September Challenges - Scrap Around the World & Once Upon A Sketch

I dont often get the time to do online Challenges

But last night I was inspired by two Challenges....

The first one from

Scrap Around the World.

You will find their link here

This is the Mood Board for their Challenge.

You might be able to see why it inspired me.

First off the Steampunk Genre jumped out at me!! Love this at the moment!

And I love the pink and red....

And the angel wings.

So I decided to use the pink, the cogs with gold highlights and the Angel wings

as my inspiration for a layout about me today.

Seeing as the Steampunk concept is me at the moment,

I thought this would be the perfect representation.

Here is my Layout....

"Today"

Then as further inspiration I used this months sketch from

Once Upon A Sketch

You will find their blog here

Part of the Challenge this month is journalling, which I struggle with..

But its on there...

Once Upon a Sketch

Ive been so busy lately with one thing or another

that i have barely had a chance to scrap!

But i am working with Aprils Kit from

The Polka Dot Place at the moment!

LOVE IT!

(There are only a few kits left, so if you want one, better be quick!!)

And came across this sketch site

Once upon a Sketch..

This is their May Sketch....

The layout

"Fresh Faces Beauty"

There is journaling on the tag,
but i got a little carried away with the flowers!! (Whoops!)
Here is a close-up!
(there isn't much, but it is there!!)

On the home front:

Emelia went back to school on Friday!

We spent most of the holidays together and after two days of fighting

started to enjoy each others company again!
Its so funny, when we were fighting i remember when i used to go home to visit Mum & Dad after I left home and all Dad ever did was fight with me!! There was never a time that he didn't.

It just made me wonder whether it was a similar situation with Me and Dad as there was with Emelia and I.

I think it was because over 2 months, so much can happen and people adjust accordingly.

I have gone off medication this year so i am feeling every emotion naturally and handling it accordingly, so rather than just pass of any comment that was said that might have been hurtful or something i reacted. 

But the upside is that everyone got dealt with fast and after we recovered we had a wonderful time!

But I miss her again so much now.

Im not crying as much this time, but there have been tears.

I suppose i will get used to it!
