It is already March - I cannot believe we are in the 3rd month of the year! With the beginning of a new month, comes the arrival of the March sketch for The Scrapbook Store. A great sketch by Nadia, with a fabulous prize of a $40 voucher to spend in store, AND free postage to be won. Hope to see your 'sketch' over in the Gallery!

The photograph is of my daughter, she turned 7 and I made a doll for her - she loved that doll so much. I can remember taking these photos as if it were yesterday - so cannot believe where the time has gone - years in fact!
The papers are from the BoBunny 'Little Miss' paper collection - they seemed perfect teamed with some NEW Prima flowers, some trinkets and the Shabby Chic Sparrow resin I had in my stash. I used up some old Prima 'Say It In Pearls' that I'd used partly on another LO some time ago - matched perfectly. Weaved in some distress inked guaze in beneath the flowers, a few hand-made hat pins, and printed off some butterflies I found on Pinterest (love that site).
As I am right into using up some of my old stored laces, I added a row of Guipure lace, and highlighted it with crumpled/wrinkled paper.
See that little hidden 'Sparrow'? At the time this photograph was taken we had a pet Sparrow called Harry. Harry used to do all sorts of tricks, he was quite the character and all of the family adored him. I added the sparrow, for his memory too, and all the journaling is on the back of the layout.
This month is going to be a busy one for me, so if I don't call in to say 'hi' as often, please forgive me, I will eventually catch up when life settles down a little more. Would love to see some familiar faces join in with this months sketch!!
Back in a day or so...

A totally awesome layout, Sandie. Such a beautiful photograph of your daughter, it must bring back lots of great memories. The papers you used are perfect and I love the birdcages. Found the little sparrow too, it's just so cute. A really stunning layout. Even if your month is busy, I hope it's a good one. ox Marg

Now for your layout..Holy Moly... How clever was it to make it look unzipped!!! You truely rock!!! I love the distress look to the whole layout and love how you used the corrugated cardboard!
