Stamps Ahead

 This is a layout I created for a challenge over at The Hut Creative  - the challenge Autumn. 20/3/26 Autumn evening in Longreach, Qld. Journalling is on the tag in the middle popping out of the bottom 2 photos. Rosebank homestead was a detour as planned Thompson River sunset cruise did not happen due to flood.   Beautiful views of sunset.  I used paper from Penelope Dee Sienna collection.

Here is a layout I created for a challenge at The Hut Creative.  Challenge was to use envelope/s and some script on layout. This layout, of me at the Jane Austen Museum in Bath UK last year, using papers that I have cut down from larger sheets.  I have also included some very old clear stickers, tape I made, rhinestones and fussy cut butterflies.   I am old enough to remember using pen and ink in Primary School, long before we were introduced to that new invention - the biro.  To this day, I still have a bump on my middle right finger from using the pen!!  This was the first thing I thought off when visitors could sit down at desk and write some Jane Austen quotes or memories of the day.

Sharing two layouts I have done recently.  Autumn layout for a new, to me, challenge group on Facebook  The Hut Creative  (Autumn layout) and the other another layout from the recent Scrapbook Fantasies Virtual Retreat.  For this layout, I created leaves using several types of paper and then die cut them using Sizzix die Leaf Fragments, and arranged them around my photo taken in Taralga, NSW during Autumn this year.  The background cardstock is from 3Quarter Designs Mocha Fix Collection. For colouring the leaves I used watercolour powders from Lucys and Colour Crush.  With the leaves I did not use I created tags and clusters to use on later projects. This layout was designed by mother and daughter - Alicia and Naomi-Jon Renshaw - of Scrapbook Fantasies.  I have used more of the beautiful papers in their Very Vintage Range.       Thank you for looking, Margaret
