Follow Your Dreams























Hi there!! Me again!! This is my entry for the May Challenge at Once Upon A Sketch in collaboration with Berry71bleu and I managed to complete it with just a few hours to spare..lol!! The theme of the challenge is to use a number on the project and what that particular number means to you. So, I added the month and year just below my title. This month , May 2013, would be exactly two years since my sister, hubby and Isabella left South Africa to pursue a better  and safer life in another country and this move was mainly for the sake of Isabella as there is not much of a future for the youth in this country anymore. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I miss that little family :( The journaling s inside a little envelope which is tucked behind the photo on the left of the layout :) The chipboard required in the challenge by Berrybleu71 is a decorative chipboard circle which I painted white. And with that I guess it concludes my entry...lol!! Here is Nadia's wonderful sketch:






















I also used the following papers from Maja design:





















Crea Diem: Ord Flyger Bort





















Crea Diem: Kann Dig Sjalv BS























Vintage Summer Basics - 1912






















Crea Diem: Kann Dig Sjalv





















Crea Diem: Ord Flyger Bort BS

And that is all for today my friends and now I am going to take advantage of this gorgeous day and what is left of it to spend some time in the garden :)

Till next time..happy scrapping!! :) xx

  13. Ooooh I love those papers! Beautiful page & well done for getting it in at the last minute - think I'm going to have to give up hope of getting another OUAS challenge done with all that's on my plate right now - even missed the Prima BAP and PPP this month (they left it sooo late!) That chippie circle looks just like one we have at Scrapmatts - if it is you must load it into the gallery on their Ning site :) Have a good weekend!!
