SWEET AS ~ Scrap friends Colour Challenge

Hello lovely friends,

I did this layout for the colour challenge over at Scrap friends

\
Pretty yummy colours I think you would have to agree :) 
I found this photo of when I was a little girl and I must say I am impressed as how cute I look, I mean look at that dress, not to mention the bow on top of my head hehe





I smeered gesso under the photo to make it pop a bit more and the smudges of blue are because I stupidly spilled the blue paint and I can't bare to waste supplies I just put it on my fingers ( well it was all over them to anyway) and wiped across the paper in different spots. What was still left I did the same in my sketch book to use later. I also used it on the stamped image tag that I made. I mounted the tag on frayed Canvas and sewed around it with Orange thread.
Added some flowers, thank you Lizzy for the light blue one and added a light blue brad and a Satin seam  ribbon bow. I've tucked journalling in the side with the where and who I am with and all finished.
I don't know why I have to get my creative flow at about 11pm at night, because I can't walk away once I start and I am up till all hours :( Not so good the next day) 
I have found I really enjoy scrapping old photos.
Anyway enough rambling, hope you are all having a spectacular day. I will leave you with this photo I took at Nelson's Bay a few weeks ago



Love and Sunshine

OK, before I say anything...I just did a VERY Similar bow on a LO that i haven't posted yet! Truly - 2 ribbons together...flowing ribbon trails AND I used one of the ribbons you sent me. Now is that weird, or what???!!! ANYWAYS I LOVE your ribbons & the bg paint is perfect & I like the idea of taking the bow from the photo & transferring it to your LO...& you were a cutesy li'l girl AND that photo of Nelson Bay is stunning:):):) Oh, and thanks for playing along at Scrap Friends:):):)
