Scrapping Clearly March challenge

I have just spent the weekend at a retreat, and managed to get some scrapping done. Another couple of attendees at the retreat were Kylie Tout and Kim Kendall from Scrapping Clearly. Anyway, they asked me if I was going to have a go at the Scrapping Clearly challenge for March, so I had time on my hands at the retreat and did just that. Here is the challenge:

So I had 2 photos that I could have used for this, when I looked at the quote, lol, I had a photo of me with drink in hand. However, I changed my mind and used the photo on my layout of myself and my daughter. I loved the quote, but I shortened it. I thought that was appropriate for this layout. 

My daughter changed her career a couple of years ago, committing to study, to gain her enrolled nurse diploma. She worked hard at it, and has since been a graduate nurse, and now continues on her journey. She is also planning soon to return to uni to complete her studies to become a registered nurse. 

I flipped the sketch, as it worked better for the photo. I used texture paste and stencil for the background, applied some spray ink. I also fussy cut some floral paper and added flowers and other embellishments that I had on hand at the retreat. 

I really am raising a strong girl, who is becoming as equally a strong woman. 2 nurses in the family makes for some punch, lol. 

Love
