Inkspirations Sketch Challenge #18 WINNER!!!
Hey there!
Greetings from tropical Cairns…..I tell ya I am starting to love this place! The weather is beautiful, and the sights are mind blowing!
I have been enjoying a fabulous morning walk at the beach each day this week, and I tell ya, exercising has never been so easy with beautiful scenery all around. Over in the west coast we always see the sun go down over the ocean, not here, it is the complete opposite, and rises up over the ocean. After the breathtaking view one day, I just had to take the camera with me the next morning and whilst I had so many beautiful photos I narrowed it down to these couple, just to show you what I am yabbering about 
Just before Sunrise
Just peeking through…
Above the waterline…
Look at that reflection on the water!!! Just beautiful.
Now you know what I am talking about……
SO whilst i haven’t shown you creative card greatness, I hope this Creation greatness will suffice for now
But having said that, I do actually have some creative greatness to show you…..this weeks winners from teh Sketch challenge!
First up I have this wonderful creation made by Jen Timko….I love this colour combo Jen used, and her combination of stamp sets and that ribbon knot too!! Fabulous job Jen!!!
Then this weeks Honourable mention is a gorgeous creation by the very talented Susan Joyce! I always love Sue’s work and this week is no exception! Fab colour combo too Sue! I often find stamp stamps hard to create with, so you have done a great job with that Hello again stamp set Sue…. thanks for the inspiration!
Next up is a slide show of all the fabulous creations from the challenge this week! I didn’t get to give comment love this week, so please share some of that love around!!!
Thanks again to everyone who played along….YOU ROCK!!!!
Hi Keesh, LOVE your photos - makes me feel homesick (currently residing in Melbourne). Watch out for those crocs won’t you.
Oohhhhhhh, i’m soooooo jealous of your pics. If only I had something other then kangaroos to take pics of at that time of the morning. LOL!! I’ll definately be getting up for early morning walks in 7 weeks time and (emphasis on and!!) taking my camera with me

Hi Keesh!
Welcome to beautiful Queensland! I’m totally intrigued by this amazing move you have made with your family! I can only imagine how crazy things are for you at the moment…it’s not everyday you pick up everything and move to the other side of our Big Beautiful country.
Who was the winner of Challenge 17? I thought I’d take a look but couldn’t find the post.
Looking forward to seeing more of your amazing creations when the dust has settled on your shipping container!
Happy unpacking!

The sun, the water, the clouds - wow - such a beautiful sight. I can imagine you are enjoying the walks very much. Well done and TFS. x
Aaawww Keesh, that sunrise looks just fabulous, yes exercise is soooo much easier when you have something worth looking at. Glad to hear the weather has brightened up for you all.
lots luv Vicki xox
I live in Beautiful Vancouver, Canada, which is on the West Coast of North America. When I was 20 years old I spent a year living in Australia. A large portion of that was spent on the Gold Coast. I remember that it took me a long time to get used to the fact that in the morning I watched the sun RISE over the ocean, instead of watching it set ever night over the ocean.
I hope that you are settling in nicely to your new home. We are currently in the middle of the Olympics and it’s a bit crazy around here, but oh, so very, exciting.
I always enjoy reading your blog. Especially all the little details about life in Australia.
I think I could even exercise there Keesh - looks stunningly beautiful! Hope the move goes well tomorrow - all the best! Cant wait to see what you are going to create for us, when you manage to get ink to card stock! Blessings!
Happy moving-again-day Keesh! All the best with the unpacking.
absolutely stunning pictures Keesh!! Couldn’t ask for anything more beautiful
Hi,
Congratulations on the move. I only wish Cairns had put on such lovely weather when I went there a few weeks ago. I seemed to bring along not one, but two cyclones, Neville and Olga, and so we spent a very wet long weekend there. I suppose it gives us plenty to do when we go there the next time because we certainly didn’t manage to do any sight seeing this time. LOL.
Lovely pictures!!!
Absoluting stunning pictures!! THANK YOU so much for the complement of choosing my card! Oh my…you have made my day!!
