Tracey - colour & sketch challenge

Howdy Sue,

Hope you have had a good summer and a break away from the riff raff of life!! Attached is my layout of your sketch. This is also Amanda's colour challenge. Two challenges in one!! I was very happy that I thought to use the hambly screen print thingies under my title, I love them but have no idea how to use them. Doing Amanda's class the other night has encouraged me to use diecuts and these screen print things. When I was cropping the layout I chopped off the edges sorry. The kids ended up swimming this day in the absolute freezing water in their clothes!! No sense, no feeling!!! Lucky they had a change of clothes. The journalling says 'Note to self ... when going to the beach in the middle of winter, children will always end up getting their clothes wet. You must take spares!!'

Cheers,
Tracey

Wow, you were quick off the mark Tracey....sorry i was a day or so posting it up....but what a great layout, and clever one....getting two of the challenges done in one layout!!

Love the patterned papers you have chosen, they look great together, and love the use of the hambly screen transparency!!...and yummy crochet flower!!

Great page Trace! Thanks for giving it a go!

Stunning Tracey love it all but especially how the girls t shirt colours just pop out with the layout colours looks fab.

Looks great Tracey.
You can almost tell by looking at the girls that the water is cold, but that wasnt going to stop them.
It doesnt change as they get older either you still need spares!!
All your embellies look great.
