Remember me....lol!! I have been a really really SLACK blogger lately but all for good reasons. The last two weeks saw me with another lot of visitors....and then when they left...we left town too..lol!! We headed away to this gorgeous place....Hervey Bay...a coastal town along the beautiful coast of Queensland to celebrate my Mum's 60th birthday with all my family. Its was a long and I mean long 14hr+ round trip due to many major road works along the coast road but well worth the time and thankfully my boys are really good travellers...
Anyway, you are here for scrapping so I will share a few bits with you today....
Here is the card I made my mum :)) Now I am no card maker, but I do really love this one....
Running a little late with posting this one up but here is the latest sketch at Stuck Sketches?!.... if you love sketches and need a little challenge...try this one out...you won't be sorry!!
I have a love/hate relationship with circles...sometimes they work for me and sometimes they don't!...and unfortunately this time it wasn't really working for me...so if you struggle like I do with circles...just change it to a rectangle like I did....lol!!
Sketch:
Take Note....I think my journalling pretty much explains how I am feeling at the moment...it has just hit me recently that my eldest is off to Prep next year...so another reason why I am not around as much as I could be...I want to spend as much time as I can with him when he isn't at Kindy....I feel like I miss him already and it hasn't even started...sigh..!!
Lots of Prima goodness here...with a Tim Holtz metal clock...
and name plate....paper by Bo Bunny from the Ectra line..
A Lil' Somethin' butterflies and flag....
as well as their fabric ruler ribbon :))
Well off to do a catch up...thanks so much for visiting...your comments are very much appreciated :))
I promise I will be back VERY soon with some more scrappy shares!
Bye

ReplyDeleteWe love holidaying at Hervey Bay too, such a great place for families with younger kidlets.
My youngest starts prep next year, he's my 3rd so it's a bit easier this time round. He'll be in a composite prep/1 class with his brother though so that will be very interesting... the poor teacher LOL!
My oh My Min! what an awesome place that Hervey Bay! we have nooothing remotely close to it over here. Absolutely dreamy, as is the card! Love each and one of your layouts, always have! No comfort now, but I'm sure he'll love school and you'll soon get into the everyday drill. Meanwhile, hug him some extra! take care, mwah!
