Calvinball 2025

 Time again to participate in Calvinball 2025.  Here is the test layout I uploaded

What is Calvinball?  In short, Calvinball is a scrapbooking game/challenge based off the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip.  Calvin and Hobbes invent Calvinball where the rules change constantly.  That concept was taken and turned into a scrapbooking challenge many years ago. 

It is fun, you get points or you can just participate.  This layout I have entered as a test layout - to check that system works!  I received points for this, as well as posting on socials, using stars (1 point regardless of number of stars on layout) and using green.  Other Day 1 points could have been - if I had used journalling of 100 words plus or using an avocado.  Each day other items are added (or taken away).  Other papercraft projects are permitted as well.   Check out Scrap Happy for more information. http://scraphappy.org/calvinball

I have also completed another layout -both layouts use bits and pieces left over from 49 & Market Christmas Spectacular that was one of the collections used on the recent cruise - more on that later.  This layout was designed by Jenny Curthoys. 

Thank you for looking, Margaret

January Cyberchallenge - punched flowers.

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.

Ocean Beach - Summer 2016 - Shell in your pocket

Image
This past week I went down to 'my' beaches - Ocean Beach to Umina Beach taking my Samsung Tablet with me as I wanted to take a panorama shot.  This is the view I have after I have walked just 100 steps from my front gate and up and over a small sand dune - I never tire of this view. I have completed this layout for a challenge over at ARTastic Challenge Blog .  The challenge was to be inspired by the following artwork  -Bondi Scene by Isabelle May Tweddle. The criteria was Summer. Some particulars - I have raised the main photo with foam tape - both the photo and the corrugated blue mount. In real life it gives the impression of raising above the sand image on the patterned paper. I have used paper, stickers and die cuts from Kaisercraft Sandy Toes collection and scattered hessian twine, pearls and sparkles randomly. I love both the quotes - so I used both - I hope not too much.  At the bottom (for photographic purposes only) you...
