Cards for Humanity

 This is a layout I created today for a January challenge at Paper Issues (Friends and Fans) 

All this month the challenges are called after games that can be played.  This layout was for a challenge "Cards Against Humanity".  Here is the criteria -"It may be called a party game for horrible people, but you don't have to be horrible to play along with this challenge. We want you to create a layout using your Project Life or 3x4 cards anyway you like". 

Not a game I am ever likely to play, after reading Google accounts of it!    This turned my mind to making a Cards for Humanity layout.  I wanted it to be full of positive words and colourful. So into my huge stash (and I am sure I am not alone) of Project Life cards to find the word cards and several I could cut up for further embellishment.

The photo is one I took of my great nephew Oscar taken we we met up for Christmas in December, 2020. It is one of my favourites and not the least because he is wearing the tee-shirt I gave him! I love his smile here.

I have created a clean and simple layout stitching around the cards.

Currently I am playing around with upcycling more of the cards and I will post those shortly. 

Thank you for looking, why not head to Paper Issues (Friends and Fans) and play along with the fun challenges.

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.
