Mission Inspiration: May 2017

I thought that I'd better complete this page as the next mission has already been posted and we are now in June.  I'm not usually this late, but I got sidetracked with other things over half term.  In the end I decided to make the page semi auto biographical as I am the eldest (by 15 minutes) of four (three girls and the youngest a boy).  The quote is completely tongue in cheek, as my parents do not feel this way at all.  However the old fashioned nature of the Paper Dolls that I used as the focal points reminded me of the 'Victorian/Edwardian' feelings about children.  As my brother (aged 6) once said about our grandparents, "I'm not spoiled, I'm ruined rotten."  The colours of the month were Teal, Lavender and Grey, so I decided to use a warm grey which matches the colour tones of the Paper Doll characters.
