Me and My Girls

Sketchabilities Challenge 119.  As usual, the sketch was lovely and just called to be worked with. Here it is:

The picture is from a summer birthday celebration in October 2012 of my daughters and I. My biggest challenge in this LO was the use of colours because for me, they're not colours I'm comfortable with. I'm happy with the layering (especially the framing of the photo) and the stamping/inking of the background.

Scrap&Music Challenge 32

I was very happy to discover a new challenge blog, Scrap & Music, where there is not only a very appealing sketch but the added challenge of including words from a given song. The site is here.

Challenge #32 used this sketch:

and had to include some words from Aerosmith's Crazy. So it seemed a perfect time to take advantage of the last days of school holidays and work up a snap from a New Year's family birthday party photo booth session, this one of my son and his friend.

So, here it is:
