Hi there! Hope you are having a great week! Today I have a layout to share featuring a photo of sweet Meredith that was taken nearly 10 years ago while we were on vacation:

I challenged myself to create using the fun color palette for this week's ColourQ color challenge:

I don't own pretty patterned papers featuring that particular color scheme so I pulled out a variety of beautiful ColourArte products and added lots of color to a sheet of 13arts patterned paper:

I added a lot of design to the background using various stencils, stamps and the following ColourArte products: Radiant rain Shimmery Mist: RR-29525 Elderberry, RR-26408 Teal Zircon and RR-29526 Honey Dew as well as Radiant Gel Dimensional Paint Coral Berry:

Along with a trio of various blossoms from my stash and some die cut foliage:

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current Let's Get Sketchy Sketch Challenge:

Many thanks for stopping by ~ I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!
Be Sweet ;)

ColourArte products used:
Radiant rain Shimmery Mists: RR-29525 Elderberry, RR-26408 Teal Zircon and RR-29526 Honey Dew
