Watch me go around and around

Here is a layout I completed today for the Take 3 challenge over at Soul Scrappers.  I have just made it the challenge finishes today.

The choice to pick 3 from were - Sun Rays; Washi Tape; One photo; Scattered flowers; Stars; Commercial die cut title;  Watercolour on background or Handwritten journaling.  I went with Washi Tape on 3 sides of my Star patterned paper, More stars, Commercial die cut - Treasured Moments Together and Handwritten journaling.

The photos of Oscar, my great nephew were taken in December 2020 at a family Christmas/birthday picnic in Wollongong, NSW.  My sister (and I) took him to the park.  He loved all the rides -even this one!

I came across the Robert Baden-Powell (founder of the world-wide Scout Movement) die cut quote in may stash and whilst it may not be the most appropriate in this day and age, it was appropriate for this layout.  Oscar saying FASTER, FASTER, FASTER whilst his great aunts are like NOT TO FAST, HANG ON, DON'T STAND UP!!!  We needed to see it from his point of view - it was fun, it was exciting, he was enjoying himself and what more could we ask for.

I found the star paper whilst doing some stash busting and looking at papers to donate to a local op shop. The paper shows (c)2011 Authentique Paper, LLC "True Paper".  Appropriate to use for this challenge.

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.
