Once Upon a Sketch - March 15 Challenge

Hi Everyone

Today has been a busy day doing all sorts of errands and also little chores, but also in between all that, I did a little bit of scrapping.  I mean, what would a day in my life be without scrapping?!

Anyways, I did a layout for the Once Upon a Sketch Challenge and really did enjoy it immensely. The theme was "missing something or someone" and then also the sketch to go with it.
Here is the sketch.


Here is my version of it.

I used the Pink Paislee London Market collection and I absolutely adore this collection! My brother lives in London and so was very apt for me to use this collection for this layout.  I did some splash/blob painting on the background cardstock in silver, which actually came out quite nicely and sort of pulls the layout together.  I also did the journalling around my photo, which I thought was a nice touch too.

Here are some close-ups, where you can also see the journalling better.

I love the fact that scrapping gives one the opportunity to give thought to your feelings and emotions when creating a project, and this one really did. It was very good for my soul!! Maybe do a little something for the soul today??

Have a great evening!
