CHALLENGEYOURSELF ~ SKETCH CHALLENGE

Hello on this cold winter's morning. It is 11.30am here and the water in the birdbath is still frozen solid, so they will have to put their skates on today !
The sketch challenge at Challenge Yourself, I will have to say I found "Challenging" I find scrapping multiple photo's hard.  The layout has been on my desk for several days and I have thought about binning it. Last night I decided to sit down and just get it done, not sure if I am any happier with it, but it is done.
The sketch



and this is my take


I have used a gold button and some gold wire and gold paper clips , that era just makes me think of gold and grandeur .
I have coloured the gorgeous Imaginarium Designs feather . See I am in the photo, my brother took the photo and he is really not that into taking pictures 


Underneath my photo I have used Strips of music washitape


Some texture


I actually spilled the ink, but what the heck, I liked it. I have used some Prima packaging under my photo as well.
I knew this statue and garden was in Vienna , as my daughter had told me about it. Funnily it was not in the tourist pamphlets and whilst walking and searching for it, people really didn't seem to know it ! Anyway we found it eventually

Thank you for calling by

Love , Peace and Happiness

Wow, Mary! This layout is spectacular! Your photos are so beautiful, and I did find YOU in the picture!!! Your brother must be like my hubby - every time he tries to take my picture, he cuts half of me out, or my head altogether! LOL!!!! Anyway, your page turned out beautiful, and it certainly doesn't look like you had trouble with your gorgeous multi-picture page! Thank you so much for joining us at Challenge YOUrself this month!
