MY HEART WAS LIFTED ~ ONCE UPON A SKETCH CHALLENGE

Good afternoon, I hope  you are enjoying your weekend thus far.
Today I would like to share a layout for Once Upon A Sketch
and the the theme is to scrap about the woman/girls in your life.


My heart was lifted


One of the special girls in my life is my daughter. The quote reads " My heart was lifted on the wings of a thousand Butterflies the moment you came into my life "



Beautiful Flourish frame and butterflies are from Scrapmatts. I have just rubbed gesso over the flourish frame and the butterflies I embossed with Metallic Melts.
Prima chippies and satin seam binding and rosette from Craftqueen. I purchased some Fab Scraps papers last week and oh my they are gorgeous.



I carefully peeled back the wings between the layers of the chipboard to add dimension on the butterfly.



My journalling I have attached to the back of my layout and reads ~

 "I feel so blessed for the gift of you , my beautiful daughter. You mean the world to me, my best friend, confidante and my rock. Right from a little girl you have had a strong personality ; I swear that you think you are the mother at times. You were stubborn, determined and strong ! Even though the youngest amongst all the kids in the street you would tag along with the boys and would not cry if you fell over , you would pick yourself up and continue playing . You can be bossy. 
However now you are older you do like girly things as well, my gosh you LOVE shoes & shopping ! You have blossomed into a beautiful, capable, brave, strong woman. When it comes to your family and close friends your love and loyalty is fierce.
Love you to the moon and back and then some 
Mum x

Thanks for calling by

Love , Peace and Happiness
Mary
