Another sketch challenge......

I'm really enjoying my sketch challenge phase at the moment....  :)

 This one is from sketchbook365.blog and jumped out of the screen at me...so I got my gorgeous collection pack of "Lucille" by basic grey and set to work at this months Papermaze crop. 
I didn't use much chalk ink on this page but I did spend a lot of time distressing the edges and making a right dusty  mess!





The flower embellishment was cut and layered up from patterned paper, and all the stickers are Lucille.

When we visited my sister last year, my husband had been asked to bring back an Oklahoma fridge magnet..... Now usually they are everywhere you go, but we were having some difficulty, and  made a special trip to the museum knowing they would have some....only to find it was closed !
Still it was a good back drop for the photos :)

Here's the sketch. 



Thanks for stopping by

  3. Thanks for linking us up so that I could come by and enjoy your really lovely take on the sketch from my page. I love how you have taken the house theme and found another great story to tell. Fridge magnets are very popular in our house too, though they don't stick to our fridge and we have to get inventive with where we put them! It's a beautiful page
