Punky Scraps #47 (scrap Fx)

Hi, there, this is a layout that I did for the sketch challenge over at punky scraps.  The sketch was gorgeous and I really wanted to stick to it as close as possible.  When I saw the butterflies with the paint drips, I instantly thought new beginning.  I knew at that point that my sister would be the subject of the layout.  Do you remember my playground page?  Well it was about my sister and how I had to start looking away because it hurt so much to see the destructive path she was on.  It wasn't because she was a bad person or anything like that, but she was living her life out of a place of pain and was being tormented by it.  I don't know exactly what happened but over the last year she has just made some drastic changes in her life, and she has been amazing me with the steps she has taken.  Its like she is a new, strong, and confident version of her old self!  I just love this girl to pieces and am so proud of her!
I used a beautiful wordlet from Scrapfx and the crafters workshop's "mariposa" template

Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog! I hope your having a great start to the week!
