Lucky

Hi everyone! So glad you are here! I have been inspired to work with a fab monochrome moodboard at scrap around the world.  And I have decided to combine it with the sketch and "Lucky" prompt over at OUAS

Here's my interpretation of both challenges

 

We were so lucky to be able to drive around Italy, it is an amazing country, so much to see I would love to spend months and months to be able to savor it all.  hummm specially the italian cuisine and wines, fresh produce and cheeses.

This particular afternoon we had a picnic on the grounds of the Torre Pendente, or leaning tower of Pisa, strawberries, cheese and wine, a topic for another page...

Our luck was so great we got to see the sun set against the tower, the fiery reds were captured in the towers marble like fire, it was so beautiful and in a way a lucky break.  We were not scheduled to arrive that afternoon, but it was Monday and the museums at Firenze were closed.  So we decided to drive to Pisa instead and arrived close to 4:00 PM just in time to sit down, relax and enjoy an amazing sunset!

The road signs are so fun, the italian resembles a lot our Spanish language so we had fun driving around

I used the memorabilia collection of Teresa Collins along with some Tim Holtz, tissue tapes and sheet.  I also used a Prima mask to stamp my swirly background inspired by the first image on the mood board

I had to use the TH pen nib, so old world charm

there is a Prima enamel dot heart for good measure, we are a couple in love, lucky that way too

18 1/2 years together, sooo much in common, best friends, parents, business partners, lovers..

I journaled on my black tag with some white ink, tucked nicely in a pocket made by my photographs

so here's the inspiration



and the sketch

Hope you find some time around the month to complete both or either challenge the sketch over at SATW is fantastic too if you want to use it here it is

fun they both provide for 3 photos!!!

Thanks again for dropping by, always lovely having you here,
