Nuts About Sketches Week 171 :: Al Fresco!

It's time for another new sketch over at Nuts About Sketches, and this week there is a great one page sketch designed by Shawn.


Living in the far North of Scotland means that al fresco dining is a bit of a novelty! The weather isn't always our friend, and when it is, we try to make the most of it. On a trip to Lossiemouth, we decided to use one of the outside tables at La Caverna. It overlooks the beach, and the views that day were more like the Mediterranean than Moray!! Tom also seemed to have a thing about the sachets of sauce on the table, and HP sauce managed to make it's way into at least 2 of the photos.... Talk about product placement...!!!

I flipped the sketch, to make it fit with my photos - I hate having people look off the page LOL. I finally managed to used up some very old Sassafrass paper (back when it was called Sassafrass Lass!) on this page, as it matched in with all the colours in the photos (my DH is very comfortable, by the way,  wearing a bright cerise pink t-shirt) and gave the page a nice summery feel. The flowers were cut from the Accent Essentials Cartridge on my Cricut, layered up and fastened with a jumbo brad. They remind me of the Livingstone daisies I have growing in my garden.

Head over to the blog and see what the rest of the Design Team has done, their work is fantastic!
