October Challenge

Hey everyone!

Welcome to another month here at Once Upon A..Sketch. This month we have The Flying Unicorn which is teaming up with us and you will see a lot of inspiration throughout the month!

Thank you all for joining our challenge each and every month. I hope you like this one :) 
Have fun!!

Journalling Theme: "The women/girls etc in our lives..." 

You are free to interpret our theme ANY WAY you like. It is for your inspiration and this theme word DOES NOT need to be part of your title or journalling. But please make sure your layout is based on the sketch below and includes journalling (hidden journalling is fine). Acceptable journalling is MORE than just a sentence, or generic writing such as date/place etc. It needs to be present and at least 3 lines long. Remember, hidden journalling (under a photo/tag or behind your page) is perfectly fine but please DO let us know in your post where your journalling is! 



Please help me welcome our winner from the August challenge, the GORGEOUS
LISA GRIFFITH 

Hello! My name is Lisa Griffith and I live in the United States with my husband and my eight year old son. My style varies depending on the theme of my photograph and the mood I am trying to create, but I always like to include rich textures, beautiful flowers and lots of paints. On the weekends you’ll find me antique-hunting at estate sales, I’m always looking for vintage findings to incorporate into my work, bits of lace, old book pages, vintage beads or buttons. I loved the theme this month, I immediately thought of my mum, she means the world to me, and I love to scrap vintage photos of her, like this one of her by the sea. I would love it if you would visit me at Paper Attic. Thank you so very much to Once Upon a Sketch for having me!
