Stamps Ahead

Here is a layout I have completed for White with 1 challenges . The March challenge was to use white with green and twine. In May 2024, I spent time with my friends in Doniphan, Missouri.  Their property is largely self-sufficient, they grow vegetables, mushrooms and more and they have a pig that is raised for meat - this day the time had come to load the pig onto truck for its journey to where it was to be butchered for its meat.  Well, did we have fun that day - the men took charge of transport from pen to truck - requiring many changes of plan of attack. The ladies well we took photos and provided encouragement and laughs along the way. Thank you looking, Margaret

I wanted to share with you something I have been working on. One of the artists I follow on-line recently had a quote "Your art does not need a purpose." I loved that saying so decided to finish this portrait style accordion journal that I started at beginning of the year and then put aside as I was stuck by my inner artist and began to doubt where I was going with it. This little journal started out as 3 pieces - I decided to join together. Lots of bits and pieces that were laying on my table with mark making, rustic stitching and more. Unfortunately, the white paint pen I used on the black ink shapes did not come out in the photography - trust me there is doodling there! Thank you looking, Margaret

Completed for a challenge over at Soul Scrappers Challenges . The challenge is 'From Screen 2 Scrap".  Here is the inspiration:  The challenge - we are going BOLD and use BOLD patterned paper, BOLD title and two photos that dominate. I used my old Stampin' Up! large letter dies and Vicki Boutin Sweet Rush papers/photo embellishment - the BOLD curves called to mind Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House both visible in the photos of my great nephew and I on the rooftop atop The Rocks Sydney Youth Hostel in December, 2025. Looking for inspiration for your photos to put on layouts why not check out Soul Scrappers Challenges with the link above. Thank you for looking, Margaret
