My Journey To You (OUAS October Challenge)

I'm back today to share my take on the October challenge at Once Upon A Sketch.  It's a good one!

The challenge is use the word 'The journey...' as journalling theme for your layout based on this sketch:




The first thing that comes to mind when i hear the word 'journey' is my life before Yves and my life now with Yves.  The journey to him has not always been easy - there were a lot of tears shed and a lot of wondering if i would ever find someone to love me for who i am and for me to love wholeheartedly.

In 2006, Yves and i met and i stopped wondering.

There is no doubt in my mind that he is the one that i have been searching for all those years and the one with whom i want to share the rest of my life's journey.  


I included the journalling on a tag that i tucked behind the picture.

The background of my layout was masked using molding paste, stamped and then misted with Glimmer Mists.

 I love these crystal flourishes and flowers from Zva Creative!


 One more look at the happy couple! :)

What does the word 'Journey' inspire you to create?  Join me and link up your layout at Once Upon A Sketch before end of day October 25th for the chance to win some awesome prizes and a GDT spot in December.  If you play along, leave me a comment with a link to your creation - i would love to see! :)
