Once Upon a Sketch

Enjoying a scrappy day today I decided to play along with the sketch on 
OUAS
It was also a great opportunity to play with papers from the 
Marion Smith Designs 'Nirvana' range
ooh I had fun !!!!

I LOVE the SUNSHINE of YOUR SMILE


acetate clock face & satin lace trim tucked under 
brick work is sprayed & splattered with walnut ink
die cut leaves inked with versamark
fussy cut rose 
inked leaves 
chipboard finials inked
 using this quote by Santosh Kalmar: 
'Every day is a JOURNEY filled with twists & turns
Every day if you smile you will feel alive'.

I felt this was a perfect quote for my daughter 
who faces most adversities with a smile
my journalling is too personal to share, so is hidden 
the decisions she is making for her future are a huge step, not without hurdles, 
I feel she will bound over them & succeed .
 products used: Marion Smith Designs, Imaginarium,Teresa Collins, BG,Cottage Cutz, Versamark, 
7gypsies, Kaiser & my stash

thank you for calling by 
happy Scrapping

  5. Wow, both the background work and details on this layout is awesome. - a kind of busy, but it still doesn't "kill" the purpose of this page. Beautiful work.
