Scrap Around the World - Challenge #2

Mood Board inspiration: predominately the colours were my inspiration. I loved the soft pink and teal blue green together. The floral paper in my layout carries both those colours. I have included the theme of camera's by using Tim Holtz film strips and the prima wood icon antique camera. It was mainly the colours that stood out and I was guided by the sepia photo I was given. It all seemed to talk to me of lace and old world vintage look.

Sketch inspiration: I utilised a beautiful frame was on the paper, and used lace instead of the strips below the sketch, otherwise I have followed the sketch fairly closely. 

The photo is of my Grandmother who was a wonderful strong independent woman. An inspiration in herself. I was asked by my sister, Susan, who lives in Western Australia to join in a family challenge which included my niece Belinda, who lives on the east coast of Australia, and myself if Colorado, to use the same photo, and see how different we each created a layout. I think my sister Susan was very smart to come up with the idea of using a photo of someone we all loved, doing something we all love that unites us as a family, even though we are in different parts of the world.

Thank you for looking and any comments you may leave, best wishes, Catherine AussieBeer
