I used Maggie Holmes Chasing Dreams collection, along with a few elements from Crate Paper Oasis. 

I fussy cut the roses from one of the Chasing Dreams papers, and paired my papers with this photo of my daughter, me and my boyfriend from a walk we took one weekend a few weeks ago. 

I'm finding that I'm getting more adept at sketches recently. I used to take them far too literally and had to position every single element in the same place as the sketch, using the same shapes. 

As such I didn't like using sketches, preferring to create my own pages, but I slowly came to realise they are just a rough idea and you can still make the pages your own. 

I know, I know, I'm slow on the uptake!
