Another Giveaway & Once Upon A Sketch

Hi There!

Hooray the kids are back to school & kinder. I can finally clean the house & know it will stay tidy for at least 1 day!

Today I wanted to share a LO I created for the July Once Upon  A Sketch challenge but first up I am having a blog candy giveaway!!! I am so grateful for my lovely followers that has now reached over 100. Your comments & support really mean soooooooooo much!!! U guys always make me smile! So to celebrate hitting 100 followers & really just to celebrate how awesome u all r here is what I am giving away!

There is 19 sheets of paper from Pink Paislee (London Market), Websters Pages, Prima & Fancy Pants, Prima flowers, Pink Paislee London Market Ephemera & Jumbo numbers, alphas, chipboard pieces, rubons & Websters Pages trim

The theme for the July challenge at Once Upon A Sketch is 'Friends'
This is the sketch

& my page
This is me & my 3 besties Brooke, Tan & Tez. Tan, Tez & I became best friends at the start of highschool. I met Brooke about 10 years ago when I started working in Real Estate. The 4 of us are really close. We have been each others bridesmaids & are Godmother to each others kids.
We have had soooooo many laughs & fun together but  have also been there through the tough times of relationship break downs, the death of a parent & miscarriages. I LUV that I can tell these 3 girls anything. They don't judge & they are always ready to lend a helping hand. I feel so blessed to have them in my life!!
I have used Graphic 45 A Ladies Diary. The colours of this collection are gorgeous & I luv the vintage pics that G45 do so well!

I journalled on a kraft tag & tucked this behind the lace

To give my page a real vintage feel I did some stamping then applied some Crackle Paint over the top. I also stamped on some masking tape.

I had a great time out on Saturday night at the ball. I danced all night & have blisters on both feet now! I don't think I have any photos to show though sorry. we pulled out the camera towards the end of the night when we were looking rather less polished LOL!

Cheers
