Oh
My Goodness….half a year already gone….where did that time go? Back to study
for me next week so not too much ‘extracurricular’ crafting for a while – that’s
the hard part BUT I'm excited because I'm helping to celebrate the 1st challenge
over at Sketchy Boards, I was privileged to be asked by Heidi to be a
guest designer for Sketchy
Boards challenges – they have monthly
challenges using a sketch and colour inspiration board or picture.
Here’s the beautiful mood picture and the sketch that Heidi sent me to work with…
I took my inspiration predominantly from the trees which symbolize life and longevity – definitely the case in my ancestry :) And the gorgeous ‘vintage’ brown and teal colours inspired me to choose this photo taken in the early 1920’s, of my paternal great-great-grandparents,
Last week, I was lucky enough to locate another one of my second cousins (in the U.K.) - who kindly sent me this photo and a few others that I haven’t seen before.
Kaiser flowers and collectables; Prima canvas flourish, resin birds and flowers; Paper Pizzaz, Sandylion & Adornit Coralees Creations alpha(burlap rust) stickers;
Scrapping Outback Lindy's Stamp Gang (LSG) mist (Steampunk Sepia) & Fabrico pen; Sepia ink; Helmar scrap dots & 450 quick dry adhesives; Crackle accents; Martha Stewart punch; the Trinket Track cork bird; lace; Words or Whatever (WOW) Altamatz.
Thanks for popping over today, special thanks to Heidi and the team for inviting me to be their guest – what an inspiring challenge J
