Life's Journey


It's reveal day at My Creative Sketches, and this month's inspiration comes from this lovely sketch by Liz Chidester.


I used papers mainly from BoBunny's The Avenues collection for my layout, the colours of which I think match the colours in my photos perfectly! I also combined these with a couple of papers from the Gabrielle collection, which complemented The Avenues collection so well.


I inked and water-distressed the papers, and embellished the layout with paper doilies, some lace, flowers and metal embellishments.


I also used 3D foam dots for the mounted photos to give the layout some depth and dimension.


Here are some close-up shots.




I so love this quote - it's one of my all-time favourites.
