Stamps Ahead

This weekend I am participating in the June Cyber Challenges over at White with 1 Facebook page.  Here is my layout for a scavenger hunt, more about this below: The scavenger hunt - we were to search our stash and find the following: 12 x 12 patterned paper from a manufacturer of two words (eg Jillibean Soup). Manufacturers name to be shown.   Something you can use to get messy A journal card Something felt A tag A word in any form 1 piece of 6 x 6 paper Some bling. Here is what I sourced out of my stash: The hardest and longest to find was 'something felt' finally found those blue stars squashed into a corner.  In making the layout, I added other papers and stickers from the Echo Park Magical Adventure range.  Thank you for looking, I love Disneyland and my photos show what the daily line up for both parks looked like each day.  The last time I visited was in May, 2018.  Thank you for looking, Margaret Crafting in the time of Coronavirus.

There is currently a challenge over at Soul Scrappers to create a layout with the theme Travel. Here is what I came up with: One of my most favourite places to travel is to Disneyland/Disney themed parks.  This photo was taken at Disneyland in California, USA last year. In my last post I had photos of my experiments with my gel plate.  I used the pink/purple prints I made. The stamps, papers and chipboard are from Kasazz. The stencil was in my stash. I was inspired by a layout I saw on Pinterest to create the squares and place onto card stock. Of course, I cannot find the layout despite several hours once again searching for it and getting distracted by all the inspiration out there. I really like the finished layout and I hope you do as well. Thank you for looking, Margaret

Here is a layout I created today based on a challenge at Paper Issues . I came across this fabulous floor and sign as I entered one of the exhibitions at California Disney.  I love visiting Disneyland when I travel to USA (This was my third visit and the first to California Disney).  I have gone a little 'off piste' as they  say but I did not want to cut my photos down. I was inspired by the stars on the sketch and went with that them to fit in with my photo - some texture paste coloured with gold and applied through a star stencil, and then bits and pieces from my stash. The dark patterned paper whilst it does not have stars was a perfect match as the flowers looked like stars! Here is the sketch at was the inspiration for my layout: Why not head over to Paper Issues in the link above and join as they have great challenges every month.
