Live, Stand, Be...Strong!

Live, Stand, Be....Strong!

 Yes, I know today is the first day of Spring and yet this layout looks more like fall!  But this picture and the essence of my daughter just fit this month's Once Upon A Sketch  challenge.


 Here you can just make out where I use the wonderful Prima Marketing floral mask which I inked with a soft brown.

 My daughter is a "remarkable" woman.  Life is always always throwing her curve balls but she takes them in stride with grace and integrity.   These are the journaling words found on the back of the
layout.
