Scraps of Darkness & Sketches: Creatively Yours ~ My Serenity

 It is reveal day again for Sketches: Creatively Yours.  And this sketch 12-11 by Ali McDonald leaves a lot of room for versatility.  We would love to see what you come up with, so please stop at our blog and share!!  We are also on Facebook.
This is my interpretation of Ali's sketch.  I used some more of July's Marrakesh Express kit from Scraps of Darkness.  When I got a hold of this photo of my SIL I really wanted to make a page of surreal beauty.  My SIL is very special.  She has been fighting cancer and tumors for many years, making miracles happen daily.  So looking at this peaceful picture with her and some of her babies in her beloved garden, I wanted to really show how she has a special place in my heart.  I love you Jeanie!!!!!  2011

I used these Scrapmatt chippies to enclose the photo.  Those Prima flowers came from an older kit.
I used a DA birdbath from my stash to accent the garden.  The gorgeous butterfly came in this kit.
