FAMILY ~ SKETCHY BOARDS CHALLENGE

Hello scrappy friends,
Today I would like to share a layout for the current challenge at Sketchy Boards
The sketch....


and the colour palette

I really am not that fond of scrapping Purple, but something appealed to me , so who knows




I struggled with this one for awhile, but I completely changed my background paper and that made such a difference ( and this is really old paper) I took away a big gold heart doily and that was another improvement. In the end I was surprisingly happy with the outcome.


Now my husband took a interest in this one . He said he really liked the photo as we are all smiling , we are all in it (it was the first time for awhile ) and then he said......
You should leave your glasses on , because you are getting old and that is how I see you all the time now , with your glasses on. OK he should have stopped there ! Then he said that I looked like a Hooker ! I look like a Hooker I said . Yeah he said, you look so small , you look like you are in the middle of a scrum, (he is a old footballer ) Glad he cleared that one up ! My husband really has a way with words



The flair is from Funky Flair Studio 
Thank you for calling by, I hope your week is a good one & may you have a lovely Easter and I hope you get to spend it with those you love .
Love, Peace and Kindness

OhmyGOOOOSH!! I always wet my pants there, Mary.... which may be something to do with age, too.....anyways..... he certainly has a unique way of 'looking' at the world!! That is soooooo funny. I'm glad it was THAT type of hooker that he was alluding too anyways!!! Purple eh? SO very brave. AND you pulled it off! Well done you - I reckon that big flower cluster just makes this page. It's beautiful AND I really like how you've used that doily cluster instead of another photo on the other side of the page. CLEVER!!!

That made me laugh out loud Mary. Here in SA we don't know a thing about Rugby, so to me, Hooker means only one thing! What a hoot! You are brave to take on the purple and you rocked it! Love the shade you chose and your photo is lovely. I agree, we start and end with family. Happy Easter to you and yours, stay safe and I hope you get time for scrapping.
