Once Upon A Sketch - Lesson learnt...

Good day to you! I hope you are having a very pleasant day! Any day for me that has scrapping in it is pleasant!

The January challenge for ONCE UPON A SKETCH is another thought provoking one.. We are to be inspired by this sketch and the theme is LESSON LEARNT..
I have mirrored the sketch to suit my photo.. And I have created this layout for my DD and it is about accepting changes.. Life is filled with change, and as much as sometimes we wish things could just stay the same for ever, they don't.. something I have learned in my life.. and my DD is seeing in her life as this year she is off to High School and she is changing into a young lady...... I have used the Kaiser range of papers Violet Crush.

Some closies first..


and showing my journalling...
and my layout..

Accepting changes....



 Thanks for a great challenge again OUAS team! Thanks also for spending a few minutes with me today and as always thanks so much for any comments too!! Enjoy your day!!

  28. Life's changes may topple our balance from time to time, but we always come out all the wiser at the end of it. You are so infinitely wise Lizzy and so obviously full of love for your gorgeous daughter. They grow so fast and sooner than we think, they have flown out of the nest trying their own wings. You have created such an incredibly beautiful page for her. Glorious layering and gorgeous details! xoxo
