Enjoy the moments ~ SOUS original Sketch ~



Happy Friday, pals and gals! This one is super special because we have another Original SOUS sketch by our very own Leah Schaeffer. Let's give her a high five! It was such a fun sketch to work from and I think that you'll love it!

Here it is again:

And here is my take on it:

I had this great new photo of  2 of my dgds to scrap and decided to have a little fun with it and with some yummy new paper by Bo Bunny called Welcome Home. (Speaking of Bo Bunny: I recently won a give-away from them and received the most gorgeous Christmas papers and embellishments in the mail. They were so generous. Thank you, Bo Bunny!)

Okay, I digress, sorry. Along with the papers I wanted to play with some of my favorite Dusty Attic pieces, the title and the lamp post. I painted the one brown and the other white, then coated it with some Rock Candy Stickles.

Here are a few close-ups.

The title piece was painted with Tattered Angels Chalkboard in Decadence.  I love this saying and will have to order more of this one!



The lamp post was simply painted with some Folk Art Warm White, then distressed with some Chestnut Roan and finally brushed with Rock Candy Stickles. I added a flower to dress it up a bit more.  Then added some beige papers where the globes are.


Here, I framed the bottom of my photo with some gorgeous ribbon from Pink Paislee. Then used one of my remaining Prima vines and added a mix of florals. The large white flower was a BoBunny flower from last years Olivia collection. The white and green flowers are Recollections and the tiny flowers are from Flying Unicorn .

Well, I will keep my post short today .. but hope that you will get a chance to play along with the sketch this time. Can't wait to see your inspiration!
