shows "love this".
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.
