Keep calm and craft - Day 1

Just 4 weeks ago I was in Coffs Harbour area. I picked this book up, put it down, picked it up again where it was for sale in a Moonee Beach newsagency. I purchased it and packing up the suitcase I took today I found it - did I know something was on the horizon? So determined to start today. Lots of crafty experiences to come my way via this book - looking ahead at some make a collage out of fabric scraps, make a composition using washi tape, write poetry, and Day 2 make a stamp. Off to find a postcard from my stash!.

Follow along with me as I try one day at a time - warning I may skip those that don't inspire me on that day and find one in the book that will !!!

Today, I day to remember. Not just that our dad would have been 100 today but also the postcard tells about my workmates journey around London - the museums, galleries etc.  They will still be there when all this is over.  I did not stick the postcard down rather put it into a clear envelope so those words are still there.
Thank you 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.

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.
