This month we are being inspired by this delightful artwork Under a jacaranda tree (1903) by R Godfrey Rivers.
Also if you pop over to ARTastic you will be able to read a
little about the artist.
Young Hearts
I decided to use my old book journal and use a old picture of my Uncle, Aunt Dad and Mum when they were very young.
The colours turned out a little more pink than I wanted, but I decided to stop as I didn't want it to turn muddy.
I had to laugh my Uncle and Dad look like gangsters in their trench coats :) Must have been the trend when they were youngsters . Funny how you can never imagine your parents being young, let alone being trendsetters !
Flair from StudioFourteen40 "always" range.
Some stamping, rubons, paint and doilies.
Thank you for calling by, I really appreciate any comments and I hope you can join us over at ARTastic. I encourage you to visit the blog and be inspired by the DT's take on the challenge.
Love and Peace

What an amazing jacaranda tree... and love your journal pages Mary, such a precious photo, and love how you have created the pages.. I will make a note of this challenge.. and see how the time goes.. I hope this month slows down..somehow I dont think it will...
Those colours look really great & I adore all the vintage images, especially the stamping you've done.....really lovely, lots to look at page:):)
The colour combo on this is great Mary. You have so many fantastic old photos. I agree, the guys do look like gangsters lol!
Fabulous work with the vintage photo Mary and I love the Jacaranda tree. A friend of mine worked that in cross stitch and it looked divine. They look right up to the mark in their "on trend" clothes :D
