Triple Challange

I challanged myself to take part in 3 challenges - each one focussing on a different area.

Colour Stories Inspiration - Colour challenge with 'case file' requirements to attain (see attached colour/case file below)

Sketchabilities - Sketch challange #122 (see below for Sketch)

Scrap it with a Song - (Pop Gals lyrics Challenge) - Jackson Browne – Running on Empty - used the word 'Friends' for the title.

I also challenged myself to only use paper I had already cut into (scrap) - so the four different papers are all scrap.

This is what I created

I love the colours in the CSI #13 colour palette (see below) and I knew the perfect pictures to use with it.  I have had these photos of my grandson for a while and hadn't found the best way to scrap them so this was perfect.

This is the colour palette I used from Colour Stories Inspiration

EVIDENCE DETAILS
Choose two (or more) of the following elements to include on your layout:  My selections are highlighted is pink/blue.

• Make a pinwheel (here are two tutorials on how to make them: here and here ).
• hearts
• string/yarn/fiber/ twine
• map print
• jewels
• Make a spiral flower, like in the center of the pinwheel.
• Tuck a little surprising detail somewhere on your page.

JOURNALING DETAILS (TESTIMONY)
Choose one (or more)of the following to inspire your journaling:

• Document something related to play (child or adult play).
• Tuck your journaling into something so that it's partially hidden.
• Write your journaling so that it goes in a circle or spiral.
• Write one central idea and four supporting details/examples (as inspired by the center of the pinwheel and the 4 parts coming off of it.
• Inspiration words: play, surprise, delight -- Use these as a jumping-off point for your journaling (not just as a title).

This is the sketch I used from Lets Get Sketchy

As you will see from my layout I have move the main part of the sketch to the left as I thought it worked better with my photographs, but other than that I tried to stay true to the sketch.
