Sketchabilities #51

It's reveal day at Sketchabilities and this is the first sketch we got to work with!



And here is my take on this awesome sketch!



A few close ups...







This was probably the most difficult layout I have ever done, having just lost my Mom back in May, it doesn't quite seem real yet. She was my best friend and I miss her more then I can express. When I first started this blog it was mainly for her, so she could see my work and whatnot. She'd always make a comment to me over the phone about my recent layouts, so mom wherever you are I hope you like this one.

Be sure to stop by
Sketchabilities to check out all of Design Teams take on this sketch!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

I can understand that it must be hard for you to work with this picture. I lost my mom in 2003 and I still miss her. I love your layout, it's a real legacy.

Michelle, welcome to the team and this is really a beautiful layout with beautiful photo. I understand how you feel after the loss of your mother, but she is probably very happy that you made such a awesome page for her. Looking forward to seeing your next layout!!

I was thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were, then i saw a comment from you on my blog so it must be a sign ;) hope you are doing well, you must know how much your mom loves you and that she is watching over you, she was probably thrilled to see your layout and how great of a job you did, it looks amazing!
