Retro TV Challenge - I dream of Jeannie

Week 6 over at Mystical Scrapbooks and the challenge is the TV show I dream of Jeannie here is my layout

Here is the inspiration screen
The criteria Pink and White; Tassel, Stencil and from kit - bling.
Early this morning I was watching Queens Jubilee concert and was impressed by Jason Donovan singing his iconic "Any dream will do".  And then, I see that this weeks challenge included the word Dream.  The photo is of me at 11 months of age.   I used my stencil with white texture paste, added some white acrylic butterflies, tassel I made with lace and silk ribbon.  The bling from the kit I placed bottom right above those wonderful words.  Yesterday, as I was looking through my stash, I came across the Kaisercraft word "cute" and I immediately put it into the bag for the local op shop thinking I will never use that!  Well, of course it was right for this layout!  I used the only white alphas I could find.  Paper is from Kaisercraft Sage & Grace collection it has a light green tint that worked better with the black and white photo than just plain white..  Other bits and pieces from my stash.
Here is a close up of the stencilling.
It was important to me that I did not adhere the photo down on all edges, as on the back is my mother's writing and I wanted to preserve this. You can see that the fold, which I did not make, that was already on the photo made this easy.  A little tab invites the viewer to lift.

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.
