SKETCHY BOARDS CHALLENGE ~ THE BEAUTY OF PATMOS

Hello !

I was wanting to join in with Sketchy Boards challenge this month. 

the sketch



and the colour palette



Not living near the sea and not getting there as much as I would like , I don't have a lot of beach photo's . The photo's I have when my  children were little on beach holidays are terrible quality, which is a shame, so.......

I thought I would use this lovely photo I took at Patmos



The gorgeous flair is from StudioFourteen40  I encourage you to pop over to StudioFourteen40 check out the gorgeous products and to also visit the blog and leave some love for the gorgeous creations by the team.  The time piece is from My 2 Angels. 





I have also used washi here and there from Georgia Heald



The cute little heart chippy is for StudioFourteen40, they are so versatile to pop on a layout or PL 




I have randomly stamped here and there with a Dark Room Door stamp



Thank you for calling by and hope you find the time to join in this lovely challenge. 
Being Australia Day Long weekend here this weekend I will leave you with a photo my Son Chris Bennetts  took of my Grandson .The photo was on the  front cover of one of our local papers here today.



Have a wonderful weekend everyone (it's nearly here )

Love , Peace and Happiness

There are so many elements of awesomeness going on with these layouts that I don't know where to begin! I'll start with those fantastic butterflies! They look so shimmery and gorgeous.

Hi Mary! Thank you so much for following me! I'm happy to return the favor and I apologize for taking so long to get here. I had a wee challenge happening at my place that took off like a house afire and kept me hopping this month! I mean last month; I can't believe it is February already!! Congratulations on reaching over 100 followers!! (I see my little friend Becca was your 100th!)

Your blog is a delight and your scrapbook layouts are incredible to me! True works of art to be treasured! Finally, wow, that photo of your grandson in your most recent post is extraordinary! It SHOULD be on the cover of magazines!! Have a great day and I hope to see you again soon! Hugs, Darnell
