Today I'm sharing my take on the sketch Tina challenged us with.
I think you all know how much I love sketches and this two photo template was really appealing. I assumed that the photos were 6x4 and therefore, I'm not sure my page has the same proportions as the original, but other than that, I stayed pretty true to the design.
The double photo design was perfect to record a then and now version of me on this anniversary page for moving to Germany. How can it be 18 years already? It feels like yesterday even on days when I think about all the ups and down and changes we've gone through - enough to last a lifetime or two!
The photo on the left was taken at the leaving "do" I had when I left my job in Cambridge to make the big move, and the photo on the right is from just a few weeks ago when we were visiting a fabulous Baroque/Rococo Schloss in southern Germany. I'm not sure I'm the same person as I was back then - yes, of course, a "bit" older these days - but I feel as if I'm totally different.
Anyway, this challenge gave me the chance to write a few lines about the topic and I'm happy to have been given the nudge to make it so close to the event.
I interpreted the line of stitching and flower element along the top as an extension of my title and a few gems.
The flowers on the edge of the page have changed into a flair, some gems and a little fussy cutting from the Shimelle word paper. I just picked out a handful of phrases that loosely fitted the topic of the page.
And again, the element on this side of the page transformed into another flair, some more dots and a few more phrases.
The places on the top of the photos were a final idea so that I don't forget to notice how the places affected the person in the photo!
Here's to the next 18 years. I wonder what that time will bring?
I hope you'll check out the others and how they've interpreted the sketch for themselves? You can find them all over at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog here and don't forget to share if you make a page using this sketch - we love to see you using your kits!

18 years has flown by already, and I'm so blessed to have known you a little bit via the blogsphere for half that time. Girl, one of these days you might even start to show a day of aging, but not yet it seems.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very pretty page, I especially like how you use those phrase strips.
You are too sweet friend! Maybe one day we might even meet up! I'm happy to have you as my online fellow Scorpio friend too! xx
