Epcot Disney World May 2024

This is a layout I have created for this months White with 1 challenges - Burgundy with Flowers

Other layout from my visit to Epcot, Walt Disney Resort, Orlanda, Florida USA on 22nd May, 2024 with my friend Kathy, who lives close to the resort and visits often.  This beautiful display of living flowers, leaves and cacti really caught my eye.  It was part of EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival Topiaries - every Disney character and one-off displays, like this one, were throughout the Resort.  

For my layout I have used a very old Kaisercraft collection called Treasured Moments - one of my favourites and I will be sorry when I have used it up.  Flowers are a mixture of embellishments from the collection plus fussy cutting from some of the pages.  I did use Aged Mahagony Oxide ink for the scattered dots using another favourite stamp set. 

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...

The case

Here is my layout for a challenge over at Pixels and Paper challenge blog: The challenge was to be inspired by the following photo and the criteria was Vintage Style.  Of course I was inspired by the suitcase in the inspiration image. About my photos - several years ago my Uncle George (Dad's brother) passed away and his wife gave us this suitcase full of photographs and memories.  Well, what a find it turned out to be.  My Dad was still alive at this time and he could identify some of the photographs inside.  I have subsequently made several layouts showcasing some of the photos - more still to be done.   It was an eye-opener to my maternal Grandmother's side of the family.  My father's parents were travelers (is this where I got my travel spirit from?) they would travel by coach, train and car to places within Australia and kept notes, postcards, photos and brochures etc from their trips.  It is family folklore that t...

Make Amazing Happen

Image
I have decided to play along with a challenge over at Pixels and Paper challenge blog  - here is my layout.  The challenge was to use distressing in some form on your layout. On the recent long weekend I travelled up to Brisbane to Scrapbook and Paper Expo and one of the classes I did with Beck Beattie was playing with all different backgrounds using watercolour paints. This background was made by sweeping 3 colours from a palette of watercolour paints across the white background. See photo below for what I mean by a palette.  I think I got these many years ago in America and have never used them.....until today. The photo is of Beck Beattie and I taken on the weekend. I then coloured some whitecard stock with the colours I used for background and a green to make the flowers and leaves and to embellish the title "Make Amazing Happen".  I used my scissors to distress the edges, then scrunched them up, then sprayed with water and allowed to dry. Some rand...
