Using up Alpha Stickers

A current challenge at Soul Scrappers is to: "challenge for you this month is to find a few of those half empty sheets (of alphas) and figure out a creative way to use them on a layout, 2 cards or an off the page project.".
My alphas are not stored neatly - they are all over the place, in plastic boxes, cardboard boxes, even in suitcases - don't ask.  One of these days I will get them organized.
So as I was looking for half used alphas, I also found half used vellum stickers and even a fabric sticker - so I decided my layout would include all the stickers. 
The photos of my sister and I were taken at Coffs Harbour (on northern coast of NSW) last year.  
Please excuse the more quality of the photo of the layout - I recently had a fall - camera in hand - and the digital screen cracked and the camera is currently at the camera doctor for a quote to be fixed.  So mobile (cell) phone to the rescue.
Thanks 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.

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.
