The color room #78 and scrap the girls

The color room #78 very pretty feminine colors this week.I have done this for a friend that i am going to catch up with next week.I have an album for her of her daughter.Sally passed away about three years ago now she was a really beautiful fun spirited girl.I struggled doing her album and found myself in tears each time i looked at her.But it was good therapy for me.

And this one is for the scrap the girls for October the challenge is distressing and the word love.I love this latest release papers from kaiser.

The color room #77

This are such great colors together this is my take on the color room this week.A rare picture of the three of us together and it took about 20 to get 1 good one.I used a inspired blue sketch.

My take on the color room challenge this week,the colors were very pretty.

The color challenge for prima this month was based on there 4th July celebration it is similar to our Australia day.Thanks for looking.

This layout was featured on the color room this week to my surprise.I really did struggle with these colors so some times it does help to give yourself a push and do something you wouldnt normally do.This coming weeks colors are so pretty cant wait to scrap them.

Just because

I love these pics of Mikayla,she is just walking along talking to herself like she always does.
I have done some misting on this and loved how it turned out.Thanks so much to everyone that leaves comments i really appreciate it.Have a great weekend Kerry
