Sweet & Condensed

I had this page all the way home in my head from PA. Well, not exactly, but I had the journalling running around. AND my partner in crime at work had given me this photo as a joke...(ok, so I had asked for it as joke around Christmas time and said when he was famous, I would be able to sell it and I finally got the photo when I was down in the office)..so I knew I had to do SOMETHING with it...

Here is my journalling:

As I was driving back North from my three or four days
in Towanda, Pa I was thinking about life in general.
Our move, supportive hubby, beautiful children, how
lucky I was to take a job with me, how much fun the
guys I work with are, cool friends, and how fast things
seem to go. So, I may have been a bit overtired…
but I was thinking how condensed things seem to
get the older I am. Hence the title of this page,
Sweet & Condensed, like the milk!

The paper is a combination of Webster's Pages (Spring Market), Prima (Scribe-Reflections Collection), a piece I printed out (Sweet & Condensed Milk Vintage Ad) and Bo-Bunny (Back to Basics). June's kit from We B Scrappin' included an assortment of papers that went so nicely together. The flowers are mostly Prima with a collection of brads from Close to My Heart. The butterfly is from Prima as well. I didn't have a ton of time today, so it was nice to have an assortment of items that went so nicely together.

The layout is fresh off the Once Upon A .....Sketch Blog and is their May 15th Challenge. If you want to check it out, click here! Nadia always has some awesome sketch. I had to change mine up to accommodate the single photo. Everything else pretty much stayed true to the sketch. The second requirement was that the journalling be typed, which worked well for this page since I had a lot to say and I really wanted to make sure I got all the ideas down. I used a sheet of sticky backed vellum to print my text onto so you could see the paper underneath.

Well, wish me luck! This challenge blog always has some amazing talent participating!
