Off the Rails, Cardabilities #90 and Feeling Sketchy#77

Good Day to you.. I hope your day is going well.. We are experiencing some very extreme weather here at the moment and the temperatures are set to soar and perhaps make new records for this time of the year.. A good day for me to sit quietly in front of the fan and get some scrapping done! That is what I will do later but now I would like to share a few creations.

There is a Challenge Site called OFF THE RAILS that I found via my friend LIZZY HILL who inspires me every time I drop in on her blog! Anyway the latest challenge over there is a color and sketch which was so pretty I had to sit and create..

Here is the sketch which I loved and these are the colors which I loved as well!!



And here is my layout.. and what else could I use but a photo of my gorgeous girl in the springtime flowers!
I cut my photo into 3 instead of using 3 photos as per the sketch and I think it has worked quite well..  I have used lots of dies and a touch of lace and love how this turned out!

Bloom..

Close ups


And just getting back into doing cards..

For CARDABILITIES #90  
and my card..
 
and for FEELING SKETCHY#77
  the sketch..
and my card..
Thanks so much for calling by today.. I hope you have a great day and while us aussies are sweating I know our friends on the other side of the world are experiencing some epic cold weather.. so to all I say Take Care.. Thanks so much for any comments too...xx

    Your layout is beautiful, Lizzy! I love all the dies you used. The cards are so pretty, too. We are having the complete opposite weather here---artic blast. We had a snowstorm yesterday, so I'm quite happy! lol

    Beautiful work as always, Lizzy!

    We are having much the opposite here- record cold and piles of snow. I'd love to trade for some hot sun right about now ;)
    Stay safe :)
