Challenge YOUself #119 - Sketch Challenge "Hope"

 Hello Scrappy Friends - I'm sharing our next challenge from over at the Challenge YOUrself Blog for the month of November!  This month we have a SKETCH for you - and just be sure to include YOU in the photo!  Head over to the Challenge YOUrself Blog for Challenge INFO and details - and LOTS of INSPIRATION from the rest of our AMAZING DesignTeam!

I selected a photo of my wonderful hubby and I from a great day we spent with my parents at a Sunflower Farm, here in New Jersey!  It was a BEAUTIFUL Day and they had all these great photo ops!!

I created the background using a sheet of Vicki Boutin's white foundations paper, and used water and Oxide Distress Inks in different colors. I splattered some white Picket Fence Distress Spray along with some of Vicki's Cosmic Watercolors to create this colorful base page - I am so happy with how it came out - especially since I created it and the whole layout with a broken left hand!! Good thing I am right handed!!

I used papers and embellishments from Shimelle's Main Character Energy, along with a bunch of "stuff" from my stash!   Here are some close-ups for you! AND if you follow the link - ALL FIRST TIME PURCHASES can get 10% OFF your ENTIRE Shopping Cart by using the code: SHERRIREF
