AND THE COLOR ROOM

Palette #102

below is my take on the palette for this week  

slightly grungy but with a shabby chic feel as well.

love these earthy colors , so rich and divine.... love these Pion Papers 

I added my trademark stitching of course , masking and the embellies 

I used were Tim Holtz metal products and altered them to give them a rustic look and feel 

also the chipboard title and heart are from Imaginarium designs  

thanks for this beautiful palette Lydell , loved creating with it

March 15th Challenge at Once upon a .. Sketch

So, lets have a look at the new challenge. 

March 15th Challenge

Journalling Criteria:   Finish this line "I miss...". 

 Tell us about someone you are missing right now and why. Your journalling can be as long or as little as you like, but we want to hear all about someone you are missing!

Ideas for journalling: missing time alone with your partner, missing your old self, missing your children because they are off to school, university or living away from you, missing your children being young, missing a friend you have not seen in a while, someone in another country, someone that has passed away, a mentor whose advice you could use, a relative you wish you lived closer to, someone you regret having an argument with, missing a pet

Remember that you are allowed to also create a card or altered project based on this sketch and theme and instead of the journalling criteria you need to use a quote. 

YOU MUST combine our journalling criteria with this sketch..

 this photo was taken 2 weeks before my precious son Mark was killed on his motorbike

I found this page very emotional but as I progressed,

 I felt myself reliving the magical, wonderful times we had as a family -

 Baden, Tara, Mark and me  .

"I believe and trust in the process of life "

this challenge is all about loss - someone we are missing right now 

I decided to create a page on Mark and do some journaling from my heart

It is very personal to me so I created this little pocket to hold my message to Mark .

sometimes it is so difficult to scrap sad memories but I have found it is also very healing 

I have a complete book of Mark's life from birth to age 22 .. 

I miss him every single day .

I am healing little by little and Mark is always in my heart, there is a special place reserved just for him ..

 love you and miss you so much Marky J. xoxoxo

Once upon a .. Sketch

 March 1st Challenge

Journalling Criteria/Theme:

All About Me!

The focus of your journalling and the theme of your layout has to be based on YOU

 and something/or things that you are really good at.

 Don't be shy! We are all good at something as small or as big as it might be.

Ideas for journalling: being a good mum, cooking, talking, understanding people,

 organising, cleaning, gardening, studying, computers, fashion,

 exercising, scrapbooking, good at my job, maths, languages, writing ,

 drawing, painting, photography, running, craft, sewing.

 Maybe you can talk about an aspect of your personality..

your sensitivity, your 6th sense, your patience, your strength or bravery,

 your ability to stay positive. 

Remember that you are allowed to also create a card or altered project 

based on this sketch and theme and instead of the journalling criteria

 you need to use a quote.

Many of us find it difficult to write about ourselves , 

but there is something really very 'EMPOWERING' about owning your talents ...

everyone of us have strengths and talents,

so I encourage you to create a page on yourself??

"YOUR EXPRESSION IN ALL ITS FORMS IS THE DANCE OF CREATION"
