Life is simple - just add water!

Back again with another challenge over at Soul Scrappers.  Tic Tac Toe (TTT5) board:
My first thought was what is a 'staycation'? staycationsteɪˈkeɪʃ(ə) n/noun
informal
noun: staycation; plural noun: staycations; noun: stay-cation; plural noun: stay-cations
a holiday spent in one's home country rather than abroad, or one spent at home and involving day trips to local attractions. 
Here is my layout - I went with the middle line vertically to record a staycation my sister and I took in October, 2014 to Coffs Harbour, NSW. I have done it as a project life type layout. I have taken out of the plastic so that it is easier to see.
Stamp/s - 2 new sets from Inspired by Stamping (I found them on the internet whilst blog surfing - so pleased I did) Seaside and Seaside Sentiments.  The shells from Stampin' Up! By the Seashore.
Tag - lift up the lighthouse and my journaling is on the back.
Blue - stamping ink as well as in that fabulous sentiment below.
Close up of shells, lighthouse stamp and sentiment.

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.
