Once Upon A Sketch Challenge!

Hi everyone! It's live! Yup, the challenge is live and it's all about you! For our Nov. 1st challenge we would like you to use this sketch, by Nadia, the lovely creator and owner of OUAS and journal at least 2 sentences on when you started scrapbooking and why. For me, this was very exciting...a friend had shown be a small book that the teacher had done about her son, during his year of kindergarden. I was so inspired that I went right out and bought scrapping stuff to do some lo's with my children. Shortly after that one of my daughters got a scholarship to go to a ski academy, so I decided to scrap her years there. My picture is of a scrapbook that I put together for her by using one of her old ski racing outfits. This is such an important memory for us. Now, I am simply obsessed with scrapping...I just can't seem to get enough of it...it allows me to not only take pictures, but also put them together in the form of art...a true passion of mine.


The sketch
