Emma back to school Sept template 1 challenge

Such a heartfelt photo. Loved reading your journaling. Great layout with the challenge template!

Love the large black and white photo and the different feelings it communicates. At first glance it is a wonderful heart tugging (excellently composed) candid capture but then after reading the journaling it so communicates the sense of regret and the lingering reluctance to "let go". I can just imagine hearing Emma say "OK dad long enough - hug over" Really a powerful photo. Absolutely love the placement of the doodle hearts in the extracted area of the photo blend and also the little doodle flower after the title imposing itself on top of the mask. I am not overly fond of doodle style kits but just LOVE this page and how you have used the kit.

What a wonderful set of photos and journaling. Yes it brings a tear to my eye, that they do grow up and we have to let go. Don't know which is harder. Love the theme word art and the clusters. Thanks for joining in to Dagi's September Template Challenge.
