Challenges continued

I have finished the final two challenges at White with 1 plus their monthly challenge as well.  It is cold and wet here on The Central Coast so a perfect day to scrapbook 'some' of my holiday photos.

Challenge 3 - We all have them in our stash - long saved collections from manufacturers no long around. Stop hoarding and get creating - we want to see these lovelies in your albums not still in your stash. I used Kaszazz - one of their last collections Beachy Boho!  Photo was taken on my last day in Florida when with my friends we visited Cocoa Beach and had lunch on the pier.  This is a companion piece to my layout in monthly White with 1 challenge. My colour was ice/sky blue (I hope you can see the stencilling behind the photo etc) and I used yellow as an accent.  

Challenge 4 - was to use metal, metal and a bit more metal. Yep, brads, paper clips, eyelets, charms, vintage essentials, clocks, tags and mechanicals - it it's made of metal we want to see lots of them on your page. I did not go down the 'more' route as I wanted my layout to be clean and simple.
My friend's granddaughter, Josie, was born in Columbia USA on 29th April and I was in the USA at this time so was able to share in their joy of the birth of Josie.  Josie also has a brother, Bo and I was able to see him later in time in USA.  We travelled up to see her in the NICU (neo natal intensive care unit) on 2nd May and I was not family I was not able to enter NICU - so I asked if they would take a photo with the Dachshund rattle I bought here in Australia (Dachshunds are special to their family).
Who remembers the bottle cap embellishments? Found some and added Kaisercraft curios, from my stash, to the centre.
The monthly challenge was to use Ice Blue as the main colour for the layout.  On my last day in Florida my friends and I visited Cocoa Beach - look I found Australia on the sign post.  We had lunch on the pier and then a short walk on the beach (it was a hot, hot day)

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.
