OUAS - May Challenge

Hi Girls,

I'm back from my Scrap Retreat, but have been a little under the weather since I got home, must be the change in the weather.  I didn't get as much done at the Retreat as I would have hoped, but I did catch up on some DT and scrap commitments.  I think I needed a little break, and it was so lovely to just catch up with the girls, have a chat and a lot of laughs.  I love seeing all the girls' beautiful work IRL, picking up tips and learning new techniques.  Krissy held a mixed media class, which was fantastic.. now all I need is some time to have a play!!  I will show you a few LO's and my canvas soon.

This LO for the Once Upon a Sketch Challenge this month was one which I started at the Retreat and finished at home.  The theme for the challenge was: MUM and you also had to use the accompanying sketch and add some journaling.

Mother

I have had this old photo of me and my mother for a while, but it needed quite a bit on altering in photoshop to get it to look halfway decent, but I was determined as this photo is very precious to me.   I hardly have any of me as a young girl and being with my mother, makes it even more special.  The photo was taken as my mother and I were coming off the boat into Australia having traveled from France and I must be around 3 years old.

Layered some Prima stash and Kaisercraft pp's with some Scrapmatts chipboard, and pretty much kept to the sketch.

List of Materials:  Prima, Kaisercraft, Bo Bunn, TPC pp's, Prima flowers and butterfly, Scrapmatts clock, leaves, sprays and word chipboard, Martha Stewart border punch, Kaisercraft Pearls, metal clock charm, recycled metal flower, Bella brad, Prima rubons, shipping tag, lace, twine, Tim Holtz distress inks, Versamagic inks, clear embossing powder.

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love.
