Here is my LO for April 1 at Stuck Sketches. Sorry about the pic not being so great, the weather wasn't so good for taking pics today.
Scrapped some pics of Luke and Brittany. At 17 Luke's at that age where it's all just too embarrassing to have your photo taken.. as you can see by the look on his face.
Had a play with some Echo Park and Crate Papers as they mix really well together and also a piece of Bella Boulevard. Used Kraft for my background and splashed on some black paint to make the papers pop. I also inked my edges in black for a little definition and crumpled the background pp's.
Lovely Surprise!!
I received a wonderful surprise in the mail this week... it was a parcel from Colleen B. She visited here in Brisbane in the Christmas Holidays and I got to meet her and her lovely family when we caught up for a coffee. We had the most wonderful chat and it was so nice to meet IRL. As a thank you she sent me this gorgeous hand made card that has a little pocket on the inside and in the pocket was the cutest stamp that she had made for me to stamp on my hand made creations... such a fantastic idea!! Thanks so much Colleen, I was having a really awful day and receiving my little parcel in the mail added a bit of brightness to my day.
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love.. I really appreciate all your gorgeous comments :)
Wow Cathy! Lots of goodness in this post! I loved that sketch too and your take on it is ACE. Love how you used the black paint and the crumpled paper is rockin' the the MAX! When I was scrapping my BW2 layout I was thinking of you - thanks again so much for your parcel - really boosted my stash! I would of had very very little for that challenge if it weren't for you! Have a great rest-of-weekend! xo
