Let's get Shabby - Challenge #11

It's all about Colour

In Australia at the moment it is Autumn

(and here in the UK it is Spring - a wet and cold one today!!)

Let's get Shabby - Challenge #11

is a Colour Challenge

....it is to look at this incredible Quilt

and be inspired
..and It would be nice to include some fabric somewhere

-oOo-

...So here is my take on the challenge:

I was inspired by the blues, browns, oranges and the touches of golden yellow in the Quilt.

...and a few weeks ago, I bought my first 12x12 scrapbook album

...with the intentions of sorting through my millions ( ok zillions!!) of photographs

so that I could scrap some pics of my 3 boys 'growing up' over the last 20 years!!

I thought this pic of two of my lads would be perfect for a shabby LO makeover

it was taken about 14 years ago, so they both are a little bit bigger now LOL!!

...both strapping 6 footers but still sooooo Cheeky!!

-oOo-

I've added some Hessian for the background and some ribbon roses for the fabric element of the challenge.

...Handmade flowers

..ribbon and lace

...fabby leaves and sweet mini pumpkin embellishments

...and of course buttons!
