happy day

Hey, hope you've had a wonderful weekend and feel well rested, ready to start a new week ☺

I'm just sneaking in this LO for a challenge at the My Minds Eye blog - it's a sketch challenge with the theme of YOU.

I really wanted to join in seeing as I've got a stash of new goodies from the new collection - Follow Your Heart - I just love the soft muted tones of these papers and the gorgeous embellishments that go along with them.

Anyway, here's what I've created:

 These pictures are of my biggest boy - he had a fun beach day with his class mates to celebrate the end of their Primary School years.  With the sketch, I've layered lots of the pattern papers together, adding in some of the chipboard embellishments and also making some of my own.
Here are some close-up's:

 ... circles from the pattern paper with some of the brads ... also made a little flag with one of the pins ...

 ... my journalling and the chipboard title ...

 ... a little bunting from the chipboard embellishments ...

... and here is the sketch that was provided for this challenge:

It's a fun one, hey!!  I'm off to link it up.
I hope to be back soon with a preview of some flowers for my sale on Friday and also details of the give away ☺
