Dinner with friends in USA

Nearly 12 months ago I travelled to USA and I spent part of my time there with good friends "The Baxes".  Here we are at Cracker Barrel waiting for our dinner to arrive

The layout was completed for an optional early bird challenge prior to Hillbilly Shenanigans- The Great Papercraft Caper - Virtual Retreat later this month.  Admission to retreat is now finished however they are having another Mixed Media virtual retreat later this year. This challenge required us to use this sketch to complete a layout and we were free to interpret it however we liked - flip it, rotate it, or take just a few elements that inspired!
I used Celeb8 Bon Appetite paper and embellishments (except for background red and the larger polka dot papers) from my stash. From memory I have these papers, at least, since 2020!

As I am participating in Calvinball 2025 I have also added this layout to Scrap Happy.  Check out Calvinball - a fun papercraft event happening this March - just click on the link to find out all about it.

Thank you for looking, Margaret

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...

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.
