Lollipop Ladies - Challenge 73 - Guest Designer

I was awarded a guest designer spot for The Lollipop Ladies Challenge 73 - star lollies with the additional challenge of sparkle.  See photo at end of this post.
I was inspired by the randomness of the stars and the colour.  I immediately thought of the photographs I took when my nephew and I went into Sydney to see Vivid Sydney - an impressive light show in May this year.   
Double page layout

I created my own background with punched out stars, the sparkly stickers for the date title and randomly placed coloured rhinestones for even more sparkle. More detail of the pages and inspiration photo follow.

Thank you for looking and have a "sparkle" week everyone.

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.

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.
