PIXELS AND PAPER CHALLENGE

Hello !
When I saw the challenge over at Pixels and Paper it reminded me of when we took the Grand Children  to Sydney for the weekend in 2009. Star Wars exhibition was high on the list but also we managed to go The Chinese Gardens and walk around Darling Harbour. Jedd got into the pond for a paddle as it was very hot, but of course what little boy can just paddle without getting completely soaked !
This is the photo we are to take our inspiration from 


and my take


I did struggle with this one as I wanted to use the three photo's and this is actually my second attempt. The first attempt ended up going on a whole other journey and is now my DT layout for next months Orange Paperie. I am also thinking this is not my usual style, even though I don't think I have a style, now I think I kinda of might. Anyway......   here are some close ups





I have used Pinkpaislee Artisan words.
Amy Tangerine clouds and feather
MME & Bo Bunny stamps
Don't forget to join us at Orange Paperie 
and ColorMeScrappy
So much cooler here today. I actually cleaned out the top of a wardrobe, man why do I keep so much stuff!  
Hope you are having a good week
Love and Peace

I love the effect of the white weave paper...haven't seen that before.I get stubborn too and want to use 3 photos when I know 2 would work easily! But this turned out beautiful!

Hi Mary. Love the white weave paper background. It gives such a great canvas to work on. The photos are gorgeous. Your story took me back to when I used to take my classes to an environmental centre nearby, and when they had the opportunity to catch little water creatures in scoop nets. Amazing how many 'accidental' "Oh I slipped" incidents there were over the years. Love your textures, the buttons and twine. Thank you for playing with us at P & P. I love seeing your work. Cheers, Di

A truly delightful page Mary and like everyone else I am very taken by that weave paper - so unusual yet gives an amazingly effective background. Many thanks for joining us this month on P&P - always love seeing your work.
