ONCE UPON A SKETCH OCTOBER GUEST DT

Hello there everyone!!! it's October already?! well that means new challenges from different challenge blog sites and new sketches. i'm hoping to be able to play along with most of them. challenge blog and sketches has been a great source of inspiration for me. whenever i try to play along i don't necessarily look at the prizes i just want to join in the fun and be creative.
last month i was very lucky to have won  ONCE UPON A SKETCH Sept 1st challenge and so i was one of their GDT this month. if you are looking for inspiration i recommend you visit OUAS. they have an amazing sketch every 1st and 15th of the month. also, i know many of us scrappers doesn't like adding journaling in our layout, well together with their sketch they have a journaling criteria that will help you tell the story or memories about your photos.
for the October 1st challenge the
Journalling Criteria is toWRITE 2 noteworthy (to you anyway) events of the past week. Your journalling can be as long as you wish. There is NO limit to how much journalling you include but in order to qualify as a winner for this challenge, we must see AT LEAST 1 SENTENCE of journalling on WHY each event was noteworthy.
and here is my take using CRATE PAPERS RANDOM collection-



journaling says: i recently celebrated my 31st birthday and every year i feel so bless to be able to celebrate this special day with the most important people in my life- my family.

and here is the beautiful sketch from OUAS designed by Miss Nadia Cazzinno-

i hope i have inspired you to join us over at ONCE UPON A SKETCH and check out what the other wonderful DT's have created.
thank you sooo much for stopping by and have a great weekend. before i end this post i would like to leave you with my favorite words for today
