LOVELY DAY ~ SCRAP AFRICA SKETCH CHALLENGE

Hello on this wet day here
Well Helen has set a challenge for me and Lizzy to scrap the same photo, for the Scrap Africa Sketch Challenge,  so we have agreed to take the challenge.
I had a lovely visit from Lizzy a couple of weeks ago and we had a laugh trying to take a decent selfie ( it took a few attempts and a lot of laughing ) 

The Sketch 


and my take
LOVELY DAY 


Lizzy gave me the beautiful tag as a gift, so I wanted to use it on my layout and it was a lovely day , well a couple of lovely days actually.
The pair of scissors because Lizzy was a hairdresser at one time.



How gorgeous is that tag ! and I have used a StudioFourteen40 "So Funny" file tab, and the little flower sequins are from Craftqueen



The layout came together really easily and quite quickly, I felt like I should add more or it should be harder , but I decided I liked it how it was. Now I am sure Lizzy will come up with a amazing layout as she always does. Lizzy is such a inspiration and as the little tag says on my layout I am sew glad we are friends .

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend thus far and it doesn't fly by to quickly
Love and Peace
Mary x

This is gorgeous Mary. I love the photo; I still have no idea how to get a decent selfie, so well done you! The tag is yummy and I like the little sequin flower. I chuckled when reading your thoughts about it coming together quickly, but you're right, it doesn't need anything else. Thanks so much for joining in the challenge at Scrap Africa :D
