We are still in the midst of family drama here. Lots of deep breaths and more than a few tears. I found some time to scrap and decided to remind myself of something I love.
I decided to use some papers I really loved too as a way to cheer me up. I love that Maggie Holmes clouds and text paper. I couldn't choose so I used both sides. Then I added the Amy Tangerine kraft and clouds paper as well. Now that I look at the finished layout I see the kraft mirrors the sand and the blues in the the sky paper and the sky in my photo are a good match. I didn't notice that until looking at the layout onscreen.
I included a couple of embellishment clusters. I used mainly Amy Tangerine and Crate Paper and Dear Lizzy embellishments.
There is some journalling behind the photo. It just talks about the stuff we are going through and how hard it is . It doesn't need to be the focus of the layout but I feel so much happier to get the feelings out of my head.
I am in the home stretch of my knitting so I may just get another layout or even some Project Life up before the end of the week. We have a field trip to look forward to tomorrow so long as the haze is not too bad. We have been housebound as the air quality is at a level that young children should not be out in it. If it doesn't improve then the field trip will be cancelled. Roll on our New Zealand holiday and lots of cold fresh air!
