ONCE UPON A SKETCH - From this Day..

A big hello to you, thanks for dropping in!

The April challenge over at Once Upon A Sketch is another really good one, how do they think up such thought provoking challenges?? Anyway the theme is   AN EVENT THAT CHANGED MY LIFE..

and to use this sketch..


 


Well there are so many possibilities for this.. of course having children is always the best change in ones life, but I went back further to when it all began... my Wedding Day... This was a big change for me, it meant moving out of home, and building our first home and lives together..  So that is what I went with..

From this Day..

(closer views ..)


My journalling says.. Going from Miss to Mrs. Going from single to plural. Going from alone to together.
My life began anew - from this day.. Sept 4th 1982.

Thanks so much for coming by and I really do appreciate the comments that are left for me to read.. Have a wonderful day!!

  1. Oh Lizzy your layout is choc-a-bloc with delightness and romance! Love the pearls, swirls and your choice of colours. Very elegant indeed! Looking at my own wedding photos make me remember the dreams and hopes I had when a young woman just about to start life with my own husband. What a pretty bride you were, the sweet smile is the same! Lizzy darling, I need your email address to be able to give you access to your prize! Would you be a doll and send it to me. Thanks a bunch! xoxx

  6. Ah Lizzy this is such a beautiful layout. Didn't you just love the 80's... You look beautiful too. I remember feeling very grown up on my wedding day too and I was just 21... so many hopes and dreams..... So much texture on the background too and I love the subtle colours, make the photos just pop. So much detail, the chippies, pearls and the beautiful flowers. This is just gorgeous. Thanks so much for playing along with us at OUAS this month. :D
