Once Upon A Sketch - 3 Sisters

A big Hello to you on this windy friday here..

 I am feeling very subdued today at the news headlines of a plane going down and my heart goes out to those who are feeling this terrible tragedy personally today....

The latest challenge for OUAS is to use the theme of numbers and to use the sketch...
I had so many thoughts on this one but I went with a photo of my sisters and I and a photo taken of us at the family wedding a couple of years ago when we were all dressed up...

3 Sisters - a college of closies..

 My journalling which I put on the back of my layout..
and my layout..

Lots of stamping and stenciling on the back ground.. fussy cutting and die cut leaves in old book paper..  Suzy on the left, Mim in the middle and me!! And yes I am the youngest!!!

Thank you for dropping by,  everyday may not be good, but I hope you find something good in today..
Your comments are always appreciated too... xx

  3. Lovely work Lizzy - I can relate to having Sisters, as I have three. The hand me down clothes was part of my growing up too. Love the fussy cutting here and the book page leaves are a great idea; I think I might scrap jack that! :D

  6. Beautiful work Lizzy! The background work is just stunning, and one of my favourite elements of your layout is the contrast between the layers of soft lace & delicate punching and the metal flowers - awesome! X

  8. Love this Lizzy - such precious photos of you and your sisters. I too always longed for a sister when I was a child (I was an only child and I think that is why now I have such a big family of my own!)

  14. LOVELY layout Lizzy and I hear you. I am the ONLY girl with three brothers and my poor youngest brother always got the short end of the stick and I was always soooooo grateful to be the only girl for that very reason :) This is a wonderful rich layout for your sisters and you. Love the journalling too. Thanks for playing along with us at OUAS again this month.
