OUAS - Guest DT

Hi Girls,

Well here is my 2nd LO for Once Upon a Sketch, which I am Guest Designer for this month.  The criteria for the March 15th challenge is:

Journaling Criteria: Finish this line "I miss...".
Tell us about someone you are missing right now and why. Your journaling can be as long or as little as you like, but we want to hear all about someone you are missing!

Ideas for journaling: missing time alone with your partner, missing your old self, missing your children because they are off to school, university or living away from you, missing your children being young, missing a friend you have not seen in a while, someone in another country, someone that has passed away, a mentor whose advice you could use, a relative you wish you lived closer to, someone you regret having an argument with, missing a pet.

Miss You

This was a really difficult page for me, as I chose to create a LO on how much I miss my mother.  It has been over 21 years since my mother passed away... she was only 55.  I still think about her and miss her nearly every single day.  I don't have very many pics of her as she hated being photographed, but I finally managed to dig an old one out and tried to enhance it as much as possible.  I love that she is smiling here.

I actually had to create 2 LO's for this challenge.  I got so caught up in mixing papers and elements while I was creating my 1st page, and just as I was putting the finishing touches on it I realised I had forgotten the sketch aspect of the challenge.. so this is my 2nd attempt.  I will give the other LO to my sister.. she was very happy about my mistake!!  I decided on hidden journaling for this LO with a pull out tag.


List of Materials:  Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings and Dec 25th, Basic Grey Curio, Websters Lullaby Lane, Graphic 45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe pp's, Scrapmatts chipboard frame, Prima flowers Prima flower centres, Websters rose trim,  Basic Grey office tabs, EK Success border punch, Craft Queen ribbon, Bella pearls, Sassafras Lass alpha stickers, Carolee's mini alphas, shipping tag, Glitz Design stamp, Smooch Spritz, Gesso, Memento ink

YOU MUST combine our journalling criteria with this sketch..

 Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love.. your comments really make my day.
