OUAS July

A very good day to you all! I hope your day is going well!
The July challenge for Once upon a sketch is to use this sketch..
and use the journalling theme "GROW".
When I first saw the challenge I thought of the song... when I grow up to be a man... and I really hoped I would think of something else as I find male layouts sooo challenging... but I thought well it is a challenge after all.. So I used a photo of my son Nathan when he was 3 years and then I added a smaller recent photo of him.

When I grow up to be a man..
The journalling just says that even though he has grown up I cherish the memories of him as my little boy...

I did enjoy creating the back ground on this layout with texture paste mists and masks..

Thanks for dropping in and thank you for the wonderful comments you leave me too!

  14. Hi again Lizzy. Just wondering if I could send you an email? I don't have your address though. If you go to my tour blog my address is on the side. Your blog won't let me put my tour blog address in here so I'll have to be sneaky! It's www vicmasterstour at blogspot com au Let's see if it accepts that!
