Sunny Forever and Ever....Once Upon A Sketch April Challenge

Today I'm sharing my entry to the Once Upon A Sketch Challenge for April.   The journaling theme this month is "An event that changed my life......"  I chose to scrap about my move from Boston to San Diego in the 80's.  I moved on the spur of the moment following a big snow storm.  I actually read a magazine article about San Diego entitled  "Sunny today, sunny tomorrow, sunny forever and ever."  I was going through a major change in my life, and just decided to buy a ticket and go.  I hopped aboard a Delta and never looked back.  I was trying to show the one half of the layout as white and wintery, bleak and cold, and then move into the sunshine. It was a real challenge for me, but then again so was the move!  Hope you like it! 
Below is the sketch:

    Nancy I think you have created a very clever layout and transitioned from the cold to the hot climates so well. I would have done the same thing. I love this. Great colour and texture and I think it was very brave of you too :D Glad it worked out so well. Great job on the challenge too :D Thanks so much for playing along with us at OUAS this month - Please load your layout onto our OUAS FB page for another chance to win a prize.
