The Cheeky Challenge theme this week at June's Dezinaworld is...
Whiter shade of pale.
The first thing that flew into my thoughts was the song of that name
A whiter shade of pale, sung by Procol Harum.
This was a firm favourite back in the day and can still evoke loads of happy memories if we [ me and my OH] hear it played on on the media,needless to say we have our own copy .
I had to hand this background in my journal, but pale images were being hard to imagine, so after a photo was taken , I was off into my digital mode, to create my own version here where hopefully the dove would bring a message that would bring a bit of colour to her cheeks.
Using images from favourite sources. Dezinaworld and Mischief Circus as well a few of my own. and all assembled in my Craft Studio.
I have just seen that the girls and Linda the Guest Hostess at
have announced the new theme for April which is
For the Record.........Inspired by a Song
Yes,a song most definitely inspired me for this page.
