Once Upon a Sketch - October 2013: Journey

Once Upon a Sketch has another great sketch and subject this month; I had wanted to cut the photo into three to match the sketch but they are so close that I could not separate them. The journaling is on the back. This a  companion page to my previous post My Heart Belongs to You; I could not talk of my whole family with such love without concentrating on the reason I have all of them. Many regular visitors to my blog will know I have four wonderful sons, all married, all with children and although one of them is no longer with us here, he is always in our hearts; for the first time in 27 years he is not in the family photos. This is a photo of my husband and our remaining three sons, they are my reason for living, my true north, my first thoughts in the morning and my last at night are for them and their families. They are my childhood dream come true and no matter where I am in the world they are the compass that brings me back home. They are my destiny.
 
Thank you for looking and for any comments you may leave, best wishes.

    This goes perfectly beside the other family photo page
    I love these colours and I'm so glad you did not cut up the photo.
    I love how the focus is on the photo

    Susan you have a beautiful family, you are right you do have handsome sons :D How wonderful to have so many grandies too. This is a lovely masculine layout. Love the worn look of the papers and the arrows guiding your eye to the photo. I love what you did with the sketch but it is your words that brings this whole layout together. Thanks for playing along with us at OUAS this month.

    I really have to chime in with Val, couldn't say it better myself. Your family is a true blessing and I know how much you love each other. The denim backing paper is just perfect for this photo of your men, LOVE the arrows Susan! Thank you so much for playing along with us at OUAS again! xx
