"Celebrate" LO for Sketches4All

It's time for our September contest at Sketches4All.  
This time we have a fall themed sketch challenge and 
an awesome prize of Echo Park's Christmas collection kit.

Here's the sketch to work with:

And here's DT Sample LO:

SUPPLIES:  Cardstock: Filstar Distributor Corp.; Pattern Paper: Filstar Distributor Corp.’ Hooray 6x6 Collection; Journaling Pen: Parker; Others: String, Flowers (from Karen Filipino), Buttons (from Joan Borgelt at a button swap).

The photo is of me taken while preparing to celebrate my mom's birthday at an out-of-town resort or get-away.  Though I realized that having a photo of my mom instead would have been more appropriate since it's her birthday but I didn't have a readily printed photo of her on the said occasion with the exact size as mine as shown on the LO.

Anyway, we had a great time celebrating with the quiet and serene atmosphere at the said resort.  And mom was glad to have time away from home. 


Love & Regards,

Winner to be drawn randomly with sponsor prize of 4 images from Meljen's Designs Tues, September 18, 2012 at US timezone. Participants have until Sun., September 16, 2012 to link their entries at the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog.
