Once Upon A Sketch - January 1st Challenge

This is my first time playing along with Once Upon a Sketch challenge!! Basically, Once upon a Sketch is a Scrapbook Challenge blog that combines scrapbooking with the story behind each and every layout.. super love this idea!! though i seldom journal down my thoughts on my layout.. BUT there is always a start to everything:) 

In the January 1st Challenge, we are supposed to use this sketch as inspiration and do up a layout with New Year Eve as the journalling criteria.. 

You can visit their blog for more information, and inspirations from all the talented designers and scrap-booker:) (http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/january-1st-challenge.html)

So here's my take on this challenge, and i titled my layout as LOST IN TIME.. 

Basically, I met up with my very sweet girlfriend on new year eve itself to do a christmas exchange!! So i thought it would be very suitable to title the layout as lost in time.. The journal is stored in the purple rolled up paper, that was stuck near the title..

Close-up on the journalling.. It states "Christmas gift exchange that was done only on new yr eve.. it doesn't even matter, be it on christmas, new yr eve, new yr or even any other normal day.. it doesn't matter if there's gift or not.. all that matters is our friendship.. am so blessed to have you throughout all these yrs.. everything just seems more bearable with you around.. this is the first layout of us together. & i hope we will have many more to come.. so we have to camwhore more often when me meet k.." 

Some details of the layout as follows:
