NEW BEGINNINGS ~ SCRAP AFRICA SKETCH CHALLENGE

Hello !

Today I would like to share with you my take on the Sketch Challenge at Scrap Africa . The DT are full of inspiration, I encourage you to pop over check their beautiful work out and join in on the challenge.
The lovely Sketch


and this is my take

NEW BEGINNINGS



I came across this photo and thought it needed to be scrapped.
My brother , just out of school was about to embark on a life changing journey . That is my Grandmother Ma in the front (my Mum's Mum) My Brother , Mum ,Dad and Me . I can still remember that dress and hat Mum had on. The dress was all lace and a blue/mauve sort of colour.


The word chippy is from Scrapmatts. The flourish chippies are 2Crafty, which I have gessoed. Flowers are from Craftqueen. I have used mists and a stencil and lots of stamping.


Thank you for calling by
Love and Peace
