Cousins



Last week it was announced that Sketchy Thursdays (my favorite sketch/challenge blog) was shutting down.  They posted their last sketch and I just HAD to use it and enter.  The above page was made following this sketch:


I used Authentique papers and embellishments that my friend Abby gifted me.  The picture is of my cousin Joanne and I a couple of weeks ago.  Joanne lives in New Jersey and we had not seen each other in 40 years!  She and her hubby own a vacation place about 2 hours south of us and were in town over the holidays so my dad and I met up with them for lunch.  It was so nice catching up with her and having our picture taken was a must!

Reconnecting with Joanne meant so much to me....she was one of my favorite cousins growing up and cousins are usually your first best friends.  I am entering this layout in Scrapfit's Workout #60... It's The Simple Things.  It really is the simple things like reconnecting with a long lost family member that really make life sweet.

  8. I really like your color combination. The *cousins* banner is such a great idea- I'll be borrowing that idea.:) I've never tried scrapbooking with sketches-you've inspired me. Really cute!
