Pure Love- Once Upon a Sketch- GUEST

It's time for the new sketch at Once Upon a Sketch http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/july-15th-challenge.html?showComment=1310760631713#c5753864402556656584
I was a Guest Designer for this month. Isn't this a fabulous sketch?
I think I'm going to use this design again. Thanks Nadia for your inspiration.
Here's my Guest Designer layout using the sketch.
PURE LOVE

It's now framed and hanging on Sienna's wall.
I'm not much of a pink girl really but when you see this adorable sweet baby girl it melts your heart. I wanted this to be so feminine and pretty. I've sprayed and inked all the flowers and embellies with a pink dusting and a little whitewashing. 


This baby is now so grown up. *sigh* I do miss the smell and soft warm skin.
Yes that's a breast feeding pic tucked in there. I'm a midwife so breasts are a big part of my job. lol
But I didn't want to offend so it's fairly discreet.

Lots of paints and spraying.

Journalling criteria was a quote. This one from Brian Andreas is so beautiful and perfect.
"She laid on my chest and her breathing filled me almost to beyond what I could hold."


                        My journalling: You embraced my heart and took my breath away.
With this little girl, I became a mother after many years of trying. I was so blessed to have two.

                       Thanks so much for dropping by and leaving your kind thoughts.
                                                     Jenix

  8. Jeni this is one of the most beautiful LOs I have seen. And I just love that you have used a breastfeeding photo. I too have one but have been a bit scared to use it. Maybe now I will.
    Just gorgeous.

  9. Beats me how anyone can be offended by the most tender thing a mother and child has when the photos are as beautiful and delicate as these. Admittedly, wouldn't want to see the whole monty exposed though, but photos like these are just so precious! Aaah, had no idea you are a midwife IRL, it kind of figures. Your page is absolutely stunning Jeni, so happy that you've had it framed and placed it where it can be truly admired in all its beauty. Thanks for your visit and for your sweet well wishes on my new exciting gig, really appreciate it! Have a wonderful week! xoxoxox

  16. This is absolutely beyond beautiful Jenni - so special - to be treasured forever! Sadly I hadn't started scrapbooking when I was breastfeeding so never thought to get any snaps of it - I breastfeed for 8 years of my life (4 kids) - the chair was worn thin by the time I was finished with it - I am a massive advocate :)
