This is the start of an inspiration patch, where I hope that fellow scrappers and creators will come and find some inspiration, or even leave some inspiration for me.

Summer - Scrap Africa Sketch no.46

Hello Everyone

Sorry for being so quiet this past week, but life has just been a little difficult.  So I just took some time out.

We have a new sketch challenge at Scrap Africa here.  Here is a reminder of the sketch.



And here is my take on it.


I used mostly BoBunny Lemonade Stand, but also some bits from Summer Stories Good Day Sunshine. I did some gesso stencilling, watercolour effects and stamping on the background.


My boy loves summer and so this is what this page is about! Sun, swimming, ice-creams, watermelon.....;-)


It's a bright, sunny and cheery page asd I really wanted to capture the essence of summer.


Here's a close up of the background and also some untidy cotton....which I thought was perfect for a boy's page! ;-))

Well I look forward to another beautiful day....even though the mornings are certainly getting a little cooler....the days are still very HOT.

I hope you have a super Saturday!

    So sorry to hear life has been difficult Denise and glad you took some time out. We all need to do that from time to time. Your bright, gelato coloured page is perfect for your Summer boy. Our little ones love the pool too. A great sketch and a bright, fun page. Hugs

    Hi Denise! We could use a little summer over here right now! You captured it perfectly here on your gorgeous page. And speaking of gorgeous, that sketch is, too! (I hope to get some time to participate this time, maybe!!!) I love the photo and your journaling - really does bring the magic of summer to your layout! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
