Gee wiz... it seems lately the only posts I make here are for my Stuck On U Sketches challenge weeks. Things should soon start slowing down for me here in the weeks ahead, so hopefully I will then have some time freed up to get more crafty and bloggy, lol! At least that's what I'm a hopin' for!
So yes, it is SOUS sketch reveal Friday here and that makes me sooo happy! Also kinda makes me sad though too, because it's my last sketch as a SOUS designer. I hate to give up my spot on the team, but I know there are so many other talented ladies waiting for their chance to shine their creative lights there too! So with that, I do hope you like my interpretation of Leah Shaeffer's sketch this week...

I really love the split imagery design of this sketch and it was easy for me to roll with it! I had the perfect photo to scrap about and I knew I wanted to use the cool tattoo heart imagery to compliment the photo, using the Indie Art Cricut cartridge.
"A Permanent Remembrance", is about my brother's tattoo that he's gotten in memory of his son (my nephew), Isaac. Later after we had lost our Ava and Amelia, my brother went and had hearts added to his tattoo for both of them with their initials as well. Probably one of the most touching gestures of love that a brother can do... I still am beyond touched and I think it looks just lovely!
All the papers and stickers here are from the most recent "Carefree" collection by Authentique! I thought the collection was perfect for adding just the right amount of masculinity to this page, especially with that muted gray woodgrain pattern! I also used some Core'dinations Core Essentials cardstock. The wing diecut is also cut from the Indie Art cartridge. I tied on the sticker tag embellies with some Papertrey Ink natural twine.
Hope you've enjoyed this sketch and my page. Please don't forget to go to the SOUS blog and see what all the other ladies have created this week as well. Before I go I'd like to express to the girls how much I've enjoyed sharing my work over on the blog and how fun it's been getting to know each and everyone them. They are a special group of ladies and I've been totally inspired by them all! Thanks for having welcomed me there at Stuck On U Sketches!
