Once Upon A Sketch - My first page

Hi girls,
First I have to say a huge, BIG, EXTRA Ginormous thank you to YOU for your wonderful support and comments and congrats on my new venture.
I still cannot believe it and my head is spinning with what is ahead of me so thank you thank you thank you.  
It really means a lot to have your encouragement and support. 

Now onto my first page for Once Upon a Sketch.  

Journalling Criteria: This time you need to journal 2 lines directly on your photo. You can write on your photo, you can print your writing on your photo,  you can use journalling strips on your photo. There is no theme this time, just a journalling technique criteria. 
I tried to create a page with a bit of a twist to the layers in the sketch because I didn't really have scallops or a punch that suited.

Each day at any time of the day I say to DD "Have I told you today?" and she replies with "That you love me" and I say "I Love You".  So I tried to capture that within this page.

I have also used Imaginarium Designs Chippy butterfly and flourishes inking them in silver.



This challenge will end on the 29th of September , which is 2 weeks from today and you will all have a chance to vote for the winner and Top 5 projects for one whole day on the 30th of September before the new challenge is posted on the 1st of October.

The catch here is that everyone can only vote 1 time, but of course you can get everyone you know to vote for you! As it gets closer to the day I will remind you all, and we just cannot wait to see who you will pick!

  15. I would like to express my thanks to this writer for bailing me out of such a matter. Right after looking out through the web and getting things which were not powerful, I assumed my life was over. Living devoid of the strategies to the issues you’ve fixed by way of the short article is a critical case, as well as the ones that might have negatively damaged my career if I hadn’t discovered your web blog. Your main mastery and kindness in taking care of everything was helpful. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not encountered such a subject like this. I’m able to at this time look forward to my future. Thanks very much for your professional and result oriented guide. I won’t be reluctant to refer your site to anyone who needs and wants counseling on this issue.
