JOURNEY ~ NEW CHALLENGE AT COLORMESCRAPPY

Hi all
Well being the 15th of the month means a new challenge at ColorMeScrappy  and the new colour palette is 


and the twist is to use texture ... that's not a problem, love texture :)


 I made the journey bottle top , used my new mask & Prima stamps from Craftqueen 


Some plasters tape , which is great for adding texture, some canvas that has been soaked in coffee and the coffee rings , well I was actually having a cup of coffee and thought why not put the base of the takeaway coffee cup into the lid and stamp my paper :) 
The PP is Bo Bunny

The tag in the side contains the journalling which says ~
When I look at this photo it makes me feel a little sad. After having a fall & being 94 & a fading memory Mum had to go into a nursing home. On this day I took Mum for a drive to get her out and to some nice sights. Mum's mobility was also getting worse, so trips down town etc were no longer an option. Although I was doing my best I could not help but feel her sense of sadness of losing her independence and longing to go home.



So have a go at the great colour palette and playing with texture. Love to see your take on the challenge
Also being the 15th Jo and Kim have added their beautiful layouts to the Orange Paperie Challenge. Pop over and have a look see and join in with the beautiful moodboard for inspiration.
Have a great week. Weekends go way to fast :(
I will leave you with a touch of Spring
Love and Peace

I love all the texture you have on this layout! Your layout and photo (and the story behind the photo) are beautiful. A wonderful take on the challenge.
