Layout 6 Cherry Blossom

It does feel a bit like cheating showing this layout.

It was made last year & could not be shared because I entered it into a sketch challenge.
I then forgot all about it until today, when I was putting away the layout I completed last week.

This page features one of my most favourite photos.

I saw a sketch in one of the French magazines I read Esprit Scrapbooking,

it was designed by Kaori Watanabe & my favourite take on the sketch was by Fati Aissat

However, sadly I can not show you the layout she did, but I lifted much of her gorgeous,

simple design.
