BACK TO WORK AND A FRESH SUBJECT

I still have several more photos from the Disney 2010 vacation as well as from Winterthur (and of both my kids growing up) but sometimes you just need to work with a fresh batch of photos.  These just arrived the other day from Shutterfly (first time I used them - I prefer the immediate gratification of seeing them the minute I print them and being able to work with them right away but when you have no car you do what you have to do!)  

This is the entry to Nemours Garden and Mansion - another of the big gorgeous DuPont places here in Delaware.  This one belonged to Alfred I DuPont.  The estate is on 222 acres and the 47,000 square foot mansion has more than 70 rooms.  

I rotated Sketch #3 from Scrapbook.com's May PageMaps 1/4 turn clockwise.

The sketch:



This is also for Turtle Soup Inspiration challenge #1 - use black and white plus one other color and Inspiration photo #242 at Just Us Girls as well as for Sketches4all Stacy's May Stash Challenge to use black.

The Inspiration:




I also used some fun feathers that I got from The Pinque Peacock as my unusual embellishment (as well as some glitter, ric rack and a button) for Lasting Memories challenge LM#190.

Nearly forgot to add the layout!


Hope that you are enjoying this long Memorial Day weekend and I hope to have more creations to add here soon!

  6. Love the feathers - what a fabulous embellishment. (You've given me an idea - we have heaps of feathers around the yard here... maybe I should gather up the nice ones and colour them up..) Have a great day :)
