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