Once a upon a time in Hollywood

 A layout I completed for cyber challenge No 3 at ARTastic Challenges blog 

The challenge was to be inspired by the names of the main streets of Hollywood - the ones we associate with all the glitz and glamour - Rodeo Drive, Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street.

I have been to Hollywood many times (sorry, not bragging many of the organised tours I have done in USA end up in Los Angeles (LA) and a stop at Hollywood is included, on this occasion in May 2018 I was staying in Los Angeles before flying to Detroit and then onto Missouri.   As I had visited the main sights I decided that before I left home I would investigate if any scrapbook stores were in the Hollywood area.   Well, I found Once upon a page in Burbank, so off I set.   I left my hotel in LA by bus to travel to Hollywood and Vine to catch three (3) yes 3 buses to my destination in Burbank.  

On my layout I have noted what I wrote in my travel diary that day.  I did check as I completed this layout and the store is no longer open - not a surprise really as it was quite full of old stock and did not appear to be very active in 2018.

I do like to check and see if any scrapbook stores are in any of the locations that I travel and I have found it is a great way to visit areas that would not be on the usual tourist sites.

This is a clean and simple layout as I wanted the story to be the 'star'.  

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.
