SKETCHY BOARDS CHALLENGE ~ NATURE IS WEARING HER PRETTIEST CLOTHES

A new month means lots of new challenges and Sketchy Boards Challenge  over on facebook has a beautiful colour palette and sketch to inspire you. I was thrilled to be asked to be the Guest Designer this month :) 

The  colour palette ~ so beautiful 


and the sketch



Something Heidi said inspired me to scrap some photo's I had taken of my home town in Autumn. 

Nature is wearing her prettiest clothes


"Nature is wearing her prettiest clothes" is from the book
A year in Provence , I think it is such a beautiful way with words. 



The flowers are from a VERY old vintage hat that I acquired from my Mum ( I think it was an old aunts at one stage) 



The little chippy birds & Gold brad, triangle were  gifts from Lizzy .
 The town I live in is really so pretty in Autumn.



Satin Seam binding from Craftqueen. The PP are Kaiser "Be-YOU-tiful Range. A beautiful range with the most gorgeous colours.




Thank you for calling by and really hope you join in this fantastic challenge
Love and Peace

Your town is indeed glorious in Autumn, but I don't think I'd like to live there in Winter. Your photos show her off in all her glory and what fun that she's wearing an old Aunt's hat! I'd love to see that stash of stuff from your Mum - it must have a room of it's own. Lovely job Mary :D
