Captured memories at long last

Another layout- double this time.  The objective was to finish a layout that was started before 1st March, this year.

This is the story of two parts.  Firstly, the layout was started in February 2020 in a workshop with Jenny Hislop at Scrapbookers Confetti Box in Swansea NSW.  It was not completed so I set about finishing it today.  It is an interactive layout with many flips. 
Secondly, about the photos.  In November and December, 1990 I spent time in the United Kingdom and a 35-day tour of Europe. On returning home I placed all the photos into an old-style photo album and overtime they faded and some even became unable to be seen properly.  So, a couple of years ago I removed them from the album with the idea that I would put them into a scrapbook - but like so many ideas it went on the back burner.    The left-hand layout I put United Kingdom photos in and on the right photos from Europe trip.  Of course, I had quite a few left over, and they will be placed in a pocket that I will add to back of layout. Papers are from Celebrate Captured Memories collection and some bits and pieces from my stash. A few of the flip outs follow:

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...
