The challenges over at Once Upon a Sketch are always ones that challenge me to think personally and this months CHALLENGE is to use this sketch
and use this quote for inspiration..
Well I have spent quite some time thinking about this quote and life and living, and I was drawn to a poem which has been part of my inspiration this month..My layout is based on the poem called 'The Dash' and you can read the poem HERE.
and my journalling..
Life is made up of 2 dates and a dash. We need to make the most of our dash. What will my dash say about me? I hope it says I have been the girl God designed me to be, and used my dash to be a blessing to everyone who knew me...
Closer views..
The Dash..
and I have put a copy of the poem on the back of my layout..
Thanks for a great challenge OUAS, it has made me think about many things...
