Holiday memories.

I just realised that this is my 500th post to this blog.   I hope you have enjoyed my papercrafting journey so far and will stay with me for the next 500.  Thank you, Margaret
This layout was inspired by one I saw in a magazine - my apologies I seem to have lost the article, but if you are reading this and you are the creator of the original layout - thank you.  
I am near to finishing my photos from my holiday to USA and Canada last year.  These photos are of some of the people that were my travel companions on Trafalgar Tour - Enchanting Maritimes. The coach was full of people from USA, Canada and Australia.  
The following photos were taken on a recent trip up to The Blue Mountains of NSW that I did with my fellow book club ladies - please enjoy looking at them.
Where we stayed there was a cubby house down the back and this was on the door.  Cute.
Fairytale fungi.  I was fun to watch this change each day.  It looks beautiful here but by day 3 it had turned into a larger flat top of orange.
At Hargrave Lookout.  Now just about 6 steps in front of me (not towards the cliff) I fell down and bruised my knee and broke my camera display screen.  It still works (well both of them really) and I need to get the camera to a camera doctor asap!
A beautiful spot to have lunch, down in The Megalong Valley.  A beautiful autumn (fall) day.
So Australian, gum trees down at Megalong Valley.  
The home we stayed in was built in 1909 and since renovated I would say many times.  A recent addition was a new floor on front verandah and there must have been a railing at some time, as this photo shows the many years of painting.  Love the texture of this.
Thanks for looking.   Have a great day.   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.
