Stamps Ahead

I found ScrapHappy website and each March they have a Calvinball challenge all month. So, I signed up and I have completed this layout for Day 3.  You can accumulate points during the challenges. Check out the link above for more information and also how the name Calvinball came about. You create your layout and if you want to you can add the additional bonus point items for that day.  Day 3 these were: Use wood veneer. I used a Heidi Swapp "Enjoy the view" that I purchased from USA, reduced of course to $1.49 US, last year. Use a stencil. Tim Holtz stencil and texture paste. Create your own patterned paper. I used Distress Oxides and sprayed with water and let it run.  I will admit to an ooops moment, placed next to my water mister was stamp cleaner bottle....I accidently sprayed that on second spraying, no worries let it stay did the same! Use your own handwriting/or a handwriting font. Bottom left corner I have recorded the date my sister and I went up the Sky...

Here is a layout I have completed for a sketch challenge at Soul Scrappers .   Here is the inspiration sketch. My photo is of The Radiance of the Sea docked in Auckland.  After the completion of my cruise in January that ended in Auckland I met my sister and in the afternoon we took a ferry ride across the water.  Looking back I saw the ship in dock. Now, a funny story (well funny to me).  I got off the ship at approx. 8am and I was heading towards the hotel my sister was staying at to join her for a week long adventure to Bay of Islands.  I arrived to take a taxi to the hotel - the taxi driver informs me "it is just over there - you could walk", so off I trotted with my bags laughing all the way.   Thank you for looking, I am off today onto the water - a ferry ride locally - not quite a cruise but on the water nevertheless!
