Stamps Ahead

Another page I created at the crop day I attended yesterday.  This time I used a sketch from The Memory Nest I used one of my favourite collection of papers from Stampin' Up! (r) called Maritime Designer Series paper - only little bits and pieces of it left now.  The photo was taken atop the Ferry as it cruised along the beautiful Hawkesbury River, near to where I live.  This cruise was one of my birthday gifts to my sister. Life is different on the river, it was a time to relax take in the view, have morning tea and a ploughman's lunch as we cruised up and down the river delivering mail to settlements and homes along the Hawkesbury. Here is the sketch: Thank you for looking, Margaret. p.s. Just found out that my layout of Aurora was a January winner over at The Memory Nest. Thank you so much. And to think I nearly threw out the background paper I created!!!

On 22nd June our Trafalgar group headed to Shediac Bay on Prince Edward Island for a cruise, explanation of how lobsters are farmed, and then lunch.   Now this was the first time I had ever eaten lobster..... Scrapbook Challenges Layout  417 was ideal for this series of photographs.  I loved the layout so I much that I did indeed make a double layout. This was a day full of smiling and laughter and every time I remember this day it brings a smile to my face.  I have used all Stampin' Up! (r) Maritime Designer Series Paper. I love how the colours just match the photographs. The following two photographs show the individuals layouts more closely - I think me eating lobster is all about my hands,my eyes and my expressions. Truth time, I did not like lobster!!!!   I know what the!!! At least I tried it!!!!

Another layout from a sketch (number 101) at   Feeling Sketchy that got my creative juices flowing. My photograph of the lighthouse was taken at Peggy's Cove in Halifax, Canada. I printed it 8" x 5". The Atlantic Ocean was very blue this day. I loved this place so much and I spent lots of time walking over the ice-age rocks called "erratics".  A lone piper stands to the bottom right and I can tell you his bagpipe playing just added to the awesomeness of this place. The layout uses Stampin' Up! (r) products - Maritime designer series paper, Essential Wooden elements and some retired black twine. Thank you for looking.  Margaret
