5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Challenge

The 3rd and final Easter challenge over at White with 1.  Here is my layout:

Why 280 Degrees West as the title?  Last night, I looked out my side door and saw the most beautiful colours - quickly got my camera and headed out to take some photos. I then moved to smaller garden area I have facing west - therefore 280 degrees west refers to the compass direction from which I took the photo. I also managed to photograph the flowers blooming on my Camellia tree.  I must say it was the first time I have used the compass on my phone - much easier than trying to read an old fashioned compass!  Now the challenge was to use:

  • 5 circles 
  • 4 stars
  • 3 word title
  • 2 patterned papers
  • 1 photo
To be honest this challenge took a little longer than the others as I searched my stash for just the right embellishments to use.
Here is another photo from the sunset last night taken from the other garden area I have.
"Sunsets are not only beautiful, but they also have so much meaning.  They signify endings, change and transformation; they remind us that change is a part of life and everything has an ending".

"The sunset tells us that the day is almost over. It reminds us of the importance of time and how we should make good use of it.  It's also a time for reflection.  As your day comes to a close, ask yourself whether you've done everything you set out to do or been the person you desire to be".

Both these quotes come from the internet - their words are so true. 

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.
