After getting married and having two children, I
felt complete. This is what I had wanted - a
wonderful husband, two great kids, a house, and
my animals. What else could be better? Then I
started thinking about long lost friends from my
past. People I have lost touch with for one
reason or another, and started feeling
nostalgic.
One friend in particular, who was like a sister
to me, I hadn’t spoken with in seven years! We
were friends since the seventh grade and went
through all of the growing pains together -
adolescence, boy troubles, first jobs, college,
career choices… I really wanted to get in touch
with her and see how she was, tell her I missed
her. So, one day, I just called her and luckily
I was able to talk with her. We had a lot of
catching up to do, but it felt like our seven
year hiatus never happened. We still talk and
have even visited with each other (cross
country!) She’s another part completing my
family and all it took was one phone call.

Design note:
I made this sketch for Easter weekend’s
Saturday Night Scrap. I figured everyone
would be busy with the holiday and this was
a simple one to get done. A single photo,
bit of room for journaling and some
embellishments. I also felt the empty space
above and below the photo block was a
perfect opportunity to use those papers that
has some patterns on a diagonal that you may
normally end up covering with photos or
other paper.

Editor's note:
Check out
that felt worm! It completes the page
and pulls the viewer over to the journaling.

Journaling: You are becoming an avid
reader, just like your Mommy. You are
constantly seen with a book in hand, and we
always travel to faraway lands before bed
each night. I hope you will always love to
read and have that appreciation for
learning, Little Man.

Design note: I
wanted to keep the diagonal feeling of the
sketch. This patterned paper had most of
the pattern on a diagonal, but some was off
to the side. I used stickles on the leaves
from the bottom left corner to the top right
and also put my smaller photos on that
angle, enhancing the diagonal design line.
