A little bit of Sketchabilities...

Hello all, I hope you are having a restful Saturday. After a gloomy, foggy start to the day we now have beautiful sunshine so I was able to get a pic of my entry for the new sketch at Sketchabilities:




The colours in this layout are so vibrant, but this photo doesn't do it justice. I love this Stampin' Up! paper "Eastern Elegance", which I've had for a while now just waiting for the right photo. Coincidentally, I picked up some paint swatches at Bunnings a few days ago - they make great freebie, colour-coordinated layers for scrapbooking - and I just happened to pick up some colours that matched perfectly with this pp. The names of the paint colours also matched my theme if you look closely :)


The flair buttons are from A Piece of Cake Designs, also something I've had in my stash for a while. They also matched perfectly with the pp.


Flowers are from Craft Queen and Prima. The timber word "Selfie" is from Flutterby Designz and the American Craft Thicker. Also a Prima wooden camera.  For some reason I feel like I have scrapped this photo previously, but I can't find it so maybe I haven't, but I do have this photo on our fridge (cause it's one of my faves from their travels), so maybe that's why I feel like I've scrapped it :/  the mind is gradually leaving the building I'm sure!  Thanks for looking :)
