Once Upon A.....Sketch January 2014 Challenge


Welcome to my blog!

It has been a long time coming but finally I have done it!
To start off  this blog and the New Year, I would like to share a layout I have completed for the January Once Upon A.....Sketch Challenge. This is my take on the beautiful sketch provided by the talented Nadia.


Dream




And a few closeups for you.


Here I have used a Kaisercraft Stencil Template called "Wheat" and of course my favourites - Rub-on quotes.



Prima and Petaloo flowers all dry brushed with a little Gesso.


I used a quote for my journalling on the layout, it reads:

Dream as if you will live forever.
Live as if there's no tomorrow.

I also journalled on the back for Cydne to read, it reads:

My dearest little Cydne, may you always Dream big. May you always find love, friendship and happiness. And always remember I love you no matter what!
To the moon and back. Mum xx-xxx

    Oh wow congratulations on the new blog. It looks great. Your layout is just beautiful. I love the colours and that you rotated the sketch. That is one of my favourite quotes and perfect for your layout. Lovely message for your daughter to read when she is older too. Love this. Thanks for playing along with us at OUAS this month.
