How Sketchy!

This weeks challenge is at Lasting Memories is a fun and easy one - we're asking you to use this sketch WITH the color inspiration photo. Look carefully .. there's black, grey, white and then of course all those pastels. 



Karen's offering up some candy this week!!! Here's what you have a chance to win ...



Here is my take on the challenge. My husband and I love going to Menchies, a local Frozen Yogurt spot. I made a layout using My Mind's Eye and DCWV Paper. I was inspired by mostly the pastels, but added a few browns in there as well! 


The polka dot background is inspired by the ceiling. (If you look really close, the yellow scallop trim on the bottom is yellow polka dots as well!) My pink checkered paper was inspired by the coffee table cover. My pink and taupe ribbon trim was inspired by the rug.


I added a bundle of buttons. I don't know why, but I really liked the end result.

Stop by this week at Lasting Memories and show us your take on the challenge!!

    The buttons make this really fun. Reminds me of ice cream toppings or something. You and your Hubby are cute. Looks like a fun twosome you are!! ;-)
