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

Heather this page just fills me with emotion. I think it is the most beautiful page you have done scrappy wise but because it is about Mark it makes it so much more special. The blending of your colors is amazing (I so wish I had that talent) and the title, it just really digs deep.
